    Good morning @MichelleRA

    Welcome to our Versus Arthritis forum, here you will find our members are friendly, helpful and empathic. They will answer your questions/queries as they have found they have experienced them as related to their own condition.

    You are wondering if getting the cartilage of your ear pierced will trigger a flare up of your RA. Below is a link to Versus Arthritis's information on RA.

    Hopefully one of our members will have had this type of piercing and therefore will be able to give you the information you are looking for.

    I look forward to reading your future posts and reading how you coped with this piercing. Take care

    Best wishes

    ChrisK
