Long overdue. I came here in August to switch my stud (I did this at a different studio in Pittsburgh) to a hoop. Fast forward 2 months...pus, pain, and redness. My tragus just wasn't ready for a hoop yet so I came back and Nick switched it again and explained that some people just have a slower recovery or healing journey and hoops have too much movement for a tragus' liking. It is much better now and I anticipate I'll keep a stud in for awhile longer. I do love gold so their jewelry was all to die for.
