Nipple piercings are a great way to show off your style.You can choose from nipple bars, rings, and shields when your piercing is healed.Before you can get jewelry, make sure to remove the initial piercing.You will be ready to put in your jewelry.You can change your nipple piercings with a little practice.
Step 1: You should wash and dry your hands.
Rub your hands together with soap for at least 20 seconds.Make sure the soap is in between your fingers.You can rinse off your hands with warm water once you have scrubbed them.They need to be air-dry or wiped on a paper towel.If you don't have any soap or water, use a hand sanitizer.
Step 2: There are metal balls at the end of bar jewelry.
The nipple bar has a metal ball on one side.The ball has to come off the jewelry.Set this aside in a safe place so you don't lose it.When removing body jewelry, keep in mind the "righty-tighty" rule.
Step 3: You can remove the metal bar from your nipple.
The ball is still attached to the end of the metal bar.Carefully remove the bar from the piercing.You don't want to damage the piercing if you force it out or remove it quickly.Set the bar aside so you don't lose it.If you can't remove the bar, contact a piercer.If you have a nipple shield, slide this part off first.
Step 4: If you misplace the bar, put it back in the metal ball.
Remove the metal ball from the end of the bar.Continue until the ball is securely attached to the rest of the jewelry.If you put this item in a jewelry box or other secure place, you won't lose it later.Purchase a jewelry box for your nipple ornaments if you don't already have one.
Step 5: Use soap and water to wash your hands.
Put soap on your hands and lather it all over your fingers and palms.Use antibacterial soap to make your hands sterile.Rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds to remove soap from them.You should dry your hands with a towel or air-dry them after this.You should wash your wrists and hands.
Step 6: A pair of scissors should be put into the ring.
Take a pair of scissors and put them in the nipple ring.Make sure that the scissors are closed before you place them near your nipple.The scissors should only be slid through the ring.To be extra cautious, use a small pair of safety scissors.
Step 7: To loosen the ring, open the scissors slightly.
The edges of the ring should be torn apart by opening the scissors slowly.You don't want to damage the jewelry in the process so use slow, methodical motions.Continue opening the scissors until the hoop opens.There are nipple rings that have a clasping mechanism.To open the ring, pinch your fingers on both sides.As you remove the ring, try to angle the tips of the scissors away from your nipple.
Step 8: Take out the jewelry by removing the metal hoop from your nipple.
It is better to angle the ring so that it is easier to remove the piercing.Carefully ease the metal ring out of the piercing.If the bead is attached to one side of the hoop, slide the ring out via the other side.If you have a problem getting a nipple ring out, you should contact a professional.
Step 9: You should wash your jewelry.
A small glass of warm water is needed to create a cleaning mixture.For 5 minutes, put your ring, bar, or shield in the solution.It's important to stir in the salt.If your jewelry doesn't have any extra accessories, boiling the metal is the way to go.
Step 10: The bar should be moved through the piercing to keep it in place.
Pinch the end of the metal bar with 2 fingers.Unless the bar slides through the piercing, work slowly.Place the jewelry with slow, careful movements if it doesn't come in.You don't want to damage your nipple if you force in any jewelry.If you can't get your jewelry to fit, ask a piercing professional for help.
Step 11: If you use a bar, screw the ball on the end of the jewelry.
Attach the piercing to the bar with a metal ball.Use your fingers to keep the metal piece in place as you turn the ball clockwise.The metal ball should be secured to the rest of the jewelry.
Step 12: If you are wearing a shield, place the bar in the center slot.
Set the bar in the center with the nipple shield on top.Make sure the metal is centered in the nipple shield.The metal bar should be inserted through the shield opening and the piercing to secure the jewelry.There is a special slot for the bar to go through.If the shield isn't secure, make sure the bar goes through this.
Step 13: When wearing a nipple ring, make sure the jewelry is secured with a bead.
Take the bead-free end of the nipple ring and slide it through the piercing.Don't try to force it in or push it through quickly, instead use gentle, careful movements as you guide the ring through.Attach both ends of the ring with a metal bead.There are different clasping mechanisms for nipple rings.When securing your jewelry, keep this in mind.
