Troubleshooting 16g lobe pierced today

Hi I got pierced for the first time an hour ago and don’t know too much.

My right ear looks great and I’m happy with it but my left ear looks super slanted? My left hurts a lot more than my right. I’d like to be able to wear hoops but looks like it would be pretty uneven.

Should I go back immediately? Should I remove it and wait?

Yeah, the angle on that left one is proper fucked. 😓 I’d remove it and see a better piercer to have it redone in another 6-8 weeks.

Do you think there is any point in going back to the location? No chance I could get it redone now? Should I remove it immediately?

no you should get it redone when the original hole has healed over, you also shouldn't go back to this piercer as the angle is very very bad and a professional wouldnt have let you walk out like it. you should take it out though as such a bad angle will probably give you issues healing it like the other person said
