Question

i just pierced mine like 20 minutes ago,

just wondering how long i should wait,

what i should/ shouldn't do..

anything useful welcome.

Answer 1

What is wrong with you?!?! It's never safe to pierce yourself, unless your a professional.  

Answer 2

you would probably have to keep it in for about six weeks, i pierced mine too and had to keep it in for that long

Answer 3

I did that way back when. I probably waited a couple months to change it.

Also don't listen to people who call you stupid for doing it yourself. It probably wasn't the BEST idea, but little do those people know that using a piercing gun on cartilage is much more dangerous than using a needle yourself.

Answer 4

i would wait 3 months to a yr depends on the amount of cartilage you have cause if you change it to soon it might get infected

Answer 5

Why would you pierce it yourself? Are you slow?
