No way, no how! It has been medically recommended that the recovery duration for any type of piercing be about 8 weeks. Any starting earrings changed before 4 weeks may cause infections or further discomfort inside the subsequently healed piercings. You should also come up with a plan for removing any loose ends from your jewelry: broken rings or chains can be removed using special files; bent needles can be straightened. In addition, there is always some risk of infection when receiving any medical treatment. Your tattoo artist will ensure that you are safe by sterilizing his/her instruments and by wearing sterile gloves. But even with these precautions, an infection could still occur. During the healing period, it is recommended that you avoid activities that could damage the new piercing. For example, you should not swim or take a hot bath until after the healing period is over. Also, it's best to keep the area clean, especially after coming in contact with dirt or water. A few drops of alcohol on a cotton ball are all that is needed to keep the wound free of bacteria. If you have any concerns about keeping your new piercing safe and healthy, it is best to discuss them with your tattoo artist first before starting out. They will be able to give you tips on how to care for yourself during the healing process.
