Is it possible to close very small piercing holes?

June 14, 2020
Asked By:Cybersiren in Saint Louis, MO

I have 3 standard piercing holes (18-20g) in each ear lobe. I've had them for several years. Two sets were done with a piercing gun and one set with a needle. They are crooked/uneven and too close together. I'd like to have them closed and eventually re-pierced. Would the scar from something like that be more noticeable than the old holes? Would it be worth the cost? Thanks!
