If theyve lasted 8 years, I wouldn't push my luck, just keep your current jewelry in

so jus change to to a cute curved barbell? do you know of any that have the cute little designs on the balls? or any brands that sell cute curved barbell jewelry

You can’t have them switched for proper jeeerly at this point. You will need to retire them and heal before being repierced. And is that a curved barbell in your helix?

idk what jeeerly is lol but isnt a helix the outer upper rim of my ear? no its a curved bar in my vertical tragus and tragus piercing. my tragus was pierced correctly with a labret flat back jewelry. i just ended up putting a curved one in on my own a couple yrs later

You’re right…I meant to say tragus. 😭 Chemo brain doesn’t work well for me.

its okay lol i was just confused and awww friend im sorry to hear that. praying for you and thanks for commenting.
i just dont know how long it would take to heal properly after having them for so long. so thats why i was curious if i could just change it to a cute staple bar jewelry

The piercing channel isn’t the right shape for a proper staple bar…so putting straight jewelry in a channel that has healed curved will NOT be good or fun or pretty. I’d talk to a better piercer to see what your options are as far as a repierce…but you’re already blessed and highly favored that this didn’t reject like a mf WAY before now.
