It depends. Has the piercing "tightened" around the ring, or has the skin grown over the piercing itself?
Piercings often will grow tighter as they heal, this does not mean you should force your jewelry around to "loosen it up". Just let it heal and over time your body will accommodate the foreign piece of metal.
If it's totally embedded and the jewelry is UNDER the skin, go to a doctor. Now. Not tomorrow. Right now. It must be removed by a medical professional immediately.

Six weeks. =)
6 weeks for lobe. 12 weeks for cartilage. That's if done with a hollow needle. With a gun, even longer.
I just had my upper cartilage pierced and on the 4th week i took it out i just got a good grip on the back of the earring then i got a good grip on the front of the earring and i just pull hard.
It depends what earring you pick. Mines cost 45$
The barbell earring that goes on the upper part of your cartilage is called an "industrial" piercing, but some people also call it a "scaffold" piercing.
To open a ball hoop cartilage earring, gently grasp the ball on one end and twist it while pulling it away from the hoop. This will create a small gap in the hoop, allowing you to remove or insert it into your cartilage piercing. Be careful not to apply excessive force to avoid damaging the earring. Once it's open, you can easily put it in or take it out.
it varies from person to person. normally anywhere between 6 weeks - 4 months. If you just want to change the earring, i took mine out after 2 weeks and put another in with no troubles.
The sensation is a bit more intense because you are getting two piercings in one sitting and it's done with a needle not a gun. so it should be not too bad about the same as the cartilage piercing.
As long you make sure the earring that you're putting in your ear is disinfected to make it less likely that you will get an infection
For cartilage piercings, it's best to use earrings made of materials that are hypoallergenic and comfortable, such as titanium, surgical stainless steel, or gold. Common styles include hoops, studs, or barbells, with the choice often depending on personal preference and the specific location of the piercing. It's important to ensure that the earring has a smooth finish to prevent irritation during healing.
