Once your navel ring piercing has fully healed, which can take between two to six months, you can easily remove it yourself and replace it with another, or even leave it without a hoop for a while. Keep in mind that if you run out of rim for a long time, the piercing could begin to close and you will need to do it again. The time it takes depends on the individual. Removing a navel ring on your own before the piercing has healed completely is not recommended; In case it is necessary to do so, ask the driller who originally did the work to help you.
1. Wash your hands and the piercing site carefully with antibacterial soap and rinse it. This reduces the chances of spreading an infection to the site of the perforation.
2. Gently twist or slide the loop to make sure it moves freely inside the hole. If the skin has adhered to your ring or does not move freely, or if moving is painful, you will need help from a professional.
3. Locate the adjustable ball that holds your hoop in place, usually a small "non-decorative" ball on the hoop. It is usually on the top of the ring, outside your anchor belly button ring, although in some rare cases it could be inside.
4. Hold the ring carefully in place with one hand and unscrew the ball with the other. You may need to test the ball gently to determine which side to unscrew.
5. Slide the hoop carefully down and out of the hole. It should come out easily and smoothly. If not, consult a piercing professional, as your skin may have been stuck to the hoop.
6. Wash the drilling area again to disinfect. Wash and disinfect the dream catcher belly ring that you just removed too.
Advice
Try to get your drilling professional to take out the first ring that he put when you did the original drilling. This will give you a chance to check the perforation site and confirm that it is completely cured and free of infection.
