Answer #1

You pierced it yourself? Well, that’s probably the problem right there. You should never pierce ANYTHING yourself. Piercings are ALWAYS meant to be done by professionals. There’s nothing scary about it and it’s not painful. Professional piercers know what they’re doing. They know know where all the important stuff is located veins, nerves, etc… and know how to pierce it right. Self-piercings usually aren’t done right at all and that’s exactly why most people who self-pierce have problems getting their jewelry in and out. Self-piercings usually always get infected and have several other issues too so it’s always best to get it done by a professional. If you can, get the jewlery out. If you can’t, you’ll have to do to a professional to get it out. You can’t be scared - if it’s the only way to get it out, then that’s just how it goes. You have to do what you have to do.

If you need anything else, let me know and I’ll help you out.

Answer #2

Do you have a captive bead ring (CBR)? I think you need a special tool for that - Ring opening pliers Go back to where you got pierced and ask them. It is very common for people to have trouble with their piercings at first. Good Luck!!

(It won’t screw out because there are no threads. It is the tension of the ends of the ring that are set in indentations in the bead that keeps it together.)

Answer #3

why would you be scared about that? it’s more scary trying to do it yourself then accidentaly ripping it out then going into a shop and asking them to help you get it out.

Answer #4

I pierced my lip..myself and I’m WAY TOO scared of going to a piercing shop and asking them to unscrew it..haha Im a baby (:

Answer #5

haha I thought the same thing, go into a piercing shop and they’ll be able to get it out =] I felt quite stupid when I went in panicking about never getting it out and they did quite easily with in a few seconds haha

Answer #6

your possibly twisting it the wrong way, I had that problem haha I was trying to get it out and twisting for my dear life thinking it was stuck then I went into the piercer and found out I had been tightening it.

Answer #7
