This earring is soo cute and fit perfectly in the cartilage. However I realize I have sensitive ears and this kept making my ear puss up. I'm not sure if it's the ball on the back or the whole thing. I think it's the backing because that's where my skin goes raw (I know, super gross). If I can replace the backing, then I can salvage it. If you don't have sensitive ears, this product should be all good for you
