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.

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.

It's important to ensure that the earring has a smooth finish to prevent irritation during healing.

It's generally recommended to wait at least 6-8 weeks before changing a cartilage piercing to allow sufficient healing time.

If you're unsure, it's best to consult with a professional piercer.

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.
How much is a scaffold piercing and what side should i get it on Oh and where can i get one?
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. Ask around to get the names and then do research to pick the best shop. Don't get it gunned. It could shatter your cartilage and cause infection etc.
Is iodized salt bad to soak a new piercing in Nipple piercing?
Soaking a new nipple piercing in iodized salt is not recommended. While salt can help with healing, iodized salt may contain additives that can irritate the skin and disrupt the healing process. Instead, it's better to use non-iodized sea salt or a saline solution specifically designed for piercings, as these are gentler and less likely to cause irritation. Always follow aftercare instructions provided by your piercer for the best healing outcome.
Can you eat seafood after belly piercing?
