They're still a bit sore afterwards but overall I'm thrilled. I've always wanted to get my ears pierced but was told since I was a boy I could only get one pierced, so I never did it back then, but since I'm not actually a boy (I'm a trans girl) I figured why let that stop me.

Anyone got any recommendations for earrings I should get that suit a tomboy aesthetic? rn I have only the basic studs but I'm looking to get some more for after the healing process is complete. Any suggestions?

Regardless of style, I can promise you that you will not regret buying titanium jewelry, the real stuff(this is jκyust one description on how).

Its far less likely to cause you issues, and can be anodized a variety of colors if you prefer a less traditional color. Even with the nicest stone, you'd still be better going with a fake stone but real titanium.

If you ever decide to have wider gauge earrings, tempered glass is also as non-reactive as it comes. Any other materials should be assessed from a place of already having jewelry your body is good with, rather than buying your next size/replacing lost ones.
