Not much you can do except try and glue it back in. The Gem Fell Out of My Jewellery – this is common in cheaper gemset pieces. But – if this happens, see the notes above, and get in to see your Piercer as soon as you can. Cleaning the piercing is all you need to do. I Took My Jewellery Out to Clean it and Can’t Get it Back in – it is not necessary to “clean” your body jewellery in the majority of cases – noses, navels, nipples etc. You will usually hear it when it goes up the pipe. I Dropped a Ball and Can’t Find It – empty your vacuum cleaner bag and then vac over the room you think the ball is in. If the jewellery was expensive, it might be worth calling a plumber. S bends are easier to work with, but shower and bath drains can often be accessed by removing the grill that covers them. The jewellery might be in the S bend or drain. My Jewellery Went Down the Drain – the best way to prevent this is with drain guards on your shower, bath, and bathroom sinks – now she tells me! However, if this happens, turn off the running water. If it was gold it might be worth the search, but if not – just buy a new one. ![]() It will usually work its way through your digestive system without a problem. I Swallowed a Ball – bummer! Not too much to panic about here. It is important to have the jewellery changed BEFORE your body eats it completely – this can be fixed but it’s not fun for most folk! Some piercings require longer jewellery to begin with – like oral piercings – and other piercings have a very direct relationship between the piercing width and the jewellery size. My Body is Swallowing My Jewellery – SEE A PIERCER NOW – this may not necessarily be the same person who did your piercing – if you feel they may not have been a smart choice. These bumps are much easier to treat when they are fresh! If you notice a bump begin to form, please see your Piercer as soon as possible. If it continues to feel sore, keep up the salt water twice a day until it feels better. Your Piercing Has a Hard Knock or Tear – once you finish swearing – soak the piercing in a warm, mild salt water solution – 1/4-Tsp Salt/250mls Water – and keep an eye on it for the next few days. Again – using something like Blutac in the gap can help short term. If the gap ends up on the inside, the piercing may heal into it and can be very painful to fix. The Bead Came Out – this can happen – particularly with cheap jewellery – and the most important thing here is to try and keep the gap on the outside of the piercing until you can see your Piercer. Balls are more secure on internally threaded jewellery, but either way – Remember to check the ends regularly. Things you can use short term to help are – a piece of clean pencil eraser, Blutac or chewing gum (as a last resort). ![]() If you lost the ball, it is important to try and keep the bar in the piercing. Sometimes a friend is helpful here if you have difficulty working on the piercing yourself. Remember – “Right is Tight and Left is Loose”. The Ball Came Off – if this happens – and you still have the ball – try to screw it back on. ![]() ![]()
