Do you have to wear stud earrings when first get your ears pierced?

It is generally recommended to wear stud earrings when you first get your ears pierced, as they are the safest and most comfortable option for new piercings. Stud earrings help to keep the piercing site clean and free from debris, and they also help to prevent the piercing from becoming irritated or infected. Additionally, stud earrings are less likely to catch on clothing or other objects and cause accidental snagging.

While some people may opt for other types of earrings such as hoops or dangly earrings after their piercings have healed completely, it is important to wait until the piercings have had sufficient time to heal before changing the earrings. This usually takes around 6 to 8 weeks, but can vary from person to person. Changing the earrings too soon can increase the risk of infection and other complications.

Therefore, it is generally advisable to wear stud earrings for the first few weeks after getting your ears pierced, until the piercings have completely healed. This will help to ensure the safety and comfort of your new piercings.
