Questions about Ear Piercing...HELP?!?

I wanted to pierce my ear tomorrow (friday), first and second hole, and make an orbital piercing (connect the two holes with a ring). But i go back to school on tuesday and I'm not allowed to wear earrings in school. Are there plugs I can buy (and where?) or would I be able to take it out for school? Thanks!

    There are retainers (clear jewelry) you can buy, but I don't think most piercers would use them as default jewelry - you'd need to ask, though. Even if you did use clear jewelry, the area will be red, swollen and bruised for a few days at least, and there's no hiding that.

    Your best option would be to wait until you're not in school for a few months.

    Some piercers will pierce you with a retainer as the initial jewellery if you ask. Not many plastics are suitable for new piercings, the only one I know of that is is bioplast. It's a good idea to call your piercer before hand and discuss it with them and check they have the jewellery available.

    It would be best to heal your piercings separately and then put the ring through when they're both healed. The swelling when they're initially done could cause problems otherwise.
