You can change your earrings after the piercing has healed, which varies depending on the location of the piercing.
Ear Lobe Piercings
- For ear lobe piercings, you should wait at least 6 weeks before changing your earrings.
Cartilage Piercings
- Cartilage piercings, such as Tragus, Upper and Lower Conch, or Daith piercings, take longer to heal, typically 3 to 6 months.
- Some cartilage piercings, like Helix and Navel piercings, can even take up to a year to fully heal.
General Guidelines
| Piercing Location | Healing Time |
|---|---|
| Ear Lobes | At least 6 weeks |
| Cartilage (Tragus, Upper and Lower Conch, or Daith) | 3-6 months |
| Cartilage (Helix and Navel) | Up to a year |
It's crucial to ensure your piercing is fully healed before changing jewelry to avoid infection or complications. If you are unsure, consult with a professional piercer.
