i guess i meant heal enough where playing my sport isn’t going to make it hurt a lot/disturb it. ik the full healing time is 6-9 months but with other piercings i’ve had, the pain from touching the piercing usually goes away before the full healing period, or is it still best to wait?

Oh ok I would say best to wait, I’ve gotten a mix of good fast heals and some that if I put the slightest pressure form my hat or headphones it would be a mess

ok thank you. my sport is very contact heavy, hence the helmet, so i wanted to make sure that taking hits during the season wouldn’t cause the piercing to reject

Yea I wouldn’t risk it but if you get it after the season then it is also less likely to get the ear infection + piercing infection
