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.

How long does it take for a cartilage piercing to heal?
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.
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.
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.
