Alternative ear piercings...opinions please

I am 26...and old before my time....in my youth I was a bit of a rebel (into punk rock,lots of underage drinking) but a crappy family means I grew up very quickly from 16-21...I work very long hours in a professional career and struggle with being held back as perceived as 'young' even though often times I am up to the task....

This week has been crap ...really crap, for multiple complicated reasons. I am getting my hair done and going for stone retail therapy tomorrow and am very tempted to get an alternative ear piercing (already have normal) through the cartilage in the sort of inner-outer ear bit. I have seen a few people with them over the last few years and really like it and feel like being a rebel/feeling young again. I am being stupid?

I've got lobes, cartilage, tragus and nose piercings, and arm and back (tramp stamp :)) tattoos. I have a pretty responsible (some would say boring) job, and I like my little bits of rebellion!

I am 33 and had a tregus piercing done a couple of years ago. Did take a few months to heal and had an infection in it that caused 1 half of my face to swell but all ok now!

Go for it. Not like a tattoo on your neck or something that can't be taken out when you have had enough of it.
