How long after piercing ears can I go boating?
Basically, i wanna know how long i should wait from piercing my ears to go boating. I'd leave the earrings in obviously. I'm mostly worried about infection and maybe about knocking them around doing whatever.
Thanks

Just clean them afterwards. I pierced my navel when I was 12 and afterwards I went mudding in a bikini! And it never got infected! You'll be fine.

i wouldnt go into the water. just because other people did it and they turned out okay doesnt mean yours will too. there is so much junk in the water that doesnt go anywhere near your piercing. if you do go make sure you clean them off later

usually as soon as you like but put tape on cos if your earring got caught on anything then it might tear your ear lobe, which i have done and it hurts like hell. plus u get a nasty scar.

Dont worry about it.
It usually doesnt matter, just make sure you take care of the peircing.
