I just got a new piercing and the ball of one side fell out. How do I replace it?

Question

I just got my tragus pierced and one part of the horseshoe-shaped jewelery fell out. I'm pretty far away from the place where it was placed and I wouldn't know how to ask for it anyway. It's 16 gauge.

I guess I need a referal of a place to buy one online. I'm not able to get back to the store in the near future.

Answer 1

wow...i dont think anyone completely read your question did they? i've used this before and it will work but its not sanitary so you need to get to a shop as soon as possible and find appropriate replacement balls-anyone should be able to help you at the stores (hottopic, piercing studio, etc) tear the eraser off a pencil and stick it on there...its easier to do w/ externally threaded jewelry, which i hope you werent pierced with, but it can be done w/ internal. also a small bit of tape wrapped around the one end would work...like i said though-these arent great things to be doing with a new piercing so hurry to a shop

Answer 2

A lot of places are saling gages now like hot topic and claires. But if you earing is a complete hoop when the ball is in it can be hard getting the ball in. If you go back to the parlor you can buy a new ear ring or just the ball but at another store the ball might not fit that ear ring. also as most peircing parlors they change earings for free or a VERY small fee.

Answer 3

I just got mine pierced a week ago! Just go to any place that does piercings and ask for another ball. You might have to pay or you might not.

Answer 4

If you have any other same sized ring...with a ball..you can just take the ball from that...like..a bellybutton ring..or a tounge ring..any ring with a ball..You dont have to replace the whole ring...

Answer 5

You can go to any place that sells them and buy a replacement.
