I got a cartilage piercing five weeks ago but it takes 8-12 weeks to heal.After these 8-12 weeks are up, how long do I have to wait before getting a second cartilage piercing?? I love my cartilage piercing so much that I want another one.

You don’t have to wait at all. You could’ve gotten two on the same day if you wanted. Pretty much the only downside is that the more healing piercings you have, the more of a chance you have for an infection. But honestly, you’d probably be fine to get another one now. If you want to play it safe, you can wait until your 8-12 weeks are up.

You don’t have to wait. You could’ve gotten them on the same day. It’ll add to the tenderness on your ear but it won’t hurt much more. Just tell the person who pierces it that you recently got your other cartilage pierced so that they can be gentle. But you really don’t have to wait.
