The recommendations I’ve seen have varied wildly from 6 weeks to 6 months. The obvious answer is “once it’s healed enough”, but I am not sure how to judge that. I got my lobes pierced about a month ago, and I’m eager to upgrade from the simple silver studs! But I also don’t want to risk damaging the healing process and making the piercing angry.

Any advice is appreciated 😊

This is pure anecdote, but I had mine first dine at 13. Excitedly tried changing it at 6 weeks and I vividly remember how painful it was, and I had to poke round for ages to find the path through. They deffo weren't healed enough at 6 weeks!
