Take a cartilage piercing out like any other ear piercing, get a grip of one hand on the jewel part of the earring and the other hand on the backing and slowly pull hand #1 out pushing away from the face. While this is occurring, take hand #2 and push the backing in a twisty motion away from the face. Do NOT take out a cartilage piercing if not in for 1 full year to 1.5 years in the risk of infection. If already infected, contact your physician and have him/her remove it. Do not do so yourself! :) good luck!

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!
How do you remove the ball from a cartilage piercing using a stud?
To remove the ball from a cartilage piercing stud, you can usually twist the ball in a counterclockwise direction until it loosens and comes off. If it's too tight, gently grip the ball with a pair of clean, sterile tweezers to give you extra leverage for twisting. Be careful not to apply too much force to avoid hurting yourself or causing irritation to the piercing.
How do they peirce the cartilage on a ear?
Professional piercers use a sterile hollow needle to create a hole through the cartilage in the ear. The needle is pushed through the cartilage in one swift motion to minimize discomfort and reduce trauma to the tissue. Proper aftercare is crucial to prevent infection and promote healing.
How long does it take to get to a gauge 10 earlobe piercing?
It can take several months to a year for an earlobe piercing to reach gauge 10, depending on the healing process and individual's body. It is important to stretch the piercing slowly and safely to minimize the risk of damage or infection.
How long does it take for an ear piercing not to close up completely?
It can vary from person to person, but generally, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months for an ear piercing to fully close up. Keeping an earring in the piercing regularly can help prevent it from closing up quickly.
