I just changed my lip ring from a hoop to a place holder, and then finally to a short diamond stud. Well the diamond stud will not unscrew from its' stem. I have tried unscrewing it over and over, but I can not get it! HELP!!


Is there something I should try or doctor or piercing parlor?

Not a doctor, stayed at a holiday inn. Wonder if you are trying to unscrew in wrong direction?
Try olive oil.

Hey, I've been trying to unscrew the right direction ((counter clockwise))
Ill try olive oil though.. and ill get back to you. Thnks

Good luck, in the panic, I coud see that close getting turned around.

I have trouble getting a good grip on my eyebrow ring unless I hold it with tweezers to keep it steady. You could try that...

This is horrible it won't unscrew!! I've tried olive oil... I've tried someone else holding it...
I've tried needle-nose plyers... and I've tried tweezers!!

HELP!!

Go to a piercing parlor and have them look at it. Hopefully they'll be able to get it off.

Hello I had the same problem. Mine now I can unscrew... is it in your lip?
If it is grip it between your teeth and make sure your hands are dry and try and twist it, if this doesn't work, maybe someone with some more muscle might be able to get it for you ;)

Wonder if you could make something, this is for earrings:

I am having this same problem; I bought a new lip ring (a stud) and I can't even get the ball off! It's as if it's screwed on! The people refuse to take it back, (which I understand why) and my mum won't buy me a new one. Its really pretty with a diamond in it and I want to wear it :[

I JUST had this problem 2 seconds ago.. I got a cold wash cloth and held the end with my teeth, and twisted the ball to the right with the cloth. Came right off in no time.

Grab the inside part with your teeth and use a towel to unscrew the ball.
That's how I got mine out and it was stuck for a long time.

Me too! I need help -.- I hope I didn't waist my money for this,
