Use ring openers and do it gently so you don't spread it too much and cant get the ball to stay in. Wrap the pliers in something soft first or they will scratch the inside of the ring.
Speaking of captive rings... are these safe to use in a belly button piercing? I seen a girl who had one in her belly button, and I liked the way it looked, but I also heard that it can fuck with the piercing...anyone know?
i'd just go to a piercing studio and get them to put it in, they'll do it for free. i don't think captive rings would fuck with a bellybutton piercing, i hear they're easier to clean than barbells but you're better off to ask your piercer or the person you get to change it.
Thanks Psyche; I'm going to call the piercer today and ask what she thinks I'm sick of putting the same old shit in my belly button. I NEED A CHANGE.
