How do I take my cartilage earring off?

Answer 1

Make sure your hands are washed, first and foremost. Dirty hands can potentially cause problems. After that, just simply take the earrings off. Normally, studs that are used for piercing have a lock on them, so the back locks on and cant fall off. If you cant do it yourself, have someone help you. After removing them, make sure you still keep the holes clean as if the jewelry was still in them. Even though the jewelry is gone, they still need to be clean because they can still get infected.

Answer 2

If it's a stud, take it out like a normal earring. You might need someone to help you as mine was very tricky to get off when I did it myself, ask your mom/dad/family member to help if you need it :)

Answer 3

Ok so i got my ears pierced last year what i recommend you do is put some of the cleaning fluid on and then either go back to the piercer OR! get your mum to do it or someone with very gentle but strong hands!

let the hole air for a bit (5 mins NO LONGER) then pour some fluid back on and BABAM!! there you go stick some new earrings in and there ya have it!

i had to do this but after a while i forgot to clean them and the skin grew over the back and i had to get it surgically removed :S DONT WORRY THO! Just look after it don't do what i did and think after 6 weeks u don't need to clean it YOU DO!! until a few months have fun xx

Answer 5

I'm not really surehow, but you're not supposed to take it out for a while, so I would just wait.

Answer 6

If you have a standard hoop or screw piercing, it's a matter of undoing the hoop's latch or unscrewing the back of the earring. Do it after you've washed your hands and be gentle.

Answer 7

you take it out the same way you take out your first ear piercing.
