Whatever you do, DON"T REMOVE THE JEWELRY. It'll trap the infection and possibly create an abscess. Go to your doctor and get some antibiotics. They'll help clear up the infection much faster. Keep cleaning your piercing with the sea salt and change the jewelry if it isn't steel or glass.

Can you change a nipple ring on your own and how?

Yes, you can. During the initial healing period it is always best if you get your nipple ring changed by the piercer, but after your nipple piercing has healed completely, you can change it on your own, at will. Here's how: 1) Make sure that the new nipple ring which you intend to insert is disinfected properly. Cleaning it with some antibacterial soap often does the trick. In addition to the nipple ring, your hands as well as the nipple piercing should be cleaned thoroughly with antibacterial soap. 2) Now for removing the old nipple ring. You need to start by pressing your skin next to one hole of the nipple piercing. Keeping the skin pressed, you have to slowly remove the ring from the piercing bit by bit till it comes out completely. 3) The new nipple ring should be inserted in much the same way. You have to pinch your nipples to make the piercing visible and then put the ring into one hole. Slowly keep pushing the nipple ring further into the hole till you see it come out from the other hole. Once inserted fully, you simply need to close the ring or tighten any screws on the ring. If you are finding it a little difficult, you should oil your piercing and your new nipple ring with some water based lubricant before changing the nipple ring, as this will facilitate the process. Putting a hot compress on your skin or taking a hot shower just prior to changing your nipple ring also helps a lot as this makes your skin softer, which enables the nipple ring to be changed relatively easier. With practice, it will become very easy to change your nipple ring, and practice you will get aplenty. What with the thousands of varieties of nipple rings available nowadays, you might just end up changing your nipple ring very often. Hence the above advice is sure to come in handy, provided of course that you do have a nipple piercing!

No. A tongue stud is too long to be a good nipple ring. You'd wind up catching it on something and then you'd really be sorry.


When is it safe to change a nipple ring?

The piercing is similar to any other in terms of wait time. If the area does not become infected, you could probably change the ring in a week or two. To be sure, wait at least six weeks. If the nipple is sore(possible infection) do not try to take change it. Wait fr the area to fully heal. To make the change extra easy, change it in the shower.

What are the dangers with a nipple ring?

there are alot of risks to belly button piercings. I just had mine done in November as soon as I turned eighteen and this is what happened. It was fine for the first two months then I started changing it for other types of rings. I even bought my other rings from the place I got it pierced. But my body rejected it. It was foreign and it was in my body so it pushed my skin until there wasn't any skin left. It was painful and now I have an ugly scar but it should go away soon. Anyways it can also get infected which is totally different from rejection. If it gets infected you will have to put or take antibiotics and remove the ring because you can't keep it that way. It can also kill you if the infection isn't treated in time. But hey its your body and if you are a really sanitary person then this is for you.
