Bridge piercing with retainer?

I was just wondering if a retainer would be okay as initial jewelry for a bridge piercing. I would love to have this piercing and my job doesn’t mind wearing retainers, but they won’t let me have any metal jewelry in it. Thanks!
I prefer to use straight jewellery such as barbells in bridge piercings (and I do not place them as surface piercings, like some piercers seem to do), so if a client came to me with this request I’d be happy to do the piercing with a quartz glass tongue-style retainer. If your piercer uses glass retainers as initial jewellery for piercings (and honestly, we’ve done lots of them at my shop and never had any problems other than the occasional client losing their jewellery - retainers are NEVER as secure as threaded jewellery!), I can’t imagine why they would mind doing this for you.
