Is it safe to take out starter earings after 3 weeks of getting a piercing?

3 weeks usually isn’t long enough of a wait before you take out your starter rings. However, if you do, you should clean your hands and then clean your piercing (with the starter still in) with a warm salt water solution. After that step I would suggest changing your starter earring to an earring that has a longer post and is a nice metal (like implant grade surgical steel) because you could get some swelling after irritating the relatively new piercing and you do not want to get an infection. -Quora
