More info would be helpful...is the piercing fully healed? Are you having trouble getting the ring in or placing the bead? If it's fully healed %26amp; you can't get the ring in, i'd suggest lubing your ear up w/ some liquid antibacterial soap %26amp; keep on trying to slide it through. If the piercing wasn't fully healed %26amp; you tried to exchange rings then part of the piercing might've already started healing %26amp; you'll have to get it re-pierced.Can't get Captive Beaded Ring back in rook-help and advice?
ive changed my rook piercings (i have 2 in same rook) a bunch of times but the first couple tries were tricky.. the older the piercing is the easier it is to change, just because the skin is healed and used to having a ring in. the key is to get the right angle. depending on how the piercer angled the needle depends on which direction the ring has to be angled. sometimes its easier to go from top down or from underneath up. if youre trying to put a barbell in it's usually difficult to do it yourself because of the small parts. if you really want your ring back in and cant get it yourself, you can always go to wherever you got it done, or even some other piercing place and theyll usually put it back in for you no charge (just make sure you give a tip!)


also if the rook is swollen from being poked with a ring that wont go in, hold an ice cube on it for a few minutes, itll help with the swelling and pain!
