Nipple piercings are a fun way to show off your style.You can choose from nipple bars, rings, and shields when your piercing is healed.Before you can get jewelry, make sure to remove the initial piercing.You will be ready to put in your jewelry.You can change your nipple piercings with a little time and practice.
Step 1: You need to wash and dry your hands.
Rub your hands together with soap for at least 20 seconds.Make sure that the soap is in between your fingers.Warm water will wash your hands off.They should be air-dried or wiped on a paper towel.If you don't have any soap or water, use a hand sanitizer.
Step 2: There are metal balls at the end of bar jewelry.
The nipple bar has a metal ball on it.The ball must come off the jewelry.Set this aside in a safe place so that you don't lose it.If you remove body jewelry, keep in mind the "righty-tighty" rule.
Step 3: You can remove the metal bar from your nipple.
The ball is still attached to the metal bar.Carefully pull the bar out of the piercing.You don't want to damage the piercing if you force it out or remove it quickly.You don't want to lose the bar.If you can't remove the bar, contact a piercer.If you have a nipple shield, slide this part off first.
Step 4: You should put the bar back in the metal ball.
Remove the metal ball from the end of the bar.Continue until the ball is securely attached to the rest of the jewelry.If you put this item in a jewelry box or other secure place, you won't lose it later.You can make a jewelry box for your nipple ornaments if you don't already have one.
Step 5: Use soap and water to wash your hands.
Put soap on your hands and lather it all over your fingers and palms.To make your hands sterile, try using antibacterial soap.Rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds to get rid of soap.Don't forget to dry your hands with a towel or air-dry them after this.You should also wash your wrists and hands.
Step 6: Take a pair of scissors and put them in the ring.
Take a pair of scissors and put them in the nipple ring.Make sure the scissors are closed before you place them near your nipple.Only slide the scissors through the ring.To be extra cautious, use a small pair of safety scissors.
Step 7: To loosen the ring, open the scissors slightly.
To force the edges of the ring apart, open the scissors slowly.You don't want to damage the jewelry in the process, so use slow, methodical motions.Continue opening the scissors until the hoop opens up.There are nipple rings with a clasping mechanism.To open the ring, pinch your fingers on both sides.As you remove the ring, try to angle the tips of the scissors away from your nipple.
Step 8: Remove the metal hoop from your nipple.
It is better to angle the ring so that it is easier to pull out the piercing.Carefully remove the metal ring from the piercing.If the ring is attached to one side of the hoop, slide it out via the other side.If you have a problem getting a nipple ring out, contact a professional.
Step 9: You should wash your jewelry.
A small glass of warm water is all it will take to create a cleaning mixture.For 5 minutes, put your ring, bar, or shield in the solution.Make sure to stir in the salt.If your jewelry doesn't have any extra accessories, boiling the metal is a better option.
Step 10: The bar should be moved through the piercing to keep it in place.
Pinch the end of the metal bar with 2 fingers.Unless the bar slides through the piercing, work slowly.Place the jewelry with slow, careful movements if it doesn't go in.You don't want to damage your nipple if you force in jewelry.If you can't get your jewelry to fit, ask for help from a piercing professional.
Step 11: If you use a bar, screw the ball on the end of the jewelry.
Attach the piercing to the bar with a metal ball.Use your fingers to keep the metal piece in place as you turn the ball clockwise.The metal ball should be secured to the rest of the jewelry.
Step 12: If you are wearing a shield, place the bar in the center slot.
Set the bar in the center with the nipple shield on top.Make sure the metal is centered in the nipple shield.The metal bar should be inserted through the shield opening and piercing to secure the jewelry.There is a slot for the bar to go through.The shield won't be secure if the bar goes through this.
Step 13: When wearing a nipple ring, secure the jewelry with a bead.
Take the bead-free end of the nipple ring and slide it through the piercing.Don't try to force it in or push it through quickly, instead use gentle, careful movements as you guide the ring through.Wrap both ends of the ring with a metal bead.There are different clasping mechanisms for nipple rings.This is something to keep in mind when securing your jewelry.
