Titanium Captive Hoop
316L Surgical Steel 18g CBRs - Can I use them in 7 week old lobe piercing?
Hello,
I got my earlobes pierced 7 weeks ago with a piercing gun...
(I know, I know! In the future I will go to a REAL studio, despite the fact I didn't get an infection this time.)
I wanted to know if it is okay to use these "316L Surgical Steel, 18 Gauge, Captive Bead Rings" in them RIGHT NOW.
I have heard a lot of horror stories about various metals and healing times, so I thought it was best to ask someone their opinion.
----
I'm currently wearing small, gold, 20g hoops (standard earring jewelry). I believe my piercing studs were "17g" because they are only slightly smaller than these new CBRs.
I am prepared to wait, but I really want to wear those more masculine CBRs. (<_<)
[I eventually want to stretch my lobes up to 14g or 12g...]
Thank you, everyone.
----
PS: I know that surgical steel is not the best metal, but I plan to get some Titanium CBRs in the near future (a month or so).
316l is what most piercers use. most have now problems with it.
make sure the hoops are clean. sterile would be best. use a good amount of lube. surgilube or plain old ky jelly (a new tube).
