when they press the button to pierce your cartlige it like takes control of the stud and forces it to come out and stick into your ear.
The ball screws on securely.
hold the inside with your teeth and you spin the ball to the right
depends on the ball you are using!
Both balls should be removable unless you purchased lower quality jewellery then who knows.
The disadvantages of using ball screws are that they are expensive, they can be back driven and they don't work effectively for hand-fed machine tools.
Depends on the ring. If it's a stud then you change it like any other ring. If its captive ball or something like that then, well with mine, you have to pull the sides apart until the ball pops out.
There is no such piercing as a "cartridge piercing." There is, however, a cartilage piercing and they can be taken out. After you get your cartilage pierced, you need to wait 6 to 8 weeks for it to heal completely. If you decide to take it out, it will close up automatically in just a few weeks.
Well if it's a barbell, unscrew the ball and remove the jewellery, if it's a captive bead ring, pop the bead out and rotate the jewellery out of the piercing.
If you mean a ball of hard skin, then it's only your body healing around your piercing. Since you have something permanent in there, it will heal around it and act kind of like a scar. If you remove it, it will still be there. I have that in my navel and septum.
-.- depending on the jewelry.. remove ball(s) by twisting counter clockwise and pull out jewelry (hold surrounding skin to prevent stretching if necessary)
If the piercing was done with a captive bead ring ( the ring has a bead on it ) push the bead to one side of the ring , you need to apply a bit of force to get the bead to pop off the ring. Once the bead is out roll the ring out of the piercing. If you are still having issues best visit your local body piercer for assistance.
Go back top the shop and ask them to help.
You can use labrets in them but not navel jewelry. The curved jewelry doesn't really look right and its an uneven weight. If the threading and gauge match, you can take a ball or dangle from the navel jewelry and put it on the end of the labret bar.

It depends on how thick the earring is you were pierced with (and the gauge of the ball-closure ring you want to put in it). When I got pieced back in 1993, they were still using HUGE thick studs (ugh, and now i just sHuDDER to think of mall piercings and piercing guns, and how evil and unsafe they are) -- yet my mom said they were THIN compared to what she was pierced with back in the 60s. The piercing studs I see now at mall places are way thinner than the ones I had back in 1993. If you were pierced with the thicker type studs, you should be able to get a (16 gauge) ball-closure ring in with no problem. (14 gauge body jewelry is very common too though, and that would be too big). If you got pierced with the thinner, newer studs (closer to 18 gauge, which is how thick regular, non-piercing studs are, or they can be even thinner), then you could probably still do it but it would pinch a bit at first (it would stretch it). You didn't specify, so I assumed that you were talking about a lobe (NOT a cartilage) piercing. If you're talking about a cartilage piercing, you should pop into a piercing place and find a nice piercer to ask for advice.
This depends on the kind of piercing.If it is a barbell, (a slightly curved piece with two balls on the end, most common) grasp the bottom of the barbell with your thumb on the bottom ball and you index finger gently pushing the piecing out away from your face. Then, use your other hand to carefully unscrew the ball at the top. Usually turning the ball to the left will loosen it, but you'll have to experiment.If the piercing is a ring (a circular ring with one ball in the middle), then gently grasp the piercing where it meets your skin, holding it in place. Then, using your other hand, work at the ball in the middle, trying to push it up and out. If your piercing starts to hurt, leave it alone for about an hour and then try again. These are by far the most difficult to remove.
I have been missing my top ball for three years with no problem
