Dan Clark Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Somehow, piercers manage to screw on stuff amazingly tight, I really dunno how they do it, I've only been pierced by women too. They always get it off super easy too. Best to go back to where you got it pierced, you usually get a free shorter bar/ring then. If not, just try bite down as hard as you can and get some pliers in there I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Well i've had my labret done and my side twice, and i've had this problem, best thing to do is go to your piercer and no doubt he'll get it off for you, or get some latex gloves and get some one to get it off.

Tomm Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hold the flat back bit with your teeth (takes some doing) and then unscrew it from the front with your fingers. I never had a problem with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Thomson Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 The Labret stud in my ear was a right bitch to get off after i got it done with that! I just used pliers for ages and it eventually came off!! They use latex gloves so they get uber grip on it....Get some gloves as well and it should come off easily enough....

Danny Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 If your really stuck im sure if the bars long enough you could get some side cutters in there and snip :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roozor Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 hold the middle with your teeth and then screw, or if that doesn't work make sure inside of your mouth is pretty dry and outside. Use latex rubber gloves. they grip like a motherbitch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Pete Wright says - Take a sheet of kitchen towle/or toilet paper, fold it over and place behind back of stud over the flat backing. Push forward and hold with finger and hold your lip. Unscrew ball, spike etc with fingers. Should it not then also use paper towel on that too and again push hard at both. A warm shower just befor removal can help. A piercer will only and should only use the paper towel method, and will only use a set of forsepes in extreme cases.
