I am going to centre parks at the beginning on march so I will be in and out of the pool a lot! If I get my upper ear cartilage pierced, would I be able to go swimming a lot? Thanks for your help everyone in advance!

I wouldn't go swimming in a public pool, just getting a piercing, until it is completely healed. Otherwise you are open for infection.

How long does it take to heal?

Depends on how well you keep it clean and don't fool around with it. Everyone is different. I would say it should be completely healed in a month.

Good because I'm going in more than a month and I clean in 2 or 3 times a day and I am really careful with it, thank you!
