k, so i just bought a new, smaller nose ring cause the standard one i got was too big, and i'm really struggling to get the ball back in. blah, i should have just paid the extra 10 bucks for them to do it at new tribe (the piercing shop) but i've already got the ring in and i don't want to sleep with it in half open.

does anyone have any tips on a good way to get it closed? it's already bleedy a little from my last attempt and i really don't want to make it any worse..
it looks like this one.


(stupid, i know, but i didn't realize it would be so bloody difficult. )

oh god, i have terrible trouble with those things.
with my lip ring i used to sit and click it in and out to try and loosen it before i put it in my lip, but i still had problems.
could you not find a piercer who'd put it in for free? or ask someone else to help you put it in?

yeah, i think i'm just going to go back to the piercer tonight after work. thanks though.

you need to open the ring wider and then pull it closed around the ball, but unless you have the tools (or a really good pair of pliers), it's probably not going to happen. go back to the shop.

yeah i tried pliers last night and they slipped( ) so i gave up (so as to not deform my face.) i'm on my way over to the piercer now.
thanks anyway./
