I think its interesting a lot of these anons find this trashy and believe it holds you back from moving upwards in society.
First off, these days people are learning to be comfortable with many types of people and their expressions. And those who are not are finding themselves more and more excluded for their prejudices. Sure there are big wigs who still strut around with puritanical views and exclude all but the platinum blond, blue eyed Aryans from their country clubs and private board meetings, but who wants to deal with them anyways.
Second, getting a cartilage piercing is nothing that abnormal. It really depends on what the piercing is exactly. If its gaudy, people will see that. If its minimal, people will not notice much. Your choice how you want to be reflected.
Finally, I don't have a preference on if its cute or not, but Its between cute or status quo, not trashy. If you did something wild with it, then you could make things look bad, sure.
My opinion is a stud over a ring or bar though. Looks cleaner, but that is just me. Cheers!

Fundamentally any body modification is borderline trashy because it is a surrogate for expressing yourself in more upscale ways, i.e. language and action - an off-the-shelf piercing or a tat off a book is basically conformist within certain age-society class combinations that aren't very upwardly mobile.
How much trashy depends on your expectation of upwards mobility. A boob tat won't prevent you from some dude taking you home to mom, provided mom co-resides with him at a trailer park, but it probably will prevent you from being photographed with the president (unless it goes with a story of you being rescued from some horrible life).
It's cute, but to stay out of the unprofessional look I'd only put a stud or maybe a small hoop in your cartilage not the heart or love(:
They don't look bad on you but if your working in corporate then ide say no.

Look, I don't really care about piercings, I don't find them attractive or "cool" and I do realize that tattoos and piercings are just a fad that will eventually fade, just like other things have. However, I'm not going to tell you "no, you can't have one", that's not cool. I don't own your body, you don't own mine BUT when you start to look like this, you've gone too far and I'm going to dump you:
linkYes. Anything outside of your standard ear piercing (double piercings, tattoos, body modification, ect.) looks trashy.
As the old saying goes, if you have to ask...
(At 18-24 there is absolutely ZERO reason to do anything that could limit you in life such as trashy ear piercings, tattoos, ect.)It looks okay to me! What is really a turn off and, honestly disgusting, are gauges and ear stretchers. If I was a business owner, I wouldn't want a person with those working at my business.
You're fine! I think people wouldn't mind it very much :)threes not bad I prefer 1. I'm not sure what you men by a cartilage. just no bars or gages is my opinion.
I'd say cute. Trashy earrings I generally associate with the big hoop earrings or if it says "slut" or something on it. I think they look cute :)
No, I like them, but then again I also find lip rings and snake bites to be sexy as hell, so I might be in the minority.
not trashy... but I don't like double/triple pierced.
they're not trashy nor are they cute. just neutral. Guys don't pay attention to your earings. we care about your boobs and your butt.
