If it is a captive belly ring you may go to the place you got it peirced and let them take it out for you, or.... you can do what i did, be very careful and take sizzorz gently try to cut the top of the ring near the ball. My flew off. Then steralize the new ring with soap and put it in.

Good to go! A piercer will use ring closing pliers. You don't have any. Get a pair of needle-nose pliers and wrap the tips in electrical tape. You will probably also need a taper. First be sure it's healed. If the ring won't turn freely it's not ready to be changed. Use the pliers to spread the ring a bit--put the pliers in the ring and spread them a bit. Set the ball aside. Remove the ring from the piercing. If you have a taper, lubricate it and work it into the piercing. Put the end of the new ring into the taper and pull it gently through the piercing. When the taper's all the way out of your piercing, the ring will be in. Put the ball between the tips of the new ring and squeeze it closed with the pliers. If this new jewelry is a curved barbell, once it's in just screw the ball on.
