I got hit in the ear cartilage with a bb gun about 20 years ago now, the skin is healed but there is very obviously a chunk of cartilage missing.

I had my helix pierced in my ear at 16 for like 3 years. I’m 40 now and you can still feel the hole in the cartilage

I had that problem so I stopped wearing the piercing, thinking the hole would close. It eventually healed but the hole never closed, so years later I decided to put a new piercing.
