sorry, sweet pea, i'm going with the professionals on this one- 4-8 weeks minimum. HOWEVER, the difference between 4 and 8 weeks is really quite substantial. it really depends on you. since you're young and healthy, you might heal faster. use the healings of your other piercings as an indicator.
ALSO- taking a zinc supplement or applying zinc cream topically can help to speed healing. if you plan to apply it topically, though, i would wait at least 2 weeks.
