I went into Claire's last year on a whim and decided to get my cartilage pierced, not thinking that a professional shop would have been a better choice. It's been about 9 months and i wanted to change it out for a new earring but every cartilage ring that I bought is too wide. They are 18 gauge but I think Claire's must've given me a smaller one and now I can't put in a new earring. What should I do? Tell Claire's or just go somewhere and ask to get it fixed and wait another 9 months for that to heal? I don't want to stretch it since it's relatively new and I don't want it to get damaged or infected. I just don't know how to go about getting this fixed.
