can't get piercing out

6 replies

Got a second piercing on my ear lobes 2 months ago, and can not for the life of me get one of them out!
the earring on one side came off really easily - it must have loosened so I knocked it and it came off while having lunch
but the other one isn't for budging! it's a flat back and the stud twists in. just wondering if anyone had any tips??
thanks

I had an identical situation the other week with DDs second ones - one was fine, the other just wouldn’t budge - I took her to the piercers and they removed it in seconds! Go back and ask for them to help Smile

Put some vaseline on it and wait a minute it should help it come off more easily.

I would say go back to where you had them done or a professional piercing place (seem to go hand in hand with tattoo artists). I went to get Dermal piercing removed yesterday and went to a tattoo/piercing place and it was done in seconds.

Before you go back to the piercer try some rubber gloves. It'll help you get a grip on it

ooh, rubber gloves might be a good shout @InTheKitchenAtParties will give that a go
and yes, my back up was just to go back to the place I had them done, but I just wondered if there was some trick I was missing....

I had the exact same thing yesterday on three of the same piercings. They suggest latex gloves to get a good grip. Just remember to twist them towards your right. I managed without gloves in the end, the balls were really small but came off easily when I got a grip on the right place. Good luck
