What is when can i change my lobe piercing to a hoop?

You can generally change your lobe piercing to a hoop after it's fully healed. Here's a breakdown:

  • Healing Time: Lobe piercings typically take 6-8 weeks to heal. However, everyone heals differently, so it could take longer.

  • Signs of Healing: Before changing to a hoop, look for these signs:

    • No redness, swelling, or tenderness around the piercing.
    • No crust or discharge.
    • The piercing site feels smooth and comfortable.
  • Recommendation: It's always best to consult with your piercer before changing jewelry. They can assess the healing progress and advise you on the best time to switch.

  • Hoop Material: When you do change to a hoop, choose high-quality materials like surgical steel, titanium, or gold to minimize the risk of irritation.
