 I've had my cartilidge pierced 5 different times in 5 different places, so I can tell you that you have nothing to worry about! It's just blood, and it's just doing that because you just got it pierced yesterday. The best advice I can give you is try not to do it as hard, you might be turning the earring too much, or you could be pressing to hard. It could also be because you're cleaning it three times a day, it might get irritated, so maybe you should stick to only two times a day, and then whenever you've had it in a little longer clean it more!

 piersings do tend to bleed a little during the first week becouse of the constant movieng of the ring inside the whole which might scrape of a little of the healed tissue, its perfectly normal and theres nothing to wory about.
