Can I get pierced with a ring/hoop?
Yes and no…
Very few piercing heal better with rings vs studs or barbells.
Daith, Septum, and some genital piercings are exceptions.
We strongly suggest starting most other piercings with a stud or barbell.
Rings rotate, move and bring whatever is on the surface of the ring into the piercing track more than a stud does.
Most people aren't keen on the look of an oversized hoop, and we have to give your piercing room for swelling and cleaning needs initially.
Thicker tissue needs a larger ring so the size and thickness of the ring is will also depend on anatomy.
It is great to know ahead of time that you plan to wear a ring so we can place your piercing accordingly.
