Hey guys. well i just got my cartillage pierced on my right ear and its only a little stud. Well, i play basketball and we can wear earings during practice as long as there not dangly, but we have a game on wednesday and i just got my piercing done this previous wednesday. do you think it would be ok if i took it out for an hour while i play in the game or will it close up?
LoveNJstyle answered Friday December 30 2005, 4:43 pm: For an hour, you should be ok. it'll hurt a little bit to put it back in but it wont be too bad since you survived the initial piercing. most leagues won't let you have earrings in even if they're covered so i wouldn't even try. you'll be fine. play hard! <3
ps. i ref soccer... the league won't let anyone on the field with badages over earrings, no exceptions. just thought you might wanna clear that up. [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]

Ask your coach if you can bandage your ear and explain that you just got it peirced and you are unable to take it out. It should be alright, just put some gauze over it and then either some medical or some masking tape. It'll look a little funny, but its worth it to be able to keep your earring.

S_C answered Friday December 30 2005, 2:10 pm: It most likely will close up, I've had holes that close up after a year even though I wore the earing for longer than the reccomended period of time. I'll tell you what we had to do in P.E (gym class) back in middle school (junior high) when we aren't allowed to wear piercings. If they are new and you are not able to take them out without them closing then you have to like tape your ear. Put one of those big bandages over it. Usually if it's a stud it's okay. A teacher that I had back in the 7th or 8th grade had a piercing ripped from her ear once, something about a basketball coming towards her and a girl went to grab it but got her ear instead, it was also a dangly one. Usually you're safer with studs. When I played soccer we just had to bandage our ears. Talk to your coach and ask him/her if you can just bandage your ear. If not then ONLY take out the earing when you actually go in to play, if you're sitting on the bench then leave them in!! If you see a lot of playing time well then hopefully it won't close up too bad and you can still poke them through, it might hurt a little bit but it's either that or pierce them all over again!!

SweetxxIntoxication answered Friday December 30 2005, 11:57 am: well i have many piercings, and from my experiances, i think it will probably close up just a little bit, because it is so new. If this happens, you should just try and pop it back it, it will hurt a little, but at least you'll still have it ;) Freezing it will help with the pain too, if it closes a little and is too hard to get it back in. just make sure you clean it with some rubbing alcohol too.
