    Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone knows if its possible to put a straight bar into a snug piercing that was pierced originally with a curved barbell..??

    Ive had it done 2 months, and want to change the jewellry as the curved one's too long.

    This doesnt answer your question at all- sorry!- but was it really as painful as they say it is? and how is it healing?

    I will say though that if you change the bar this soon you may compromise the healing process, and you really dont wanna do that if you're lucky enough for it to be healing well! especially from a curved bar to a straight one cause the curved ones help the healing too!

    Should be fine, but do wait until its fully healed.

    Could you not get a smaller curved bar?

    I wouldn't recommend it, it could upset the way the piercing has healed. I had my anti-tragus pierced, it was fully healed and I lost the bar, I bought a new one which was a different angle, when I put it in, the piercing got really aggrevated, I had to take it out and leave it heal up.
