We do not initially pierce with a hoop as that takes much much MUCH longer to heal especially with our current mask culture. We initially pierce with a stud but we can pierce for a hoop as placement can make a hoop look good or not so good. So just let the piercer know that you are wanting to wear a hoop in the future and they will place the piercing appropriately for you.
Stud, once it's healed you can then switch to a hoop.
