Your body may just heal really quickly. Piercings that people have had for years can close up in a few hours. Just make sure to always wear something in it. If you cant have it for work or school, get a clear retainer. Glass labret retainers are pretty good. the straight ones with the flat back, not the bent ones.

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.

Well that's up to you, there is no correct or gender defined ear cartilage piercing nor is there any sexual orientation specific cartilage piercing. So what ever side looks good on you is the way to go. Here's the names of some of the piercings you may be interested in. Helix or Vertical Helix, down further on the ear rim it's a Scapha piercing, closer to the front of the face on the ear rim it's a Helix root piercing.


Is okay for there to be a bump under the skin right after you get a industrial piercing?

No. This is due to theprocedure of the piercing, needles can hang up once they pierce the cartilage and in doing so they can pull the pericondrial layer away from the cartilage thus leaving a lump. If the piercer spots this they can apply pressure to the tissue, this allows the pericondrial layer to reattach to the cartilage. New industrial piercings should if at all possible, not be moved for a few hours post piercing to allow the exit points to settle and reattach to the cartilage. Once a lump has formed at an exit point it's hard to get it to reattach to the cartilage if it's left too long.

How long does it take for an ear piercing to close up completely?

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).
