You also want to stay out of the pool (chlorine) for 6-8 weeks, as chlorine may irritate the piercing.
In addition, lakes and rivers do not contain any disinfectant, therefore they contain A LOT of bacteria. Avoid lakes and rivers for 8 weeks until your piercing is healed.
Definitely wait until it heals, which can be a couple of weeks. Even when it has healed, going in the ocean can irritate it (I've seen it happen! Not pretty).
You must clean it out very well after a swim in the ocean. Soap, water, the works, and watch it closely.
I would say that youd only have to wait a couple of weeks if that, the salt cant do it any harm as salt is good for piercings. Your allowed to get piercings wet.. so i would say just as soon as it stops being sore. Dont take my definite word for it though as that's just my personal opinion and im not a piercer ( thought i do have an industrial piercing..!)
u probably have to wait a certain amount of weeks or days just like with any other body piercing, because when i got my belly button done i had to wait 3 weeks to a month before i could go swimming. So i would call and ask just to be sure k <3
Usually about 8 weeks, but you can use tegaderm (a 3M membrane patch) to cover it if you just have to go in.
Never the less it is an open wound. Could get infected.
Wait till it stops hurting or dry.
you don't have to wait....it isn't major surgery
You should wait till it heals. The healing period for a tragus is about 2-3 months. If you can find a way to put a waterproof bandage on it though, you're fine. I havent found a way yet.
Wait about 2 months before you get them wet. You can go swimming as long as you dont submerge your head/ears/piercings.

Do you have to go to a tattoo place or just to ardenes to get industrial earrings?
Industrial piercings are done with a needle in the hands of a trained professional body piercer. Ardenes is not a body piercing facility, they are not licensed to do body piercing nor do they know how to do industrial piercings. They use piercing guns for ear lobes only. See a professional body piercer at a body piercing studio or your local professional tattoo shop.

Wait at least 2 months before you actually get the piercing wet. Before that, you can swim as long as you dont get your ears wet. Be sure to clean them well afterwards too. Water if filthy, and if you go swimming earlier, you increase the risk of infection.
