Ans: When you have pierced the soft part of your ear, you can change the ear piercing earring already after four weeks. It takes longer time to heal a piercing in cartilage, so we recommend you to wait for at least six weeks until you remove the ear piercing earring. When the time has come to change the earrings, we recommend you to take out the ear piercing earring directly after you have taken a shower and washed your hair. Do not let the piercing be without any earring as the piercing will shrink and the diameter of the hole will quickly be reduced, especially during the first year.
