    No.....but after a while the ear is supposed to stop coagulating

    This makes the least sense out of anything ever. I have no idea what you're on about.

    coagulating is what happens to your blood when you die. You make no sense. A piercing is an open would, your body will always try to heal it

    LOL MY BAD. I picked up coagulation somewhere and thought it meant that. Retarded me.

    Anyway back on topic.

    My sister got both her ears done, kept the ear rings in for 6 weeks non-stop and then took them out for the space of a few days, and the holes didn't close up for her? Why?

    Because everyones body is different? Your piercing shouldn't be scabbing anyway, and whether it is or not has nothing to do with whether or not the hole will close.

    Well should I just drop the whole idea of keeping a piercing? I'm forced to take the ear ring out in school and by 4 o clock I have to go through too much pain to put it back in.

    Yes drop the whole idea if you have to take it in and out daily

    finally? You said you had it in for 6 months. Not in and out daily for 6 months.

    For such an active thread I expected it earlier. Not being an impatient bitch, it's just that I asked a question and people knowledgeable on the topic took their time in delivering an answer.

    Yeah I suppose I did **** up with the whole coagulation thing.

    One more question is how is it the other guys in my school can do the exact same as me but put their ear rings back in with no problems?

    Yep, this is a knowledgable forum- which means an ear piercing could refer to one of the MANY lobe/cartilage piercings, a stretched lobe piercing, a gunned lobe piercing, and you never told us how long you had it!

    Details get results, ambiguity doesn't!

    Curse my ears. Well thank you two for the help. Now if you'd excuse me I'm going to my room to cut myself as realizing what a waste of 6 months maintaining it this has been has made me depressed. Later.

    If you have to hide it, try putting in a retainer after its healed

    Wait til the summer next time, and switch to a retainer or glass jewellery.

    My 10mm stretched lobe still closed up when i leave the plug out for too long.
    When i had my lips done, they would close up after an hour, or at least the skin would heal over them

    Do you have long hair? Just wear studs untill you finish school if they are that strict about it and leave your hair down to cover it.
    Get studs of a similar colour to your skin, wear glass studs.
    Don't buy and studs from claires accesories or any other cheap place as such, they'll probably lead to an infection and you'll have to take out your piecings anyway.

    Any help?

    Yes, very.

    Unfortunately I don't have long hair, at the moment.
    And yeah I love the idea of having something to fool my teachers, at least from a distance.

    Just looking through this again and retainers are exactly what I need.

    Now, for my final question and then I'll piss off: Where do I get a clear/skin coloured retainer for my lobe piercing? I live in Dundrum.

    Alright awesome I've got music on Saturday morning in Stephens green so I'll check it out.

    Have any directions from the luas stop?

    Thanks.

    If you can't find your way into stephens green from the luas stop there's more than the piercing just closing up wrong ;)

    For Celestial Ring, try here.

    I'd also suggest trying Snakebite, middle abbey street.
