I had my cartilage pierced @ Straight to the Point about 6 mos. ago. It was a great experience.....very clean & professional and I would highly recommend it to others.....(I even took my daughter there to get her bellybutton pierced). I happen to develop a very painful cyst on the back of my cartilage which I've been told is pretty common. The gal I spoke to @ STTP was so helpful and told what I should do.....she said for me to dissolve an aspirin in saline solution and make a paste to put on the cyst. Unfortunately it didn't work. BUT........I would like to share something that I found instead of aspirin that worked wonders and that you should tell other clients that may have similar issues w/ painful cysts. I used tea tree oil......OMG.....the cyst was completely gone (dissolved) in less than 48 hours. I must say that I didn't smell real good for those 48 hours (tea tree oil is a bit stinky) but heck the cyst is gone and I'm good to go. Definitely a tip I felt I needed to pass on. Lyssa W. :)
