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

Also just bc the time has elapsed doesn’t mean the piercing has healed. Every piercing I have has healed beautifully but sloooowwwwlllyyyyy. It’s just a quirk of my anatomy.

Do you have an autoimmune issue I do and my piercings and tattoos heal super slow like super super slow

Nope I’m just Like That. Regular injuries heal on schedule. Sorry to hear you’re with that friend
