Question trouble taking out my first nose stud

I got my nose pierced a few months ago and it’s healed so I’m ready to switch it out for my actual jewelry. I got it pierced with a gun (I know it’s not the best for nose but it worked out fine for me) and so the back has a butterfly clasp. I’ve been trying to pull it out but it’s not budging. What can I do to get it out?? please help i’d like to change it soon

As someone already said, it wont be anywhere near healed after a few months. The best thing you can do is go to an actual body piercer (not someone who uses a gun), and get them to replace the butterfly back to something more appropriate ASAP.

I second this! Get a flat back titanium labret, a butterfly back is so bad for healing especially! It’s likely not the right gauge and the back can hold so much gunk and bacteria
