How to Change Threadless Body Jewelry (Without the Stress!)

If you’ve recently gotten a piercing with threadless jewelry—first off, great choice! It’s one of the safest and most secure styles out there. But if you’re ready to switch up your look or swap out your top, you might be wondering: How do I change this without messing it up?

Here’s a simple guide to help you change threadless jewelry like a pro:

💡 What is threadless jewelry?

Threadless jewelry consists of two parts: a post or labret backing (inserted into the piercing) and a decorative top that pops in and stays in place with tension. No twisting or threading involved!

✨ How to Remove the Top:

– Hold the post steady — You don’t want to tug on your healing piercing.

– Gently pull the top straight out — It may feel snug, and that’s normal. Wiggle slightly if needed, but don’t twist.

– If it’s really tight, try using a clean piece of tissue or latex gloves for a better grip.

✨ How to Insert a New Top:

– Insert the pin of the new top halfway into the post.

– Bend the pin slightly — This creates the tension that holds the top in place (just a gentle bend!).

– Push the top into the post firmly until it sits flush.

✅ A Few Tips:

– Make sure your hands and jewelry are clean before handling.

– If your piercing is new or sore, we highly recommend letting a professional do the change for you. We offer this service everyday!

– Keep a backup top just in case—it’s always good to have options.
