How long to wait after getting your ear lobes pierced to get your cartilage pierced?

I'd wait till your lobes are completely or nearly completely healed. Cartilage piercings take longer to heal and if your body is trying to heal your lobes AND cartilage at the same time, it'll take even longer for your cartilage to heal. So, 2-3 mths.

Cartilage pierced 5 weeks agothe location of it bothers me the piercer didnt put it in the helix part of my ear but rather deeper in the cartilage. If i take it out will it heal totally?

Well you can remove it and the tissue portion of the piercing will heal however the incised cartilage will not heal. Cartilage doesn't heal like other areas of the body, it will develope a lump as it attempts to close and heal and this could last for weeks to months depending on the area. As for the duration of time you have had the piercing that's what makes the healing hard to judge. See in hospitals I.V.'s are relocated after 24 to 48 hours so that the body doesn't try to heal around the I.V. cath. Any time you exceed 48 hours your body will start to heal the piercing by forming a tissue tube around the jewellery. So I would guess if you remove the jewellery and leave it out all together it may heal but it will take a considerable period of time because it's cartilage and there is not the blood circulation in that area to support a shorter healing time. That's why cartilage piercings take so long to heal in the first place. Good luck.
