    Getting my cartilage pierced!
    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.

    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!
