Lip or labret ( including Monroe) piercings, as you probably already know, are initially pierced with a stud that is just a smidge longer than you will need long term. This is to allow extra room for the expected swelling that occurs during the first 3 days. So, while the lip is swollen, it's usually a perfect fit. As soon as the swelling goes down, the labret stud should be changed to a shorter one. We usually use a 3/8 inch stud to pierce with, and change it to a 5/16 after the swelling subsides. It is best if you are pierced with internally threaded jewelry, so the piercer, or yourself, can use the threaded end of a taper pin to assist in easily swapping out the 2 pieces without losing connection. If you have problems changing your jewelry yourself, you can buy a piercing widget from a company called www.changemypiercing.com. A piercing widget is a three piece tool used to insert jewelry, or change jewelry, and works with 14 gauge internally threaded jewelry.

Is it safe to take out your Monroe piercing after almost 2 weeks after it being pierced and change it to a different one?
No its not. If its too long of a stud to the point that it gets hit too often and irritates the piercing, have your piercer look at it and put something smaller in. You don't want to change it yourself until its fully healed.

When is a good time to get ears pierced for a baby?
I don't believe in forcing your child to have pierced ears (that is piercing your babies ears before they are old enough to say no, mom, i don't want my ears pierced) but if you pierce them young then the less it will hurt them (the younger you are the less it will hurt). It would be better to wait because the piercing will change as your child grows and they may end up being uneven.
When you get your lip pierced and after it heals you want to change the stud What is the best size to use?
The jewellery for piercings isn't something you buy off the shelf, the piercing needs to be measured and size according to what you were pierced with and where the piercing is at with the healing. You need to see a professional body piercer to get the appropriate jewellery for your piercing.

How long after can you change jewelry on labret piercing after getting it pierced?
Generally you can look at changing jewellery in about 7 to 14 days however the jewellery needs to be of higher quality than what your ears have been pierced with assuming you are going the piercing gun route which I always advise against because the shops doing the piercing with guns do not have health inspections or business licenses for piercing services.
Do you have to have a nose piercing a certain amount of time before you can leave the country?
No. You'll still look like you do on your passport, unless you did a dramatic change to your self. And if they do give you a hassle, the piercing will be fine if you remove it for a moment, for them to identify you. When I traveled to Switzerland and had my nose pierced on my return trip to the States, I had no problems what so ever.
