I would suggest that you wait until the end of your swim season and do it the day that season ends. I swim and got mine done in the beginning of my season, for the rest of it I could not wear my cap over that ear.

I just got my upper cartilage pierced. How long should I wait until i take out my post and put in a ring or hoop. I have to wait 8 weeks until i change posts but do i have to wait longer for a ring?
Yes, you have to wait 8 weeks before you do anything with it other than cleaning it. The reasoning behind it is simple: your skin and the cartilage need to heal. Taking the post in and out right now can (and often does) introduce infection. Putting in a ring while the pierced site is still tender invites tearing as the ring catches on your hair or on someone's finger. I'm sure those who pierced it explained all this to you already. Listen to them.

Before you get anything else pierced, you should wait until your surgery has completely healed. You do not want to do anything that could get it infected.

It shouldn't be a problem. However, I would wait until it doesn't hurt to sleep on your right side. New cartilage piercings can be a pain.

No, cartilage is only contained up until the bronchi. The bronchioles and onward do not contain any cartilage rings, only smooth muscle.
If I have a bump on the back of your cartilage piercing and take out the stud will the bump disappear?
When I went back to my piercing place where I got my cartilage pierced, they told me the lump was due to me sleeping on the pierced ear. They told me from now on try not to sleep on that ear as the lump is due to the pressure of your earring pushing up against the skin. To get rid of a cartilage piercing bump: 1) All you have to do is buy some aspirin and then use one tablet and crush it (into eg a bowl). 2) Then add a tiny bit of cold water. 3) Then mix it together and it should turn into a sort of paiste. 4) Then apply this onto the cartilage bump, using a cotton bud or something. (but try not to get it on any other part of your skin). 5) Keep doing this once a day everyday until the bump dissapears. Mine took me three days to go.
Do u think a 13 year old should get her tung nose and belly button pierced?
Personally...No! Honestly i think you should wait a while i hear that there are many things that could happen if you get your tongue peirced! you should wait a few years before you do that! but you can atleast wait until your 15 to get your belly button pierced.
I have to get braces next year but I want to get my tongue pierced . Should I?
You should always wait until after your braces are off to get any lip piercings because it does affect it and it is easier for them to get caught and injure yourself
