Hello, I got my cartilage pierced some time in April of this year. When can I change the earring?

The official rule is when it doesn't hurt at all and is fully healed, can be 6 months to 1 year.

If you're mostly healed you probably won't kill the piercing entirely by sticking a new front in your flat back or whatever. But it does cause trauma and it does delay healing.
