People with ROOK and tragus piercings...?

Question

how long did you leave your original jewelry in? my piercer told me 4-6 MONTHS! but i really dont like the jewelry that he put in because its really long. and i want to get my tragus pierced and just curious as to how long i have to keep that in? thanks!

ps-i DONT CARE if you think those piercings are gross. and im not asking if they hurt or not. idc.

Answer 1

They're cartilage piercings, which can take upwards of a year to heal, so 6 months should be the minimum amount of time you let pass before changing the jewelry.

An infected ear is going to look a lot worse than whatever jewelry is in there now.

Answer 2

i got my rook and tragus done at the same time about....2 months or so ago, and i still have the original jewelry in, i don't plain on changing them, i can feel that they're not healed properly yet, i think another couple of months and they will be fully healed.

with my tragus i got a CBR and my piercer told me to come back in 8 weeks to change the jewelry.

Answer 3

i got both of my tragus done today and my body piercer told me 4 months then i can change it if i want to but im not going to cause i like the jewelry that she pierced it with but the healing time is 6 month to a yr to fully heal. i love my tragus i plan on getting more like both rooks, both daith, right cartilage, and left top ear and ect

if you change it to early it might get infected and thats not a fun thing to have is an infected rook or tragus cause they get really sore and you can't even touch them or move them it hurts so bad!  

Answer 4

ok well i have both done

i left my original ring in my tragus for about 2 months

and i still have my original rook in...its only been about 2 months but im going back to the place to get it changed in a couple days

but my piercer said that i could go back to them and they would change it for me in a month
