Hey ladies! I recently got a double cartilage piercing and I've never had anything like this before, I was hoping to ask some questions for those of you who have experience in it, all of my friends are younger and have never had anything like this done. First off its the second day and i can actually touch them gently haha but how long did it take yours to be okay with everyday activities? Like showering or wearing glasses without being super cautious. Second, im definitely not messing with them before the 8 weeks is up, but when i do want to replace them with different rings, where do you go to buy good ones? Hoops and studs. Im allergic to everything but white gold, so I'm trying to find good places. And lastly, she pierced the with 16 gauge bars, so when i buy new ones do i need to be concerned with the guages and only get 16? Thanks!
