Hey there, recently got my right ear re-pierced with a 1.6mm ring. The aim is to put in a stretcher(those little barbel looking things), so I have the same in both ears. Now the piercer used a PCC(?)(Shiny black) captive bead ring, but I already have a 1.6mm stretcher. Would it be possible to take the ring out and put in the stretcher or should I wait for it to heal first? Sorry about the lack of accurate terminology
Appreciate any help thrown my way!

wait until it is fully healed first, you dont want to agitate the piercing any more than you need to
