CHANGING YOUR JEWELRY: EAR PIERCINGS

WHEN CAN I CHANGE MY EARRINGS?

We know you’re eager to change your earrings, but it’s important to be patient. Your piercer will let you know how long healing typically takes, but in the meantime, here’s what to keep in mind:

• Hypoallergenic metals like 14K gold or titanium are ideal.
• Look for styles that are easy to change and clean like studs or hoops.
• Everyone heals at their own rate, so focus on consistent aftercare.
• Stop by a Banter location in person to get expert advice on your healing.

CHOOSING JEWELRY

The location of your piercing can affect the type of jewelry that works for you in terms of both comfort and style. For example, some earrings for cartilage piercings come with a flat back for a cleaner look than the traditional butterfly backing. A flat back is also less likely to get caught on your clothing, making them a safer choice for sensitive piercings in every area of the ear.

Try looking at pictures of other people with the same piercing to get ideas for what type of jewelry looks best. You might even get inspired to add another piercing to stack up your look—and the piercing pros at Banter would be happy to help make it happen!
