I always say that and I'm not a liar... except my collar bone. That tattoo was a poor choice. I like it, I like what it says, I like where it is, but FUCK ME that hurt. I napped through the rest of my ink. But then I have a freaky pain tolerance level. I've had to have people inform me I have broken a bone because I didn't notice.

Spoke too soon. My dentist grabbed my ear as he came into the room.

You got me somewhat confused there, the site says 8-16 weeks for both Industrial and Scaffold (and Weaving too, for that matter). If that's not accurate, what are healing times I can expect?

To be fair, he wasn't far off. Mouth, ear ... It's all so ... Difficult to tell apart.

Cartilage can tale a very long time to heal, especially problematic piercings such as industrials. About 3 - 6 months on average for cartilage if I recall correctly. It can take up to a year for problem piercings though. Keep in mind that this doesn't mean it's going to be sore and all that for the entire time (or shouldn't be at least), the full healing period also covers the cartilage or flesh growing a full and proper fistula (aka skin tunnel) in the wound. Things like lips, lobes, tongue and other soft fleshy bits take a lot less time to heal, generally speaking. Surface piercings are generally considered to be semi-permanent. They may last a few weeks if you don't heal them well, or they may last years. But the expectation is that they will pretty much always reject at some point.
Piercings tend to take a lot of time and babying to heal up proper, but they're well worth it in the end.
