DD piercing diagonal

Help!
DD (16) had a second piercing in her ear lobes today. She has just noticed that one of them is slightly diagonal ie where the back of the stud comes out is about 2-3mm higher than where it goes in.
What should we do? She wants to leave it but should it be re-done?

I'd get it done again. Was it pierced with a gun? They're the worst offenders. I'd take out the piercing, let it heal and see if it can be done again. Although I'm not sure how well it'll heal/stand up to being re-pierced - probably fine if it was done neatly a second time.

I'd definitely wouldn't leave it though. I used to have six piercings in one ear, one was wonky, and totally messed up the seventh on top of it!

Where did she go to get her ears pierced? Isn't everywhere closed? You need to ask the opinion of a piercer - see if you can find one online who consult over video.

Thanks. I think we will go back and see what they say.
We are not in the UK - no lockdown here.
