it takes it a day to rot
Six weeks. =)
6-8 wks
Cartilage piercings never close the surface tissue may shrink to obscure the opening but the hole in the cartilage is life long and will never heal up.
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.
Industrials can take up to 6 months to heal due to the reduced circulation in the cartilage.
I'd wait till your lobes are completely or nearly completely healed. Cartilage piercings take longer to heal and if your body is trying to heal your lobes AND cartilage at the same time, it'll take even longer for your cartilage to heal. So, 2-3 mths.
The articular cartilage of a typical long bone is composed of hyaline cartilage. This type of cartilage is smooth and provides a slippery surface for easy joint movement. It also helps cushion and distribute forces during movement.
Hyaline cartilage
It is found at either end of the long bones where it provides a shockabsorbance in the synovial joint capsule.
I believe that rote learning has to take place in one form or another for any kind of learning to happen. So there cannot be any kind of disadvantages of rote learning
cartilage is dense connective tissue and the cartilage of the long bone is articular hyaline cartilage, located on the outer surface of the articulating portion of the long bone.
