Cartilage piercings can remain sore and tender for up to 2 weeks. They take longer to heal than other piercings; the healing time for cartilage piercings is slow. For any swelling and/or discomfort, you can take some ibuprofen; make sure you follow the directions on the bottle.

∙ 15y agoThere actually done seperatly and it takes like a minute, but very painful! 2nd answer- It depends on the piercer ( the better the piercer the shorter the time it takes to be done) and on how still you keep. Mine took about 3minutes and i didnt find it all that painful! It was bareable and nowhere near what i expected it to be from reading all of the hype. If you want it, id say go for it! it looks amazing :)

Industrials can be REALLY cranky so it'll vary a lot. Cartilage piercings take about 2-3 months to go through the initial healing phase. To be fully healed, they take around 8-9 months. Industrials just get hit a lot so they may take a bit longer to heal.

∙ 13y agoYou want to wait about 3-4 weeks before you can switch to a shorter bar. BUt the bar still has to be steel or titanium. No acrylic for a while. It'll take many, many months for an industrial to fully heal. They can be really hard to heal.

Since the late 19th century, industrial engineering has had a long and interesting history.

Because of his work on scientific management at the turn of the 20th century, Frederick Winslow Taylor is frequently referred to as the "father" of industrial engineering. The field extended during The Second Great War when designers assumed an imperative part in further developing efficiency and productivity in wartime enterprises. Since then, industrial engineering has expanded to include operations research, supply chain management, and quality control, making it an essential part of contemporary industrial systems.
