Good morning @MichelleRA
Welcome to our Versus Arthritis forum, here you will find our members are friendly, helpful and empathic. They will answer your questions/queries as they have found they have experienced them as related to their own condition.
You are wondering if getting the cartilage of your ear pierced will trigger a flare up of your RA. Below is a link to Versus Arthritis's information on RA.
Rheumatoid arthritis | Causes, symptoms, treatments (versusarthritis.org)
Hopefully one of our members will have had this type of piercing and therefore will be able to give you the information you are looking for.
I look forward to reading your future posts and reading how you coped with this piercing. Take care
Best wishes
