Ok, Im 18 and dont have very many rebellious moments so my bestfriend talked me into getting my cartilage pierced.
Its a 14 gage hoop with the ball and I have NO idea how to remove it and its starting to worry me... I twisted it to what appears to be the left and it just stays the same and then to the right and it seems to get tighter... I could possibly call the place I got it pierced at but if anybody has suggestions on how they took theirs out or ways to remove it please tell me because I need advice... thank you :) |

Hmm...maybe turning it to the left is the way to loosen it. Try holding the front part of the earring and twisting to the left. If that doesn't work, then I don't know, I'm sorry. I'll ask my friend, she has a cartilage piercing.

Well, first of all I was taking it out to change it because I got it in a couple days before thanksgiving and its time that I can switch it. Also...my parents are kinda anti piercing type ppl and I dont want to freak my mom out when she sees it... oh and the fact that a piece of metal is stuck in my ear and I cant get it out is kinda freaking me out lol. |

First of all, you probably shouldn't have gotten a hoop during your first piercing.
But anyways, try putting some water on a cotton ball & sliding out the earring that way. There should be a hook or something in the back. Perhaps its stuck in your cartilage hole. Try moving it out & unhooking it then. |

Also, its a ball there is no hook its just a hoop connected at the ball and I move around in the hole and nothing is stuck in it. Thank you for your suggestion though. |

Righty tighty, lefty loosey. Remember that. If you turn the ball enough, it should come out. That, or it's not a turning type at all and all you have to do is get someone to pull the ring apart from the ball.

^lol I was just going to say that.
Lefty loosy, righty tighty. If worst comes to worst, ask a friend to do it. and if he/she can't get it off, then go back to the place you got it done. =MOVED TO HEALTH= |

Apparently its a CBR and I have to go to the place that actually pierced it and get them to remove it for me by using special pliers to pry open the ring away from the ball. Thank all of you for your help!!! |
