Scientificly how long do cartilage piercing take to heal?
Done properly a cartilage piercing will be lightly healed in about 4~6 weeks. When I say done properly, I mean done by a professional body piercer using a needle process piercing, not a piercing gun piercing. Piercing guns don't cut the tissue they in fact tear the tissue, this can prolong healing time as well as cause serious healing issues.
How long after you get your cartilage pierced can you tack is out?
Any time you want if you have decided you don't want it, keep in mind that the tissue will take a couple of days to close and several weeks to heal but the actual cartilage is permanently pierced and will not heal.
How do they peirce the cartilage on a ear?
The best way to pierce ear cartilage (or any cartilage) is with a needle. Using a piercing gun (a machine which fires a sharpened stud through tissue) is generally a bad idea as they tend to crack the surrounding cartilage because guns were not designed to pierce cartilage. This cracking results in a longer healing time, more pain, and can cause wonky piercings and increase your chance of keloids (bumps of scar tissue around the piercing). So, with a needle the procedure is simple. A straight, bevelled, medical grade needle, usually 14 or 16 gauge is pushed through the ear. The jewellery then slides through afterwards. Easy.

How can you numb your tongue before piercing?
If you are using the correct type of piercing equipment, you should not have to numb your tongue at all. Numbing the area before piercing could affect the healing process, and leave more opportunity to become infected. It is best to get a piercing done professionally, but if you are piercing at home, be sure to use the right sterile needles and tools. There should be little to no pain, making numbing unnecessary.

Depends on where you live but I'd say from $30-$50. Get it on whichever side you want. for healing, its better to get it on the side that you don't sleep on. Get one at a professional piercing shop.

What if your belly button piercing smells?
It is normal for a piercing to smell. What is happening is that your piercing is healing from the inside out, and you are just smelling the normal discharge that is associated with it. Your best bet is to talk to a piercer to confirm if there is any infections or not. Keep in mind that it is best to leave your piercing alone, and if you do touch it, make sure your hands are clean. This helps reduce the risk of infection.
