Cartilage for me isn't so much more painful as it just takes longer to heal and can be pissy along the way. There's also a weird crunch/popping noise. Make sure you go to a good, experienced piercer and I also reccomend using a straight barbell as initial jewerly if you're getting a helix since sometimes the curve of a ring can irritate it during healing. Also NEVER use a gun at the mall for any piercing those are evil >.<

Trust me, when I had my lobe done I learned a few things from the very smart lady who did it. I had had the same lobe pierced when I was nine by a dumb lady at the mall armed with a gun and she fucked it up royally. The smart lady used a straight needle which hurt less and told me to use mild soap and warm water to clean it instead of that crappy cleaner stuff. When I get more I'll be going back to the smart lady.
