I was just wondering, is it possible to cut off circulation to part of your ear with a piercing?? I got an industrial piercing done about a month ago, and part of my ear has gone a bit soft where it used to be more stiff. When the piercing was done some blood came out, however I didn't think it was too big a deal and neither did the woman who did the piercing. (It was a clean place, she wore gloves and used a new needle.)
