The segment ring should be held with both hands. The segment piece of the hoop should be held in one hand and the hoop in the other. Pull in opposite directions with both hands. You will be able to remove the segment with ease if the segment opens up.
You will need to use a small flat head screwdriver to pry it out. Be careful not to damage the metal ring. If you do damage it, you can always re-install it later.

The piece of life changing information is the Golden Rule – tightie rightie and lefty loosey. I’m not going to go into too much detail on this, but I will that if you are a lefty and you have a tight ball, you should loosen it up a little bit.
If you’re a righty, and your ball is loose, then you can tighten it a lot more. It’s just a matter of how much you want to do it. I think it’s a good idea to try it out and see what works best for you.
How do you unscrew a labret piercing?
You should keep the disc behind your teeth. You can hold the bead, gem or spike between your thumb and index finger. To loosen it, twist it to the left and then remove it completely. The bar should be released from between your fingers.
If you do not have a bar, you can use a piece of string or string with a hole cut in it. Wrap the string around the end of your piercing and twist it in the opposite direction. The string should come off easily.
How do you open a piercing?
Grab both ends of the click ring between your thumb and forefinger and gently pull the ring open. The way closing the ring is done is by pushing the ends together until they click together. Only your thumb and index finger can be used for this step.
Insert your finger into the hole and push it in until it clicks. You should hear a click. If you don’t hear it, you may need to adjust the size of your ring.
