It is possible to put on a helmet without stressing the piercings - I gauged my ears and put a helmet on the same day. Takes a little bit of maneuvering but once you get it seated on your head it's fine. As for healing time, I've had cartilage piercings take anywhere between a couple months and a year, so just be patient and take good care of it.
Yes, helmets and piercings definitely conflict. I go through it
everytime I put a helmet on. Unfortunately last year I only did
it twice as I was too broke to enjoy any type of riding. I couldn't
afford new plates. I have no idea about gauges as I have none.
My daughter has 1/2" gauges and is my hero. I have done all of
my piercings, including my pecker once. Did I just say that... laughs!
Yes, I tried it. It was the worst thing I ever did. The first time I tried
to pee with the ring in was nothing less than unpleasant.
Got sick of sitting down to pee after a day and got rid of it.
They say all piercings take at least six months to heal. Sally's
beauty supply has many products to make everything easier.
