Can't unscrew flat back earrings!!

[OrlandointheWilderness]

Got my ears pierced ten weeks ago by a very good piercer, I have flat back titanium earrings in. All healed lovely. Went to change them for the first time today and the blooming things are properly stuck on - the DP has had a pair of small pliers on the back and still can't get them to shift! He's now talking about a pair of mole grips....
Any advice while I still have ears?!? 😂

Its the front that twists off if they are flat backed labrets

Yep that's the bit we are trying to unscrew!

These are the most common styles of labret

Ah right
Is he turning them the right way?
Wd40? 😆

Pair of latex gloves will give better grip than a set of pliers.

If that fails, get the piercer to do the change.

Call the piercer for advice?

Yep internally threaded ones. Yes the correct way!
WD40 has been mentioned....! 😂

he's used latexx gloves. I've messaged the piercer to see what she suggests.

Back to the piercer. I've had to do this a couple of times. Once they saved the earings another time she said I can't save them what do you want to do. We took them out. The lock had completely broken. I'm very careful with backs now .

I'd be using my WD40 for sure

Do you have a small child handy? I have struggled to unscrew mine a few times and was convinced they were stuck fast but my 8 year old managed it with her tiny little fingers.

Are you sure they are threaded?

My labret ends are all push fit so you just pull (hard!)

Ohh @evilharpy I do have a 12 year old... are the fingers still sufficiently tiny at that age do you reckon!? 😂
Yes definitely threaded
