Rook piercing?

Yesterday I got a rook piercing done, but I’ve been concerned about it. First of all, my piercer pierced it with a CBR, which I’ve heard can hinder the healing process as it can be easily bumped around. Second, it was pierced at an 18 gauge, which is really small. Are these factors going to be an issue? Because I really am worried about the health of my piercing. If it is recommended that it be changed from a CBR to a curved barbell, is it okay to go to a different piercer as soon as possible and request that be done? Or is it still too early to be changed at all?

Any information regarding the jewelry style and/or gauge or just any other information about the rook piercing would be so helpful and much appreciated.

Thank you very much.

I would say the earlier you could see a different piercer to have it switched to a larger gauge curved barbell the better.
Rings do indeed get knocked around much more frequently and do pose the risk of traumatizing the piercing.
I prefer to do cartilage piercings 16g+ for the added stability a thicker anchor provides.
