How do you take out a tragus earing?

Answer 1

Assuming that you had the piercing done with a CBR (Captive Ball Ring) you would be best to go to a professional piercer and ask them to remove it.

This type of jewelry is held together by the tension of the ring against the dimples in the ball. Attempting to remove it yourself could easily result in damage to the tissues, and significant pain.

However if it was pierced with a horseshoe, or stud, then all you should have to do is unscrew the ball and carefully slide it out. You may find that wearing some nitrile gloves will aid you in getting the grip needed to loosen the ball.

But, in any case, most professional piercers will do jewelry changes/removals for free. If they do charge, it's only a few dollars. Trust me, a few dollars is worth preventing the pain and potential disfigurement.

Answer 2

The same way you got it in there, go back and see your professional body piercer for assistance in removing or changing the jewellery. It's the safest way to get it done.
