I'm at the beach and had the idea to get my ears pierced.

Make sure, whatever you decide to do, you go to a place that uses clamps and needles. If theg use a gun (looks like a weird stapler thing), don't go there. Not only does it hurt like hell, it can shatter your cartelidge and fuck up your ear forever.

It's going to hurt. It's going to get infected. You're going to die.

but definitely go to a piercing shop instead of a piercing booth. when i had my ears pierced as a young teen they got the piercing gun stuck in my ear and the hole's really crooked (plus it hurt like fuck). it tends to get swollen and red when i wear earrings for very long in that ear.

a cartilage piercing hurts more than getting a second hold in the soft part of your lobe, but it still isn't very bad. be prepared to keep the piercing clean, keep your hair away from it, and sleep without laying on the piercing. they will try to sell you a cleanser and you should actually buy it. also, if the place looks dirty at all then gtfo.
