I was about 9 years old when I first got my ears pierced and found out a few years ago that i had an allergic reaction to nickle. I'm 24 years old now and I'm thinking of piercing them again beside the existing closed hole. I have a little bump on the back of my ears, my right ear lobe is nothing really. Is this keloid? Is it safe to give it another shot? It's not even big compared to the pictures I've seen, i think it's just scared puss. I knew exactly where i went wrong, i didn't rotate my earrings or clean them properly when i was a kid and it scabbed a bit. I want to pierce my ears again at a tattoo shop this time. HELP!!... i need an answer quick!

I got my ears pierced when I was 6 and I didn't know, but I was allergic to nickel and they started getting an infection. I thought it was something really stupid like i forgot to take them out after 6 months or something like that. My mom made me take them out and let them close up. Then just last year I REALLY wanted my ears pierced again and I went to the shop with my mom and my mom explained everything.
The workers there said they can pierce your ears with a stud that's pure silver and not nickel.
So there you go. You can get them pierced again as long as they are pure silver or gold. nothing nickel .
