I don't know my left and rights even tho I repeatedly get told then I always forget so I've made mine to tight to unscrew and just had this sitting in my ear for 2 years
i’m going to my piercer to get it out today and i’m nervous as fuck ive never taken it out and it needs to come out for sports and i’m gonna cry like a little bitch omg i’m buggin
DevonPaige same I need to play soccer and you can’t have any jelwery and like it’s stuck and it dosent wanna to twist and I never taken it out ever since I put in I left it in but now that’s soccers coming I need to take it out
I took over 3 hours trying to unscrew my cartilage until i found the righty tighty and lefty loosey saying and it helped me so much to focus on turning it one way instead of guessing which way it went. Thank You!!!
@@WalaaBahafzallah omg thank you so much!! I already changed mine, but I was struggling so hard with getting it open lollll, I now got a mini snake(it's a piercing.. no animals were harmed) in there. I was so proud lol
This video literally saves me. My piercings has had been bleeding and having pus since I got them for probably 4 months. I finally gave up and tried to take them off but they are the screwed ones. I used a tweezer instead of the tool and it worked too!
I have my Helix done over a year and a half, ive had two rounds of antibiotics in that time despite cleaning it, it kept getting so infected my ear was swelling up. It still gets infected now, just wont heal at all!
ANOTHER MAJOR TIP THAT JUST HELPED ME (Tragus): Since using the gloves were still slippery and the ball was screwed on SO TIGHTLY, everytime i'd try twist the ball the whole bar would twist around with it so it wasn't budging at all. But I used a pair of tweezers to hold onto the back of the piercing where the flat back is. This prevented the bar from twisting around with the ball! BUT IT WORKED
Literally just came across this vid and used the glove method, and I can now say after 5 months I’ve finally been able to take the piercing out. Thank you!😭
The piercer i went to placed it very crooked and that made piercing go through alot more skin than normal and that made it hard for me to grip the ends and screw it off but after alot of bleeding and crying i finally did it. On my right hand I put double sided tape on my index and thumb and gripped the back with my left hand. It took alot of time but it worked :)
the piercing is healed, i had it for 2 years, i did take it out before but the ball is just gone tight now, and i tried taking it out but it started bleeding
Please say it louder so my family hear you 😂😂 I definitely don’t feel like one, but I know for some I am, a weird feeling but I’m glad I could help! Colour outside the lines and wherever you want, it’s your art 🖤 Even if someone bought you the canvas!
Just for anyone who was stuck like me, i dont know how common this is but, worth a shot- i have a stud with a ball backing just as a second lobe piercing, I figured out its the FRONT of the earring that screws of and NOT the ball, the little rhinestone stud in my case was the screw. If ur piercing works like mine, it works kinda of backwards just screw the front of counter clockwise (left). Hope this helps anyone who is stuck!
Thank you so much for this! I would never have been able to do it without this video. I ordered a hemostat online from Amazon for about $9.99 CAD and it worked perfectly. My piercing was actually screwed on from the opposite side of yours, so I would recommend that if anyone uses a hemostat and is still struggling from one side, try the other side. Once I realized my mistake, it screwed off in seconds, lol.
Thank you, I love you. Quarantine has been a bitch and I've been so afraid to change out my piercing. Because of you I was able to do it myself!! You're the best. ♡
first , thank you for the video its a life saver second , I don't know if any one mention that .. if you are doing that in front of the mirror screw the ball to the right side not left :) I lost 1 week doing to the left and its was the opposite
This video helped me take out my industrial piercing that ive never took out for 4 years since it was first pierced !! The forceps i brought off hole hearted and they worked like magic thank you soo much! Im sick of going to the piercers to change jewellery im so happy i can do it myself now !!
Wow that arrived quick I only posted it yesterday!!! I’m so glad it worked for you Narmeen and do let me know if you need anything else (preferably via email though I only opened this comment as I recognised your name) 🖤
@@AyshBanaysh Aw! Thanks so much i definitely will ! It did get here super quick ive ordered so many things way before i ordered the forceps and i cant believe when i opened the envelope that it was them! And an extra extra thank you to you for getting them to me so quickly despite whats going on i appreciate the hard work x ❤
UPDATES: If you're looking for the tools I use at the end, you can buy them here ayshbanaysh.com/haemostat [UPDATED LINK] These are not tweezers. Please don't come and ask be for help saying you tried everything if you haven't tried these. This is what I will suggest. Tweezers may work if you're extremely lucky but they are not an equivalent.
For anyone who has been trying and trying and nothing works...maybe try just pulling them apart cause it turned out mine wasn't a screw off barbell at all...
This is my first piercing, I got it in September 2019 and this was the first time I took it out (June 2020). I was actually pretty scared it'll get infected (I now put it back in but I'm still scared) and here I read how people remove their helix after like a month...
Awesome tips after a decade of trying to get mine out I finally managed with the righty tight lefty loosely method with one final tug using a grippy instrument
OMG YALL I FIGURED IT OUT. so all I just did was pulled it off, you don't need to screw it off unless it's the flat back but if has a regular back to it you're gonna have to add a little more force and pull the back off of it. (I wrote the same comment on another video but I hope this is also helpful)
Had to take mine out for an MRI and put it off til last minute. Didn't have latex gloves but I found balloons. Took some work but I got it after hours of trying!
Same ear piercing location just over two months. Used of latex gloves and, olive oil. It worked! Thanks for giving tme he nerves to do this, otherwise l probably would have gone to a Doctor to remove.
This worked! I only had rubber gloves at hand, so I used 1 rubber glove to hold the back of the piercing and using no gloves on the other hand in attempt to twist it. I had a labret piercing in my ear helix and when i tried to twist the ball with no gloves the entire piercing would just turn around in my ear 😂😂 so thank you
I got my helix piercing out that i had for 2 years! But i had to put it back in bc the new piercing i bought was too short😔 And now im worried its gonna fall off bc its not as tightly screwed anymore! To get it out i used a pair of tweezers and fish bone tweezers. Before that i tried some gloves and other things to pinch it with but thats what finally worked for me. Idk if it was a safe method but it worked like a charm so im happy about it.
Woooooooow I clicked on this video after trying to remove this piercing for some time and FAILING MISERABLY. I paused before watching just give my piercing one more tugaroo (an equally hopeless and optimistic tugaroo) and tHE DANG THANG CAME OUT. RIGHT NOW. AFTER ALL THIS TIME.
Literally just attempted this and it did not work. BUT I GOT INNOVATIVE. TIP: Cut a small piece of the latex glove off (i.e. the finger tip of the glove), poke a tiny hole through the middle of it, wrap the hole around the jewel to isolate it, THEN untwist and pull or just pull. It is going to hurt but I promise this worked! I thought of this idea because it the same concept as a dentist isolating a tooth for a filling or something. I felt so much relief once the piercing came out. Mine was very irritated to the point where skin was almost covering the piercing so it HAD to go. I think my bar was a little too snug.
OMG thank you so much. After hours of attempting to take it off (unsuccessfully) after watching your video I was able to take it off. I had no idea what way to twist but I listened to you and it worked! I also think wearing gloves for grip helped a lot. My ears thank you!!!!!
This may be a dumb question. But is it left on your own perspective, or left, looking at the piercing from an outside perspective. Like do you, twist it inwards or outwards to take it off?
Not dumb at all! I always have to picture it in my head. Outside perspective, so if you were unscrewing a ball on your ear lobe outside left would be right from your perspective. For your right nostril left would be towards you, for your left nostril it’s away from you etc. hope that helps!
For some reason the man who did my nose piercing used a flat bottom screw ball piercing. All my friends that have had there nose pierced either had a screw in or L shape... I can’t seem to unscrew it 🤷🏼♀️
That’s what I use as the L and hook ones can fall out easier and I just find labret studs heal better as there’s less movement. If this tutorial doesn’t work for you I’d suggest going to see your piercer :)
Hi mine is a ball too but mine isn’t fully healed but I can help, all u have to do it’s get the ball in grip and twists the back out till it comes off and pull out the earing
