This is another reason why its important to see a reputable piercer. With many cartilage piercings, longer jewellery being left in too long can cause the piercing to migrate. A shift in the piercing channel which makes the piercing wonky. The golden rule is that new piercings should always be kept clean and dry. The piercing site should be cleaned three times daily with the Inverness Aftercare Solution and piercing earrings should also be completely rotated to prevent the posts from adhering to the ear.

Even after a few years, nipple piercings can close inside of a week without jewellery. For some, the hole can stay open for years on its own, although this is rare.
This is because the jewellery itself can present a potential choking hazard. Provided your piercing is fully healed, it will usually stay open during breastfeeding sessions.
