if it's been only 3 weeks you shouldn't change it. Wait a few more weeks, it might look healed but when I got mine done I changed it 4 weeks later because I thought it was healed and it looked fine but when I tried changing it again the ring was stuck and when I finally got it out it started pouring out blood and stuff.

I wouldn't risk it, you wouldn't want to end up with an infection and not be able to wear the ring he gave you at all. Wait at least a few more weeks before you change it, and keep it clean.

I wouldn't risk it. The earliest I would take it out is 6 weeks. If you take it out too early you might get an infection.

when i got mine done, i was really anxious to change it too. i did after about 2 or three weeks, i didnt bother to wait the whole 8 weeks cause i felt it was fine. after i changed it, nothing happened, it didnt get infected or anything but it matters how much you clean it and how well you take care of it. hope i helped.

Just because everyone else is doing it, you shouldn't. Do what's healthy. Just in case, wait for another 5 weeks and then put it on. If your boyfriend asks, just say that you couldn't put it on yet. He should understand.

well coming form a person who has 11 holes in her ears all done by herself i would say go ahead and change it. i've done all of my piercings and i always change them. as long as it isn't infected and you make sure that the ring is clean and the hole is clean there should be nothing wrong with changing it. but remember if you do get an infection for any reason take it out right away

i got my belly button peirced and asked the same question to the guy who did it and he said that the ring that they put in there was designed for the healing process.. i wouldn't change it at all for two months or else it WON'T heal right.. and most likely will get infected.. word of warning.. i hope you don't listen to those other people...

yes, wait 2 months so that way you know for sure it is healed and wont get infected as easily.

no its not too early. i got mine done on valentines day and i changed it a week later. The guy that pierced mine said it was ok to change it after a week but make sure the ring is soaked in alcohol for at least 5 minutes so that it will be cleaned. Hope this helped. leave it in my inbox if u need anythign else.

Just to be safe i would wait until the 8 weeks r done with. Then you can show off you belly button without any problem afterwards.

When I got my belly button pierced, I changed my ring after four weeks but you can change your ring, as long as you keep it cleaned and the ring in, it's fine.
