Does it matter if you get a stud or a loop for your first earlobe piercing?

Answer I wear hoops, 1 gauge, 1 body piercing, and studs. If it is your first Ear Lobe piercing it is best to get pierced with a stud, and go for a good strong noncorrosive metal (14k or titanium, cheaper stuff like copper, NOT A GOOD MOVE!). Studs have a less chance of being ripped out or caught on anything, Cleaning is simple and healing is rather quick in my opinion. You should never get pierced with a hoop you cause complications with the healing process and your piercer should know that.
Personally I wouldn't use a hoop because you will most likely changed the size of the hole. Studs are the way to go for the healing period with lobes. The process is quick and practically painless. But if you pierce any other part of your ear you are going to want to look for a piercer. - Hope that helped, Cheeky6682
AnswerIt's better to start with a ring, a good quality ring made of 316LVM Steel, Titanium, or 14kt gold or better.
Studs are made of cheap metal in most cases, and the design of the stud can impede your healing.
AnswerI would advise a stud because I have found them more comfortable to sleep on and keep clean, but a hoop works as well.
AnswerIt is easier to clean a hoop because it is harder to push the stud out to make sure the cleaning solution gets into the piercing but it is just personal preference.-Answer, Meyshi07- Well.. if you are ever wanting to wear a hoop, start with a hoop, its a LOT harder switching form a stud to a hoop because, well the stud is pierced straight,the hoop is curved, I got my cartilage pierced with a stud and had a hell of a time trying to wear a hoop, got all sorts of infected and took me a year to just give up and take the pain till the hoop fit and healed. I still have problems keeping the hoop comfortable at times. My advice go with a hoop if u plan on wearing one neways, and to the answer about rings catching on things, its reversed a stud catches on things easier than a hoop =P
Answer ; Get it pierced with a stud. After it heals then you can wear loops.
ANSWER: Now, I don't know where there people are getting their information from, but it's best to go to a PROFESSIONAL PIERCER who would put a hoop in instead of a stud. When you pierce anything, it's going to swell. HOOPS allow the piercing to heal and also allows the piercing to have room to swell. Cartilage is completely different than the ear lobe, and should be treated differently.
Piercing guns aren't very good for healing, because they actually blast the hole into your ear instead of making a clean hole.
Cleaning hoops are simple. Just wash off the crusties in the shower with antibacterial soap (Dial works well) and put a little bit of antibiotic gel (Neosporin) on the edge of the piercing/ring and work in back and forth.

Compare Do-While with While Statements?
A Do-While loop looks like this: do { loop body } while (condition); and a While loop looks like this: while (condition) { loop body } The main difference is that the loop body is always run once in the Do-While loop, then the condition is checked to see if the loop should keep running. In a While loop, the condition is checked first, and it will not run the loop body at all if the condition is false.
Where can someone buy jewelry for a nose piercing?
I've asked many people this question and I never got the same answer. It is all a matter of opinion. Some people think getting it pierced in a stud is better and some think a loop is better.. I personally just got my nose pierced 4 days ago in a loop (my piercer advised against it) and it looks great for being a new piercing. I've cleaned it more than 3 times a day and it looks normal. Some people believe that piercing it in a loop will result in the piercing not healing right. I think that a loop is easier to clean and looks better. Piercing it in a stud can result in the piercing sinking into the skin and/or dirt and oils getting trapped under the stud. I'd advise a loop.

I just talked to a piercer who said that she had to pierce my nose with a ball and not a loop because a loop wont heal is this true I figured a loop would be easier to clean?
it's easier to heal a nose piercing with a nose screw rather than a cbr. less of a chance it'll get hooked on something or knocked around. and a nose piercing doesn't take that much cleaning. I have mine done and if you leave it alone it should be fine.

What is the difference between dowhile loop dountil?
A do-while loop checks its termination condition before each iteration, including the first; a do-until checks after each iteration, so that the first iteration occurs before the first check. The C language uses the word "while" for both types of loop, using the placement of the condition to control its timing:C do-while:while (condition) { /* condition checked before first loop iteration */... loop contents}C do-until:do {... loop contents} while (condition); /* condition not checked until after first loop iteration */

Can you use a loop when you first get your nose pierced?
The best person to answer this would be the hopefully professional piercer who would be doing the job. A less professional answer: depends on the type of loop. A captive bead ring, common in most professional studios is a likely option when you get your nose pierced, whether it is a left or right nostril piercing, or a septum piercing, If you did not go with a CBR when you first had the hole poked in your nose, you will have to wait until the piercing fully heals before changing to something else. The type of loop that is basically a barbell with screw on end caps, bent into up to 300 degrees of arc should also work. I have something similar in 4 gauge through my right nipple with no problems. If you are talking about the type of closed loop commonly sold in jewelry stores and meant for ears, i would recommend against it, especially if you are getting an amateur or DIY piercing. Those things are EVIL on fresh piercings as they provide lots of places for gunk to build up, increasing risk of infection. Whether you go professional or half assed with it though, i do suggest NOT going with any sort of loop for a nise piercing at first, start with something low key that employers or potential employers are less likely to notice until it heals, then go with the CBR or whatever after it is healed fully, this makes it more likely that you can avoid the hassles of being forced to pull the steel out of a not healed yet piercing, which invites scarring, infection, bleeding, and the hole healing closed. http://www.bmezine.com/ is likely to be your best source of info online, though beware, it is not particularly safe for work, or around parents if you are under 18.
