Answer #3

Hi,

I found that a barbell is better. The ring, when I got it pierced, was too large in diameter and ended up irritating my ear. Also it poked out more and made it more uncomfortable when I slept.

If you need to get a ring, make sure it’s the right size, in gauge and diameter, and you’ll be fine.

Answer #4

I guess I’ll go barbell. But mine actually was pierced with a labret stud and I thougth that was great. I think rings look cheesy. Check out mine!

Answer #5

The barbell is always better as it reduced infection. You can swab it better than with a ring and a ring you can also catch it on things which will make the pain be there for even longer.
