i just got surgery literally today. this. was. a. life. saver. its so comfortable and was surgery safe!! ive never changed my nose ring by myself. i was originally pierced with a stud similar to this one (but metal) and then when i got an actually ring the woman in the shop changed it for me so i was very nervous that i would mess this up. but im so happy i could do it. PLUS its super cute and comfortable!! probably gonna get more of them tbh
