Well it depends on how long the piercing has been in place. If it's new and you had a change of heart, the piercing will close up within a few days of the jewellery being removed. However the hole in the cartilage itself will remain open for several months. Cartilage doesnt heal like skin and once it's pierced or damages it can take and extreamely long time to heal.

∙ 14y agothe hole will grow skin into it and it will look just like new. the cartelage does not regrow but skin replaces it. I had to take mine out due to an infection and it grew over fine and you cant see it at all. when you squeeze it you can still feel the hole in the cartelage to
It depends on where it is pierced. The lobes can take about 3 months to completely close up, where your cartilage can take 6 months to even a year to completely close up. It also depends on how long you have had the piercing. A piercing that you've had for years can take years to close (in my personal experience).
It depends on how fast your body heals, and how long you have had the piercing. The longer you have had the piercing, the longer it will take to close. This is true for all piercings.
Honestly, I have had my labret piercing for about 7 months now and I took it out for about 4 hours for a class. At the end when I tried to put the piercing back in it hurt. The hole were the piercing was seemed to have tightened up. It took a few hours for my piercing to feel like it usually does. So I would guess that a labret piercing would close up kinda fast
after a couple of monthes but i think you still have a small scar afterward
You can sleep with your cartilage piercing out after the ear is completely healed up. It takes about two months for the ear to completely heal.
It'll probably close up in less than an hour.
There is no such piercing as a "cartridge piercing." There is, however, a cartilage piercing and they can be taken out. After you get your cartilage pierced, you need to wait 6 to 8 weeks for it to heal completely. If you decide to take it out, it will close up automatically in just a few weeks.
you may NEVER take it out
a cartalige piercing hurts ALOT more because your piercing a bone
Its different for everyone. Some people can have piercings for years and have them close up in a few hours. But then again, yours may not close that quickly. If you have to take them out for work then just wear clear retainers in them.
Nope. It will only close up if you have an infection
No way to speed that up really. Keep it dry and disinfected and out of the sun until it's healed.
