I got a rook piercing and the piercer screwed up and took a small chunk out of my cartilage (2-3mm) what should I do ? It's an open little gauge and it's crusted in blood. I didn't notice until I got home, I thought she just snagged a small piece of skin but she took a piece out of my cartilage by accident. Do I need to get sutures or stitches ?
