| WHEN CAN I CHANGE OR REMOVE THE JEWELRY? |
| Your piercing will not be completely healed
for several years. Even after the piercing has healed,
reinsertion can be difficult and sometimes impossible.
Jewelry should not be changed during the initial healing
period, usually about 6-10 months. Be sure to always wear
appropriate jewelry in your piercings, even when fully
healed. Jewelry designed just for earlobes is never appropriate,
and can damage your piercing.
If you must remove the jewelry temporarily, call your
piercer, or use an insertion taper lubricated with a
little antibiotic ointment to insert a piece of uncolored
monofilament nylon. Weed-eater or fishing line work
well. 160 lb test is equivalent to 14-12 gauge. This
will retain the piercing until you can reinsert the
jewelry. It's no problem to permanently remove the jewelry.
In most cases, only a small indentation will remain.
We encourage you to call your piercer. S/he will be
happy to assist you.
