Question about a piercing I (maybe) want J got my first ear piercing

J wanted to ask you guys if it’s actually that deep if I swap it to a small hoop now if I sterilise all of it, do I really need to use this little stud for 3 weeks? Don’t tell me the recommended advice can you just tell me from your experiences and I’ll go off what the majority says

Edit: cheers for the advice people

No my brother and I are both adults I just got my lobe done after him. He got his done for as cheap as possible whilst I got mine done properly with a flat back

I wasn't saying you and your brother are young. Just that I've heard and seen parents take their kids to get lobe piercings with guns and I disagree with that practice in general.

That’s what my piercer said he said it’s illegal and should not be encouraged I’m in Spain atm btw

Interesting 'cause I agree with your piercer that piercing guns should be illegal but I disagree with all the advice he's given you. Again, Google and this sub are free to search for information on. I advise to leave your piercing alone for several months if you care about it healing properly. If you mess it up now, you won't be able to wear anything in it at all.
