i was forced to take the bar out for school. the studs are far smaller than the bar, but if i push, i can get the bar through my earlobe piercing with no pain, so will I be able to get it through my scaffolding in the christmas holidays?I had it done for 1 week and 2 days before i had to take it out.It's 5 days til the holidays, and i've had the studs in a week.
Leave the studs in till it fully heals in my opinion. Cartillage piercings take along time to heal - up to 18 months infact .Unill the piercing is fully healed, it shouldn't be messed around with too much ,and it's usually encouraged not to change the jewerly. I'd say go to your piercer, explain the situation. Try getting seperate , small barbells at the same gauge as your scaffold bar - if you just put in standard studs, over time your piercings will shrink in size - so it will be harded to put the scaffold bar back in when it's fully healed.
Did it hurt? You should be able to get the bar back thru, I know I personally make the hole in my helix bigger than the earring I usually wear in it. Its tender for a few days then its fine.
