Six to eight weeks or longer, cartilage is the slowest of all piercing to heal due to the lack of blood circulation in that area. So you need to be patient with the piercing and keep it clean other than that it's a matter of time.

How long will it take for lip piercing to heal after being removed?

How long does it take for someone to pierce your cartilage?

For the actual piercing, about a second. Needles go through pretty quickly. Of course, they'll have to mark the spot where you want it, and maybe put on clamps. Cartilage piercings don't take long to mark out compared to daiths or rooks. The jewelery switch doesn't take long either.


Can you get your cartilage pierced at walmart in claremont nh?

Well if they do ear piercing then they may be dumb enough to pierce the cartilage too. Listen you need to understand what you are not being told by these places when you want a piercing. They are not telling you they have no health inspection to do any form of ear piercing, nor do they have any form of business license to do ear piercing. You pay your money and really take your chances, seriously. Every year hospital emergency rooms and doctor's clinics see more piercing gun mistakes, piercings done incorrectly, with unclean materials, incorrect aftercare routines I could go on. If you want ear cartilage piercings done correctly and professionally then go to any local body piercing studio and talk to a body piercer. They are licensed and inspected to provide the service in a safe and professional manner and will help you if your run in to trouble.


Can you wear a leotard with a belly button piercing after two months of having it done?

Perhaps, depending on how you heal and what precautions you take. If you are in doubt if you are ready, you could wear a gauze bandage over the area to minimize rubbing. Generally, 6-8 weeks is sufficient for the healing of a piercing.

How long does it take to heal a cartilage piercing?

It depends on your body's ability to heal itself, and how well you take care of the piercing. On average I'd say between two to three months initially, but it can take up to a year to heal completely. Two months is the time it took for mine to "appear" healed, as in, the time when it stopped crusting and was safe to swap out the jewelry. I've heard of that phase being reached as early as three weeks though, so take plenty of vitamin C, keep up the sea salt rinses and enjoy your fab new piercing!

Cartilage pierced 5 weeks agothe location of it bothers me the piercer didnt put it in the helix part of my ear but rather deeper in the cartilage. If i take it out will it heal totally?

Well you can remove it and the tissue portion of the piercing will heal however the incised cartilage will not heal. Cartilage doesn't heal like other areas of the body, it will develope a lump as it attempts to close and heal and this could last for weeks to months depending on the area. As for the duration of time you have had the piercing that's what makes the healing hard to judge. See in hospitals I.V.'s are relocated after 24 to 48 hours so that the body doesn't try to heal around the I.V. cath. Any time you exceed 48 hours your body will start to heal the piercing by forming a tissue tube around the jewellery. So I would guess if you remove the jewellery and leave it out all together it may heal but it will take a considerable period of time because it's cartilage and there is not the blood circulation in that area to support a shorter healing time. That's why cartilage piercings take so long to heal in the first place. Good luck.
