Ok so i removed it without a blowtorch. Turns out it was the ball that was removable. Not the backing. Hope this helps everyone else struggling!

This video literally saves me. My piercings has had been bleeding and having pus since I got them for probably 4 months. I finally gave up and tried to take them off but they are the screwed ones. I used a tweezer instead of the tool and it worked too!

[@hollydoxtator7436]

LIFESAVER it took literally one second to unscrew with gloves unbelievable. Thank you!!!

[@tiff3289]

ANOTHER MAJOR TIP THAT JUST HELPED ME (Tragus): Since using the gloves were still slippery and the ball was screwed on SO TIGHTLY, everytime i'd try twist the ball the whole bar would twist around with it so it wasn't budging at all. But I used a pair of tweezers to hold onto the back of the piercing where the flat back is. This prevented the bar from twisting around with the ball! BUT IT WORKED

[@TemiloluwaSola]

😢 You are a live saver😢 For 3days now I can just get it off😅

[@lexa5649]

I don’t have gloves, currently melting down

I was struggling SOOO MUCH. And then I tried unscrewing with latex gloves on * boom* - and it was off. Literally the best tip ever

[@realsylvia843]

Thankyou so much, my Helix piercing was stuck. I tried the rubber gloves and it worked like a charm.

[@koolstargirl23579]

The piercer i went to placed it very crooked and that made piercing go through alot more skin than normal and that made it hard for me to grip the ends and screw it off but after alot of bleeding and crying i finally did it. On my right hand I put double sided tape on my index and thumb and gripped the back with my left hand. It took alot of time but it worked :)

[@jazzclark9300]

THANK YOU!!! I have had my piercing ball stuck for 2 years and I tried with rubber gloves and came off within seconds, I’m finally free! 😆

[@here4agoodtime99]

UR A LIFESAVER ive literally had my helix in for 6 months because i couldnt unscrew it and i just did aishsjwjwiwjwhsjjs

[@WalaaBahafzallah]

first , thank you for the video its a life saver second , I don't know if any one mention that .. if you are doing that in front of the mirror screw the ball to the right side not left :) I lost 1 week doing to the left and its was the opposite

[@tararothenberg1006]

Just for anyone who was stuck like me, i dont know how common this is but, worth a shot- i have a stud with a ball backing just as a second lobe piercing, I figured out its the FRONT of the earring that screws of and NOT the ball, the little rhinestone stud in my case was the screw. If ur piercing works like mine, it works kinda of backwards just screw the front of counter clockwise (left). Hope this helps anyone who is stuck!

[@tf-ct2327]

mines just bleeding now...

[@AyshBanaysh]

Why are you removing it if it’s not fully healed? 🙄😭

[@tf-ct2327]

the piercing is healed, i had it for 2 years, i did take it out before but the ball is just gone tight now, and i tried taking it out but it started bleeding

[@AyshBanaysh]

Oh I see! Hmm you may have just caught it/used a bit too much force getting it out. If it’s truly healed it should go back to normal quickly

[@tf-ct2327]

ok , thank you

[@vh6772]

I just changed my 1/2 year old helix, and it bled and I'm just confused because it didn't/doesn't hurt.

[@starlinaxo]

Thank you so much for this! I would never have been able to do it without this video. I ordered a hemostat online from Amazon for about $9.99 CAD and it worked perfectly. My piercing was actually screwed on from the opposite side of yours, so I would recommend that if anyone uses a hemostat and is still struggling from one side, try the other side. Once I realized my mistake, it screwed off in seconds, lol.

you deserve a grammy for this.

UPDATES: If you're looking for the tools I use at the end, you can buy them here ayshbanaysh.com/haemostat [UPDATED LINK] These are not tweezers. Please don't come and ask be for help saying you tried everything if you haven't tried these. This is what I will suggest. Tweezers may work if you're extremely lucky but they are not an equivalent.

[@klaraaberg9553]

YOU SAVED MY LIFE WITH THIS VIDEO! you are the best

[@olgax222]

This may be a dumb question. But is it left on your own perspective, or left, looking at the piercing from an outside perspective. Like do you, twist it inwards or outwards to take it off?

[@AyshBanaysh]

Not dumb at all! I always have to picture it in my head. Outside perspective, so if you were unscrewing a ball on your ear lobe outside left would be right from your perspective. For your right nostril left would be towards you, for your left nostril it’s away from you etc. hope that helps!

[@peepsqueek923]

For anyone who has been trying and trying and nothing works...maybe try just pulling them apart cause it turned out mine wasn't a screw off barbell at all...

[@saiteriamoore8254]

Use the glove method with latex free gloves and it worked..Thank you

[@byventrex7597]

This is my first piercing, I got it in September 2019 and this was the first time I took it out (June 2020). I was actually pretty scared it'll get infected (I now put it back in but I'm still scared) and here I read how people remove their helix after like a month...

[@TheTibmeister]

I’m going to ask a really stupid question. When using a cartlidge earring with a round flat side and a screw in point which goes at the front and the back? Best not to try putting on stud earrings or anything fiddly after you’ve just stuck on false nails huh? Sorry a big pack came from Amazon and i wanted to use everything at one. Including temp tattoos

[@chloesellers305]

Omg this entire time I thought it was the flat bit at the back I had to remove, not unscrew the ball agaggaga

[@axhley1426]

LMFAOOO , i'm sorry but this is funny asf .

Same. I kept rotating the back thing and holding the ball so eventually the ball came off. I felt really stupid..

[@stellato121]

I got my helix piercing out that i had for 2 years! But i had to put it back in bc the new piercing i bought was too short😔 And now im worried its gonna fall off bc its not as tightly screwed anymore! To get it out i used a pair of tweezers and fish bone tweezers. Before that i tried some gloves and other things to pinch it with but thats what finally worked for me. Idk if it was a safe method but it worked like a charm so im happy about it.

[@edelbyrne7261]

I actually have a tragus, conch and helix piercing in the one ear and I kept twisting it clockwise to the right to tighten it but nope it came loose!! I had to pop the bar in numerous times at the very early stages which was so painful until I realised to tighten my diamond stud I had to twist it anti clockwise to the left so in my case and I doubt I'm one of a kind rightie tightie leftie loosie doesn't work

[@dinonuggets378]

OMG YALL I FIGURED IT OUT. so all I just did was pulled it off, you don't need to screw it off unless it's the flat back but if has a regular back to it you're gonna have to add a little more force and pull the back off of it. (I wrote the same comment on another video but I hope this is also helpful)
