Ive had the piercing for roughly a year now and the guy who origanlly did it is no longer around where i live..
My issue it trying to change the barbell. I can get the bar about half way through and it wont go any further. Ive been to a few other piercers who look at me dumbfounded and have no answer for me
Any idea on why this is happening? [url]Image[/url]

When I got my ears pierced a year ago before I started stretching I had problems the same way u are. Don't shove it thru just put a lil pressure on itd move it around. It sounds to me your not lining it up just right. But also if u can put the other bar back in. The bar u have might be defective. Meaning it could be flared on the end.

Just go back to your piercer, they'll change it for you.

Oops, sorry, didn't read well enough. Are there no good piercers you can travel to? If you're having trouble changing a piercing you can hurt yourself doing it yourself.
In the meantime, just change the balls if you want different-looking jewelry.
