soo its like this. i got my industrial pierced almost 3 weeks ago. the dude said not to change it for 8-12 weeks but i am soo tempted. ive been keeping it clean as instructed and have had no problems at all and all the crusting is gone. would it be ok to go ahead and change it to a brand new barbell as long as i keep cleaning it well? ive had no problems with any of my piercings getting infected and im extremely impatient and excited =]. i know its not recommended but do you think itd be ok?

They say not to change it for 8-12 weeks because it means if you take it out earlier than those 8 to 12 weeks and have no bar in it, it will heal up.
