    Wait 1 or if your really peranoid, 2 months before changing it, that will make sure that the hole is allready opened up, or, just have the ring ready and hurry and pull it out and in 2 seconds put the new one in, it isnt that fast to close up.

    Dont be worried.

    Make sure you've waited until it's completely healed then you'll want to put some saline solution on it and remove it slowly and gently. Next just put the new ring in. It should go just fine, if there's any discomfort that is probably because it hasn't healed fully. I would try moving the ring around a bit before I took it out. If the process of it just freaks you out have a professional do it for you.

    I went back to the place that pierced it and they changed it for me like 11 years ago, lol.

    u should still have some neosporin left over, or dial soap- whichever your peircer reccommended. either way, apply it generously before removing your original jewelry and while the hole is empty and your new jewelry will slide right in.

    connect a thread (fishing line) to the ring and pull it through. If you can do it. Keep the line in it until you're ready to insert another ring or the same one.another good way of doing it: get a curved sewing needle and blunt the tip so it's rounded and smooth. Use the eye to thread the line in, then feed the needle through the holes.
