Earlobe Piercing: how long to wait until i can change my earring.?
Hey, I got my ear pierced yesterday and I too hate my current earring. Yes, unfortunately, both you and I have to wait an agonising 6 weeks before we can have an earring of our own choice and style. The reason why you cannot change your earring for 6 weeks is because the starter earring (the earring both you and I have in now) is thicker metal so that during the six weeks our skin will re-heal around this thicker earring and when we take our earring out after six weeks our pierced hole will be big enough (width) to accommodate any earring. Other wise if you change your earring before the six weeks is up the hole will shrink to the size of the earring you have put in and when you take that earring out to change it, it will shrink further causing pain to put another earring in as you may have to use force. P.S When I say thickness, I am referring to the piece of metal which is running through to earlobe, not the stud. and I also recommend Silver or Gold earrings. Not because they look better, because they are better quality and your skin won't have an allergic reaction when exposed to these metals. Thank You, Hope this helps + I hope both you and I don't encounter any infections over the next six weeks! -Olly. Oh, and to pass the time I suggest going on the internet or going to the shops and looking for some good earrings which you may want to put in after the six weeks and maybe purchasing them, this give you something to look forward to. (I have just purchased mine from eBay.) Best Wishes!
How long do I have to wait to get my nose re-pierced? It fell out and I really want to get it done again.
This happened to me. You have to wait several weeks.I’ve had my septum pierced twice. A week at the first piercing, the little keeper jewellery fell out, while I was in the shower. I didn’t realise at first. Several hours later, I realised what had happened. I called my piercer who said there was nothing I could do. The piercing hole closes quickly.So I waited several weeks. This allows time for the piercing to properly close and heal. While septum skin tissue is healing, it’s not recommend to have that place re-pierced.After several weeks of waiting, I had my septum re-pierced. This time around, I was more careful. I had the septum piercing stretched up a gauge size. And I’ve happily had my septum piercing since 2014.
Can I pierce my ears twice in the same spot if the first piercing healed?
An infection will complicate matters. It needs to be cleared up before you get that spot re-pierced, or else the infection may get worse or spread. If it's not clearing up on its own, you need to see a doctor. You may need antibiotics. A small infection in a piercing can turn worse quickly and unexpectedly, and if it gets bad, can damage the tissue and leave you with a damaged ear. So definitely take care of that. If it's been infected already for more than two days, and hasn't started to clear up, go to your doctor or an urgent care. Most reputable piercers won't re-pierce an infected spot.Once that's healed, you can get pierced again at any time. The scar tissue shouldn't be too difficult if they were just standard-gauge piercings in the lobe or cartilage. And I know I say this every time, but be certain to go to a licenced piercer. Getting pierced with the gun puts you in much greater danger: more pain, more damage to your ear, and a greater risk of infection. Since you've already had one infected piercing, you're at a higher risk of a new one already.Good luck!
How long do you have to wait to take your stud earrings out after you got your ears pierced?
You want to be extremely cautious. I wouldn't suggest taking them out for at least a month, but keep a pair of earring in all the time, for almost a year. Also be careful that you don't use heavy earrings too early because my sister's earlobe ripped because she was wearing these dangly earrings. Find some cute colorful studs that look awesome. Try something like, http://www.limitedtoo.com/category/Access/Jewelry and try to keep them clean. Have Fun!!
Can I change my earrings after I get them pierced?
As with all piercings, the initial jewellery should be left in until it has healed, unless you find you are allergic to the material its made from and in which case go back to the Piercer and have them change it (Titanium is often a good choice). If you had the piercing done somewhere like a jewellery/accessory shop, chances are they did it with a spring loaded “gun” that has used blunt force to drive a cheap gold plated metal stud through your earlobe, not really the best start for the piercing and neither the prettiest of jewellery either, so little wonder people can't wait to swap them out. This is why you are much better off and looked after by going to a reputable Piercing Studio in the first place. They will usually use a needle, which is a lot less traumatic than a gun and put initial jewellery in that you can live with while it heals. They will also be on hand to give you advice on aftercare or when the piercing has reached the point (is healed enough) to swap the jewellery.Good Luck
Can I put in a clear retainer right after getting my nose pierced?
For the short and sweet answer, scroll down…The only kind of retainer one can use in a new piercing is glass, and even then, it may be too heavy for a non-healed piercing. Initial piercing jewelry has to be in cartilage piercings for around 3–4 months and then one would go see their piercer for the initial change out. After a year the fistula should be pretty settled and one should be able to change out pieces occasionally.My nostril piercings are respectively 12 (right) and 5(left) years old. I also have my septum pierced (5 years old). All of them can and do get irritated if I mess with taking things in and out constantly. I couldn't imagine a 2 week old piercing and the swelling and damage you can cause to your face.TLDR: you need to wait. If you need to take it out for an employer/ school/ etc, take it out and get it redone later when policy changes or you move to a position where it's OK to have a nostril piercing. You are still very much in the healing phases and will cause issues with try switching out jewelry too early and possibly to a material that is not suitable for healing.

Is it ok to change my ear piercing just after a week?
I know that they tell you to wait at least 6 weeks but I don't see why you couldn't. Just make sure that the new earring is not made of a metal that you could be allergic to. If your ear starts to swell or it gets red around the hole then I suggest putting the stud back in until it heals all the way.
