How long does it take a cartilage ear piercing to close up after 2 months of being pierced?

Very quickly. You're not even meant to change the jewellery until 3 months, so it wont be healed properly yet. As it is cartilage and there is no blood, when you take the stud out the hole will start to close immediately and it may hurt to get the stud in after a few minutes, so it would probably only take about a week or so?

Is a helix piercing the same as a cartilage piercing?
A helix piercing is a type of cartilage piercing but its the specific name for when you get the top of your cartilage pierced. I'll try to attach a picture of what a helix piercing tends to look like. A cartilage piercing is more of a general term that could refer to any of the many cartilaginous areas of your ear being pierced.
After several months of having the upper ear cartilage pierced it still hurts. Is there supposed to be a small dent where the stud has been?
Pain and discomfort are part and parcel of getting the cartilage pierced with a piercing gun. The piercing gun user knows that they are not allowed to pierce ear cartilage with a piercing gun. Properly done cartilage piercing done by a professional body piercer would have been healed by now. The swelling is due to the stud backing being too close to the skin and not allowing the piercing to drain or breath properly.
What types of food can't you eat after getting cartilage pierced?
Eating and ear cartilage have no relation to each other, besides being on the same head, food has nothing to do with the cartilage piercing.
Swollen Cartilage after being pierced for 4 months.?
Got my cartilage pierced 4 months ago. I had a keloid, so I switched from the surgical steel that they pierced it with, to gold. It's a hoop. Red and swollen. Keloid is gone and there is no puss. Is it still healing and just irritated? Or could the hoop be too tight?

How long does it take for a piercing to close just after getting a piercing?
a few days or just overnight it actually really depends on the piercing. A lip or tongue piercing will begin to close almost immediately if it was pierced very recently(within a month-ish of being pierced) However everyone is different but the mouth is known to be the quickest healing of the human body. Ear lobes Vs ear cartilage piercing will differ as well. A lobe will heal faster than cartilage because cartilage takes longer to develop. So it really depends on your body type and what type of piercing.
Should I get my cartilage pierced if I am an athlete?
You can get the cartilage pierced regardless of your being an athlete or not. It is your choice. I personally do not understand why people pierce themselves.
I have had my cartilidge pierced for 10 months and I still can't change my earring without getting infected why?
It is a good chance this is a piercing gun piercing and that is why you always have grief with it, it isn't pierced correctly and thus always reopens when you change the jewellery. I could go into detailed explanations but it come down to the cartilage tissue not being incised enough to allow for proper healing. Go see a professional body piercer and get it fixed.
I have had my cartilage pierced for just over two weeks now and I'm going to a gig in two days will it be all right to take out for a few hours to avoid my ear being torn in two?
No that is not cool for a new piercing just stay out of harms way and protect your piercing.
Can you get your rook re pierced after it was rejected?
It's not common for a properly done Rook piercing to reject. Due to this piercing being done in deep cartilage, the piercing should not reject (the cartilage won't let it reject). More often that not the problem is the method used to look after the piercing or the solutions used to heal the piercing (generally too much and not properly rinsed out). I would suggest you seek the expert advice of your local professional body piercer. They would need to see what you have going on with the piercing location. If there is enough tissue that isn't damaged they should be able to repierce the area.
How fast does a cartilage piercing close up?
Well it depends on how long the piercing has been in place. If it's new and you had a change of heart, the piercing will close up within a few days of the jewellery being removed. However the hole in the cartilage itself will remain open for several months. Cartilage doesnt heal like skin and once it's pierced or damages it can take and extreamely long time to heal.
How long do you need to keep your tragus piercing in before you can change it?
A Tragus piercing, being a deep cartilage piercing should be left in for a period of 3~9 months to allow the piercing to properly season and toughen. As with any piercing they are never considered fully healed until they are a full year old. So the longer you can leave it alone without changing the jewellery the better it is for the piercing.
