Usually a week ( 7 days ) or longer (14 days), it is important that the swelling has settled, if not wait a bit longer. If the stud is too short it can damage the piercing if for some reason the piercing swells up again.

Your piercer can, but you should not attempt it as you could injure your new piercing and it could lead to infection.


Can you put a small stud in when you get your medusa pierced?

All initial lip piercings have to have a titanium 1.2 x 10 mm stud ( it's about the size of a small pea) then after two weeks the piercer should change it to a smaller stud or gem depending on swelling and healing :D


When you get your lip pierced do you have to bring your own piercing?

When I got my lip pierced, they already had the jewelry with them, because they have to use a special, longer stud to accomodate swelling. Perhaps if you brought you're own ball(s), they would screw those onto the stud instead of the regular ones.


Does a belly button piercing hurt more then a lip piercing?

I have both my lip and belly button pierced. I had my belly button pierced with a hoop and my lip pierced with a bar/stud. The belly button was more irritating then the lip because a hoop piercing requires the piercer to clamp it shut and fiddle around with a new pierced part instead of just screwing a ball on. I recommend any new piercings to be with a bar/stud as it is quicker and less irritating. Put it this way, I'm going for a 2nd lip piercing and not another belly button piercing ;)

The jewellery for piercings isn't something you buy off the shelf, the piercing needs to be measured and size according to what you were pierced with and where the piercing is at with the healing. You need to see a professional body piercer to get the appropriate jewellery for your piercing.
