Does anyone know how long it takes for a cartilage piercing to heal? Like to the point where I can take out the earring?

This type of piercing can take anywhere from 3-12 months to heal, mostly depending on your own body. Mine personally took about 6 months.

This is a great link for care after the piercing if you do decide to get it. http://www.ehow.com/how_2222405_care-cartilage-piercing.html
Salt soaks worked great for mine - the ocean is just as good!
