How do I take out my ear guages?

Question

A few weeks ago I got my ears stretched from a size 18 to a size 14. I now have to take them out for a few hours, but I cant figure out how! They are the normal size 14's that most tattoo parlors will give you, they're steel-looking hoops that have a ball in the middle. I've tried pulling them apart and unscrewing the ball, but I have no idea what to do next!

Answer 1

ok all you have to do is grab the loop and the ball seperately and very firmly then pull them apart they should pop right off just make sure you dont tugg your ear while your doing it.

Answer 2

Hi, sounds like you have bcrs (known as cbrs in America) which is a ring thats held shut by a small ball with indents in it- so you cant unscrew the ball you need to "pop" the ball out of place. Just tug the ball in the middle and it SHOULD pop out. Sometimes these are tricky though- espicially if they are new. You could go back to the place that put them in- they have these things called Ring pliers and these are designed espically to remove this ball. They would remove em for you for free. However, if you cant be bother to make this trip I suggest you get a friend on hand with a pair of pliers and place the the clamps on the ball and pull- obviously whilst holding the ring in place AND your ear- you dont want to tear your ear to shreds!!! It's safer to go get the place to remove it, if you cant pop it outta place, because they know what they are doing, pliers do work also, you just have to be careful!!

Good luck and I hope I helped.
