Without the piercing stud or jewelry, a new ear piercing may close too fast, either overnight or after a few days. This isn’t too long, and we recommend that you wait for the piercing to heal fully. However, for a cartilage piercing, for example, piercing at the inner, upper, or at the conch would take longer to heal.
Can I re pierce my cartilage in the same spot?
