Wear latex gloves and try again. They really help grip the slick metal. Or get a friend/parent to help you. If that still doesn't work, just go to your piercer and ask them

Does it matter if you get a stud or a loop for your first earlobe piercing?

Answer I wear hoops, 1 gauge, 1 body piercing, and studs. If it is your first Ear Lobe piercing it is best to get pierced with a stud, and go for a good strong noncorrosive metal (14k or titanium, cheaper stuff like copper, NOT A GOOD MOVE!). Studs have a less chance of being ripped out or caught on anything, Cleaning is simple and healing is rather quick in my opinion. You should never get pierced with a hoop you cause complications with the healing process and your piercer should know that.Personally I wouldn't use a hoop because you will most likely changed the size of the hole. Studs are the way to go for the healing period with lobes. The process is quick and practically painless. But if you pierce any other part of your ear you are going to want to look for a piercer. - Hope that helped, Cheeky6682AnswerIt's better to start with a ring, a good quality ring made of 316LVM Steel, Titanium, or 14kt gold or better.Studs are made of cheap metal in most cases, and the design of the stud can impede your healing.AnswerI would advise a stud because I have found them more comfortable to sleep on and keep clean, but a hoop works as well.AnswerIt is easier to clean a hoop because it is harder to push the stud out to make sure the cleaning solution gets into the piercing but it is just personal preference.-Answer, Meyshi07- Well.. if you are ever wanting to wear a hoop, start with a hoop, its a LOT harder switching form a stud to a hoop because, well the stud is pierced straight,the hoop is curved, I got my cartilage pierced with a stud and had a hell of a time trying to wear a hoop, got all sorts of infected and took me a year to just give up and take the pain till the hoop fit and healed. I still have problems keeping the hoop comfortable at times. My advice go with a hoop if u plan on wearing one neways, and to the answer about rings catching on things, its reversed a stud catches on things easier than a hoop =PAnswer ; Get it pierced with a stud. After it heals then you can wear loops.ANSWER: Now, I don't know where there people are getting their information from, but it's best to go to a PROFESSIONAL PIERCER who would put a hoop in instead of a stud. When you pierce anything, it's going to swell. HOOPS allow the piercing to heal and also allows the piercing to have room to swell. Cartilage is completely different than the ear lobe, and should be treated differently.Piercing guns aren't very good for healing, because they actually blast the hole into your ear instead of making a clean hole.Cleaning hoops are simple. Just wash off the crusties in the shower with antibacterial soap (Dial works well) and put a little bit of antibiotic gel (Neosporin) on the edge of the piercing/ring and work in back and forth.(My credentials; I'm apprenticing at a body piercing shop.)

If your navel is pierced what should you do if you get pregnant?

You can keep your navel piercing until you start to show, then see your local piercer and get a flexable barbell put into the piercing. It's call a PTFE barbell and it will allow for the piercing to stretch without tearing the piercing. However be sure you are getting a PTFE barbell and not some other material. PTFE is biocompatable and will be accepted by the body without issues, I have used these for hundreds of my clients without problems.


Can the tongue be pierced with a clear barbell?

Plastics are never used for the initial tongue piercing if the service is provided by and experienced professional body piercer. Plastics can be used once the swelling had gone down and the tongue is ready for it's step down barbell (usually about two weeks after the piercing has been done). Plastics cause a false sens of security and people tend to bite and flex the barbell, this alone can prolong the healing period. If you want it done right go with the metal barbell do your aftercare and once the swelling has eased you can go to a plastic barbell, but be warned that should you have issues the metal barbell should be put back in to the piercing.

You just received and industrial piercing The barbell that they put in your ear has the balls on the end basically touching your skin which makes it almost impossible to clean around them Did they use?

Well the barbell should be long enough so you can push your hand against your ear and flatten out the cartilage and it should still feel comfortable, like laying down and putting your head on a pillow. You should not feel the barbell pulling on your ear cartilage, if it does then you should go see your piercer and explain that the barbell is too short for reasonable and comfortable wear. If they are a good shop they will get it squared away for you without any hassle.

How do you get rid of tongue piercing keloids?

The tongue doesn't form Keloids, the bumps on your tongue are possibly due to mismatched metals in the barbell. This is called galvanic corrosion and will cause the tongue to react by forming lumps by the piercing. Purchase a good quality barbell from a professional body piercing studio and replace the barbell in your tongue. You should start to see a change in the lumps within 48~72 hours. Junk jewellery is everywhere, be sure to purchase quality jewellery from a reputable vendor like a body piercing studio.


Can you get your tongue pierced with a retainer instead of surgical steel so it's not as noticeable?

No. Retainers are made of plastic which is not suitable for initial piercing. Initial piercing should always be done with a titanium barbell.
