How long does it take for the swelling to go down on a dimple piercing?
For the basic oral piercings, ie. lip piercing, monroe, labret etc etc; the swelling begins to go down after a few days. Since the cartilage for a dimple piercing is much thicker than that of a lip piercing, the swelling will take a little bit longer to go down. Usually 3-10 days before the swelling begins to go down, depending on how much you play with the jewelery, irritate the piercing, and even how you clean it can all alter the amount of time your piercing is swollen for!
Just got the skin right where the lobe turns into the cartilage pierced ears have always rejected cartilage piercing maybe they snipped a piece of cartilage sightly red and a little swollen?
If the piercing was done with a piercing gun then that should answer the question.
Can you shatter your cartilage when you get a new piercing?
Because the studs used in ear piercing guns are not nearly as sharp as a piercing needle the impact of these in ear cartilage can and usually does cause tiny "micro-cracks" to radiate out in all directions from the opening. This can cause an abnormal amount of swelling which can completely engulf the earring and then you have a real problem. It will usually also mean delayed healing or extended healing time, much more pain & discomfort for you, and in some cases the swelling never goes away. A piercing needle slides through the cartilage with little trauma making a perfectly round hole with no jagged edges or cracks. Having your cartilage piercing done with a needle will mean much less discomfort and faster healing time.
Is bleeding during cartilage piercing normal?
A little bleeding is to be expected with cartilage piercings, the incision in the cartilage needs to be larger than the jewellery gauge going into the piercing, this is to allow the skin to heal between the jewellery and the cartilage. Excessive bleeding is an indication your piercer didn't candle the cartilage before doing the piercing to see where the veins are located on both sides of the cartilage.
Does nose or cartilage piercing hurt more?
just got my nose re-pierced yesterday, and i've had my cartilage done for about a year now. For me, the pain level is about the same. The piercing itself didn't actually hurt much at all for either, its just sore for a while after you get it done. I think my cartilage was worse, but not by that much. I don't think either piercing is that painful, but they do really look good. I just have a regular one hole cartilage piercing, but I hope I could help a little. :)

Will getting a mouth piercing when you are 14 years old hurt?
Any piercing hurts to some extent and being 14 doesn't give you superpowers to be immune to the pain of any piercing let alone an oral piercing. In body piercing you need to learn that if you want the piercing you will get it regardless of any discomfort you may feel. Bottom line if you want the piercing you need to be prepared to go through the piercing the swelling and the aftercare to heal the piercing. If you feel that is too much for you to deal, with then find something else to do, but don't get a piercing. It takes commitment and effort to have a great piercing, if you really want it then a little discomfort and swelling shouldn't be an issue.
