In reality, it takes significant force to tear cartilage. However, if the conditions are right, the tear can appear quite easily. In some cases, just a few pounds of force in the right direction can cause damage.
Well the only way to tear cartilage is to do just that tear it by applying excessive force to the cartilage to the point it actually tears like a sheet of paper, this would be incredibly painful and very bloody, unless you have yanked on jewellery to the point it tears the cartilage just short of tearing out completely.
To "shatter" cartilage means to rip or tear it.

The breaking of a bone is called a fracture, while the breaking of cartilage is referred to as a cartilage injury or tear. Fractures occur when a bone is cracked or broken due to factors such as trauma or stress. Cartilage injuries can happen when the cartilage tissue in joints or other body parts is damaged or torn, often resulting from sports injuries or wear and tear over time.
Nose piercings generally hurt regardless of the thickness of the cartilage, due to the fact the tear ducts are connected to the nose too. But it may take a bit longer, than someone who has thin cartilage, since the piercer has to push through a few more layers.
