its not a big deal, but i want the top part of my ear done!

but ive heard that if you have it done with a gun, you get a ball behind the top of your ear.

so i need a place that'll do it with a needle, but i don't no anywhere.

can anyone help!

The "ball" behind your ear is called hypertrophic scarring, caused by the fact that the studs used in guns arent actually sharp enough to pierce cartlidge properly, and the fact that theyre usually too short to account for the swelling that occurs afterwards. Go to Feline, off Ecclesall Road, theyll do it properly, using quality jewellery. After that, its just up to you to make sure you look after it properly till its healed.
