My studs have been fine! *gets huffy and defensive*. Really though only the left one was slightly tight during the first week (and killed off all the skin on the back of my earlobe :/). They've otherwise been loose enough to stick my finger under the back.. Er, which might be how i managed to get them infected.
That said, if I were to do it over I would look into getting them done with needles and having some form of rings put in instead, to make sure nothing was getting trapped, and I could keep them dry.
What gets me is they were fine :/ I could move them around in the ear without a problem, they didn't hurt, they weren't uncomfortable, surely they were past getting infected? So yeah, stopped keeping them clean and playing with them, now look what I've got.
I'll see about some salt water.. Er, how would one apply that without swimming? Just we're looking at a few weeks of crappy weather here ^_^
