How do you keep a piercing in without a ball?
If you lost the ball, it is important to try and keep the bar in the piercing. Things you can use short term to help are – a piece of clean pencil eraser, Blutac or chewing gum (as a last resort). Balls are more secure on internally threaded jewellery, but either way – Remember to check the ends regularly.
How do you know if your belly button piercing is too short?
If it feels uncomfortable or presses into your skin too much, then, yes, it is most likely too short. I find longer jewelry always a little more “safe” and comfortable. Look up “J-Bars” too, they seem to work pretty well for me. It is most definitely NOT normal!
Why did my belly button piercing fell out?
The tissue has contracted due to the absence of your bar. You may have taken the jewelry out too early, as some navel piercings can take a year (or more) to heal completely. Make sure your hands and the jewelry are clean, then spray your saline solution (you should have some) onto both entry and exit holes.
Which way do I tighten my piercing?
Which way do you have to unscrew to get your piercing loose? Seen from above, you tighten your piercing clockwise and loosen it again. In the mirror, it’s reversed and that can be confusing! Try to think of it in the same way as when you tighten or unscrew the cap of a bottle.
