Ear Piercing Question

[ThomasG 5,000+ posts]

How long did you leave them in before you changed them out? The lady told me 6 weeks but I dont want to leave these ones in for six weeks. I had the choice between diamonds and some gay little studs, and I dont really like either but went with the diamonds.

So how many of you took them out early without them closing up? How long did you leave them in for?

Anyone take them out early and have them close up?

Haha I called the local tattoo shop they wanted 44 + what the jewelery costs. **** THAT!! Walmart 12.97 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif

They wont close up right away.... hell i changed mine when i did it in the first day or two...its not like they close up instantly. Now mine dont close up at all i leave mine out for weeks at a time but i also had mine worked up to 8 gauge in both ears

i took mine out in 3 weeks and switched to other earings. It didn't close up on me but make sure you do it within a day.

just don't take them out and leave them out overnight before you find new ones. if they're fresh they could close overnight.

I had to take mine out for awhile. The ones I left in for the six weeks stayed open, the ones I took out in like 3-4 weeks closed up. I had the diamonds at first but they kept getten caught on stuff, so I swappedem out for the regular round studs. When I went to put them back in I just pushed the round stud through my ear instead of getting the ones that closed punched again.

Done that before... after leaving it out for maybe 6 months or so. I'm going on 17 or 18 years since my first, I think. Now they never leave my ears, but that's gonna change soon, when I get a new job. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

As long as you don't leave em out, and put the new ones in right away, you can take em out whenever....

If its your lobes than yes you can swap them out right away. If it is the cartilage than I would wait at least two months.

N/m just saw you said walmart did it. You can change them out at any time. If it closes just push it back through.

I leave mine out for months at a time now and they never close up, I've had them pierced for about 12 years. Out of the 5 or 6 different times i've had them pierced or re-pierced Only once I took them out early and switched to a hoop. no problems.

Cool Im going to buy some new ones tomorrow.

And while I was waiting to get mine done a little girl was getting hers pierced it was so funny. Ahh just the worried *** look on her face. And what was even more hysterical is some other little kid next to her plugged her ears when she saw the lady pull the gun out to do the piercing. Like it was going to be loud or something, lol little kids crack me up.
