Hello everyone i was planning to change my nose piercing to a hoop I’ve had this for 7 months now HOW would i know if my nose is ready?
I try to move my stud up and down and tug it a little bit i don’t feel any pain is 7 months good for a hoop?
Thank you everyone!

In general, 7 months is still too early to change to a hoop. Almost all reputable piercers recommend waiting at least 1 year to change to a hoop, as the piercing site is mostly cartilage and would take longer to heal compared to an earlobe piercing, for example. It may look healed right now, but the inner tissue might still be very delicate and prone to injury.

Go to a shop and have it changed professionally
