When it is healed have them do it. I have a pressurized hoop and need one of those plier like tools which I think I will purchase so I can do it myself. It will be at least 4 months before you should take it out to change jewelry. Make sure you know the gauge so you can switch it with the appropriate size ring. Did they give you any suggestions? Tattoo shops usually do but I am not sure where you went. It is much easier to clean a ring than a stud and there is less a chance of skin growing over the piercing and scar tissue building up. Maybe you can have a professional change it?
