I can’t take my piercing off. I’ve tried & my fingers slip on the ball & I try grabbing the bar to hold it still but I just can’t take it off.
Then after a while it starts to hurt. So I just quit.
I know that they say: “Lefty Loosy Righty Tighty” but is it MY left, or the piercers left? I tried both ways but it just doesn’t loosin up.
I don’t have anything but my fingers to hold the bar. So any tips.
I know it seems like a dumb question, but I just really want to switch my top part.
HELP?


When I had my Monroe pierced the same thing happened to me. I keep fiddling with it and it eventually fell of unsuspected which wasn’t good. It was the piercer’s left; so you’re right.
I also used my teeth to hold the bar on the inside of your mouth and the used a small bit of tissue to hold the outside ball so that my fingers weren’t slipping round the ball.
Hope it helps.
Try using pliers or find someone who has them. Or use something with the material similar to a mouse pad or something like that, it will help you get a grip on the ball.
If you go to the studio where you got it pierced, they will probably do it for you free of charge (although you should tip them).
I don’t know how long you have had it pierced, but just want you to know you should wait until it is healed to change the jewelry.
omg! i have the same piercing
and sometimes i have that problem when i wear the ball and plus my bar is really short so its hard
so what i do is put rubber gloves on and the rubber grips on better to the metal , its soo much easier
and to unscrew it , you have to roll the ball to your right.
go try it
if it’s your first piercing then thats because the piercer puts your stud on extra tight 2 make sure it doesnt come off, so you have to go back to your piercer to have them take it off for you, the other studs/rings after that are always easy 2 come off
Try having someone else take it off for you. it might see weird to ask someone else to help with that but really it is easier if someone else does it cuz they can actually see what there doing.
its your piercings left..
make sure your hands are really dry before you try to take it off
i usually recommend to clients to try a rubber band. some people dont have gloves or pliers but a rubber band is much like a rubber jar opener. most of the time this does the trick.
