How do I take my cartilage earring off?

Make sure your hands are washed, first and foremost. Dirty hands can potentially cause problems. After that, just simply take the earrings off. Normally, studs that are used for piercing have a lock on them, so the back locks on and cant fall off. If you cant do it yourself, have someone help you. After removing them, make sure you still keep the holes clean as if the jewelry was still in them. Even though the jewelry is gone, they still need to be clean because they can still get infected.
