Ok so today i pierced my ear right? the shop had no clear studs and i need clear studs because my school doesn't allow earrings on boys. I choose a metal one, and it was pierced and all was good...
I went to my friends house and he had a clear stud, so i took the one i had out and i put his after i sprayed it with the salt and water spray...
my ear did bleed when i took the earring out
do you think it'll get infected?
there is no redness, no pain and no swelling and its been around 6 hours now
what do you guys think?

If there is no pain or redness or signs of infection and you cleaned the earrings and your ears with the solution then you should be good. Just make sure you clean often to prevent infection

by 'clear' do you mean a plastic retainer? as they're meant for fully healed piercings, not new ones. otherwise, if it's good-quality metal with a clear jewel on the end it should be ok.
it may take longer to heal, and get irritated, as you've forced something through a new wound soon after, and as you didn't exactly sterilise the new one (salt water isn't enough) it's possible you may get an infection. be careful with it, clean it often, don't play with it, and it should turn out ok

yes it can. do you know what kind of material the earring is??? is it quartz? hopefully but i dont think so... anyways does it feele liek plastic? if it does then thats probabaly an acrylic retainer.. which is horrible for long time use... it is a pourous surface. cannot be completey sterilized.. the pourous surface overtime can harbor bacteria and cause an infection... i told my friend this since she is stretchign her ears and i noticed she was wearing acrylic.. it old her abotu the danger but she didnt listen to me. 2 weeks later her ears got infected and had to switched to stainless steel.... better off not having your ear(s) pierced at all sine yoru school does not allow them!
***** it is okay to use for healed piercings. but for new ones you need to keep away fromt hem since your ear is healing. also... even if your ears are healed they are not meant for long term wear. only temporary wear.
