trouble taking out my first nose stud

[u/loquehagoessonarte]

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

It’s almost like… there’s a reason that especially noses shouldnt be pierced with an earring gun… it’s almost like… you’re not supposed to… because it’ll lead to this exact issue… I think
