The best way to pierce ear cartilage (or any cartilage) is with a needle. Using a piercing gun (a machine which fires a sharpened stud through tissue) is generally a bad idea as they tend to crack the surrounding cartilage because guns were not designed to pierce cartilage. This cracking results in a longer healing time, more pain, and can cause wonky piercings and increase your chance of keloids (bumps of scar tissue around the piercing).
So, with a needle the procedure is simple. A straight, bevelled, medical grade needle, usually 14 or 16 gauge is pushed through the ear. The jewellery then slides through afterwards. Easy.

Why doesn't your ear bleed when it gets pierced?
You are piercing through cartilage. Well I wouldn't call the lobe cartilage....If it is done right and surface capillaries have been checked for, you wont generally get any blood cause you are making a 14 ga. hole with a 14 ga. needle, and filling it with 14 ga. jewelry....Where do you have any room for blood??? Hope this helps..... Oh, by the way, there are surface capillaries feeding the surface of the skin over the cartilage too.....
How do you take a cartilage piercing out?
Take a cartilage piercing out like any other ear piercing, get a grip of one hand on the jewel part of the earring and the other hand on the backing and slowly pull hand #1 out pushing away from the face. While this is occurring, take hand #2 and push the backing in a twisty motion away from the face. Do NOT take out a cartilage piercing if not in for 1 full year to 1.5 years in the risk of infection. If already infected, contact your physician and have him/her remove it. Do not do so yourself! :) good luck!
