I had my ears pierced 6 weeks ago. Trying to take my 1st studs out. They're not budging How can I remove them?

Question

My ears aren't sore anymore, and I've been cleaning and turning them. They just seem stuck, and the backs are so tight. Am I just not strong enough, and are there any tricks to it?

Answer 1

Try some warm water to loosen things up then gently twist the earring in your ear. Should come out easily after that! If you're having trouble with the earring back, just give it a good yank while holding onto the stud. Lots of piercing earrings have a really tight fitting back.

Answer 2

Alcohol

Answer 3

There is a possibility you are just frightened to pull too hard. I know when I got my first piercings I was afraid to pull as hard as I needed to. If they are just regular studs, try pulling a little harder or go back to your piercer if you are really concerned;)

Answer 4

those backs are tricky... sometimes mine were so hard tight i got tiny needle nose plyers to open the back a tad and then slip it off.

of course having to close the back again so it will stay put when i put them back on.

that's my tip. just don't break them.

well studs are cheap, always get more in case of damage, losing them....

:D

Answer 5

try to take them off after showering. u need to pull hard sometimes especially the the backing has clicked in. u can ask your parents or roommate or bf or whatever help you remove them. it should be easier for them since the angle will be different.

Answer 6

unfortunitly i have many piercings, and to get the first earings out you must take pliars and pull each side of the earing . this is how i do it and it worked everytime

Answer 7

Try warm water with salt. The warmer the better.

Answer 8

they only feel like that cuz those are the first pair

Answer 9
