How do you loosen the balls on a barbell on a nipple piercing?

You unscrew them once the piercing is healed enough to withstand the bit of pressure needed.
as it was said be sure to let it heal sufficiently. Make sure your hand are clean and dry, and that you're in an area with good light to see in case the ball falls. Grip it firmly between two fingers and twist - it might take a while depending on how tight the piercer put it on.

How do you measure a nipple bar?
Well a nipple barbell is measured from inside the first ball on the shaft to the other ball inside on the shaft. It's the inside measurement you need not including the thread on balls. In a nipple (male of female) the barbell should be 2~3 millimeters longer than the actual nipple is across to ensure there is room for cleaning and enhancement. The nipple will become larger in diameter as the piercing heals, this applies to both female and male nipple piercings.
Can you put a barbell in your nostril piercing?
You can but the balls on barbells are usually huge and will look strange in a nostril piercing.
How do you tighten screws on your nipple piercing for barbells?
The threaded balls on barbells are to be tightened by turning the ball clockwise to tighten and counter clockwise to loosen. grab one ball with one hand (left ball with the left hand) and turn the right ball clock wise with the right hand, when you can no longer tighten the ball without it slipping in your fingers both balls will be tight. There you go you have just tightened the balls on your barbell.
What if your belly button ring falls out?
Well if you still have the barbell and you can get it back in the piercing without damaging the piercing, then put it in and tape it down till you can get thread on balls for the ends. If you think you have issues of not being able to get the barbell back in go see your local body piercer and have them put it in for you. They can taper the piercing and put the barbell back in without damaging the piercing.
Can you replace the screws on a new nipple piercing from the standard ball to a decorative one?
So long as the threads are the same there will be no problem. Be carefull though that you don't damage the new piercing by handeling it roughly. Don't forget about keeping everything sterile including the new balls.
What type of barbell can be used for a tongue piercing Is the plastic nickel free ones okay?
of course not free is always bad quality have you ever bought something cheaper because you thought it was just as good as the more expensive one and after a while it breaks right well with the same thing with a piercing the cheap ones or the free ones are always bad cause you end up swallowing the balls because they break because it plastic its better to get the surgical metal barbell with hard plastic balls they don't break but plastic balls you can swallow them i have a lot of experience in piercing and i know my piercings i have had a tongue piercing for almost a year now and i have changed them a lot and han many different kinds of piercings I never swallowed 1 though cause i buy the good ones but i have heard many stories of people swallowing balls before so I recommend to buy the good ones and also the complete surgical metal ones are not as good either cause sometimes you can end up biting it and it hurts a lot it can also end up breaking your teeth so get hard plastic not metal balls but get the metal barbell

How can you close up an ear piercing?
This depends on the kind of piercing.If it is a barbell, (a slightly curved piece with two balls on the end, most common) grasp the bottom of the barbell with your thumb on the bottom ball and you index finger gently pushing the piecing out away from your face. Then, use your other hand to carefully unscrew the ball at the top. Usually turning the ball to the left will loosen it, but you'll have to experiment.If the piercing is a ring (a circular ring with one ball in the middle), then gently grasp the piercing where it meets your skin, holding it in place. Then, using your other hand, work at the ball in the middle, trying to push it up and out. If your piercing starts to hurt, leave it alone for about an hour and then try again. These are by far the most difficult to remove.
Tongue piercing problems?
The list of problems with tongue piercings can be quite long by condensed to a few simple things.Galvanic corrosionDental damage to teethGum erosionThe above are the big three, which I will explain in a bit of detail.Galvanic corrosion occurs when unlike metals are submerged in and electrolyte. This would be stainless steel thread on balls on a titanium barbell shaft. (unlike metals) The electrolyte is the saliva in the mouth which is acidic, just like a car battery with lead and zinc plate in acid an electrical field is formed which can over time destroy the metal of the barbell (either the steel or the titanium) this can also lead to sore throats and oral irritation.Dental damage to the teeth is generally due to clients not getting a shorter barbell in the tongue piercing once the swelling goes down, this in concert with playing with the barbell against the teeth can cause chipping and wear on the tooth enamel.Gum erosion again is due to the failure to get the shorter barbell in the piercing once the initial swelling has eased, the balls rubbing inside the mouth can wear out the inner lining of the mouth and guns causing root exposure and tooth sensitivity.
What is better a metal tongue pierce or platic?
Some newbie piercers (under 5 years) will use plastic for the barbell shaft in tongue piercings, more experienced and old school body piercers will stay with metal shafts for the piercing. Plastic tends to weaken and is cheap*, very cheap to use (*Method of making more money from the client for less material costs). It's not the shaft that damages the teeth it's the balls and plastic balls are not cool on new tongue piercings because they can break and you loose the piercing because the barbell comes out. I am old school get it done with a metal barbell, two weeks later when the swelling goes down you get a shorter step down barbell, two weeks later you can change the balls to what ever you want. But stay with the metal initially to ensure the piercing heals and is cleaned properly during the early stages of healing. Compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges, check out the prices and ask questions like you just did, if it makes sense then go for it but don't get caught in a cash grab at your expense. Get what you pay for and that's a piece of metal in your tongue see a professional body piercer.
You just received and industrial piercing The barbell that they put in your ear has the balls on the end basically touching your skin which makes it almost impossible to clean around them Did they use?
Well the barbell should be long enough so you can push your hand against your ear and flatten out the cartilage and it should still feel comfortable, like laying down and putting your head on a pillow. You should not feel the barbell pulling on your ear cartilage, if it does then you should go see your piercer and explain that the barbell is too short for reasonable and comfortable wear. If they are a good shop they will get it squared away for you without any hassle.
How long do you have to wait to change the balls on the barbell after getting tongue done?
