Question

can i get my ears pierced again if my holes close up

Submitted on 05/16/04 at 02:40:48


Answer

Yes, you can. There will be a scar where the old holes were, but you can get them pierced in a new spot. Be careful to keep the holes clean, though. You do not want them closing up while infected.
