My best friend is coming over tomorrow morning and I'm going to make her try to get it off. I wanted her to be there tonight (I just had a feeling something would go wrong) but I ended up having a lot of people at my house (grandmother, mother, sister, her, baby cousin, 7 year old cousin, the kids that I used to babysit--Hope [8]; Morgan [11], and their mother) so she left before all of the company did.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey. I'm pretty sure I'm turning it the right way. I thought I was being crazy and tried both ways. I've also tried unscrewing the bottom ball, thinking that this one was defunct or something. Ha.

I'm quite fond of the thing, so I'll definitely go back to the piercer before I do anything stupid. I just don't trust myself with pliers and I'm afraid all of this pulling and tugging might mess it up. :-/

You could also ask someone else to try cause the oils on our hands can make it almost impossible to get them off! I always had to ask my mum to help lol :$

The place that I went to is actually the closest. I live in the middle of nowhere. I've actually wrapped a washcloth around my hand (kinda like a barrier, like you need a grippy thingy when you open a jar) and I had no luck with that...
