Piercing Jewelry Change & Earring Installation
◇ PIERCING JEWELRY CHANGE · REMOVAL · INSTALLATION
Need Help Changing Your Piercing Jewelry?
Flat backs, threadless ends and cartilage jewelry can be tiny—and sometimes surprisingly difficult to remove or install.
Whether you are ready for a new look, cannot get your current jewelry out, need help installing a new piece or simply want to make sure everything fits correctly, our team can professionally change piercing jewelry for you.
For a healed piercing, bring your existing jewelry for evaluation or compare options from Nina Wynn's piercing jewelry collection. Installation depends on the piercing, jewelry condition, dimensions and compatibility.
Book now in Denver: discuss Jefferson Park or Tennyson with the team, then confirm your preferred studio, service needs, appointment date and an itemized quote. Tell us how many pieces you want removed or installed.

⌁ BEFORE CHANGING JEWELRY
Is Your Piercing Ready for New Jewelry?
A piercing can look healed on the outside before the channel inside is fully healed.
Changing jewelry too early can irritate the piercing, introduce trauma or make reinsertion difficult. If you are unsure whether your piercing is ready, do not remove the jewelry at home first.
Come in with the jewelry still installed and let our team evaluate it.
Still healing? You may need a professional downsize rather than a decorative jewelry change. LEARN ABOUT PIERCING DOWNSIZING →
◇ BRINGING YOUR OWN JEWELRY
Can You Change Jewelry I Bought Somewhere Else?
For healed piercings, you may bring outside jewelry for us to evaluate before installation.
What do you check before installing outside jewelry?
We may need to review the material, gauge, post length, threading or threadless compatibility, condition, construction and suitability for your placement. We cannot guarantee that outside jewelry will be appropriate or installable.
What if the jewelry is not suitable?
We'll explain what is preventing a safe or appropriate fit and can help you find another option from Nina Wynn's piercing jewelry selection.
Can outside jewelry be used for a new piercing?
No. For a new piercing, Nina Wynn uses jewelry selected through our studio so our piercers can confirm material, construction, sizing, fit and sterilization.
× FLAT BACK EARRING HELP
Can't Get Your Flat Back Earring Out?
You're not alone. Flat-back earrings are designed to be secure, and tiny threadless or threaded components can be difficult to grip behind your own ear.
If your jewelry will not come out, avoid aggressively twisting, pulling or repeatedly irritating the piercing.
✦ REFRESH YOUR EAR
Upgrade Your Jewelry While You're Here
Sometimes one small jewelry change transforms the entire ear. Swap a simple stud for a diamond, add gemstone color, introduce a petite hoop or refresh several placements at once.

? COMMON QUESTIONS
Piercing Jewelry Change FAQs
Frequently asked questions & helpful guides
Can you change my flat back earrings for me?
Yes. Book now to discuss flat-back jewelry removal or installation at Jefferson Park or Tennyson. Contact the team to confirm your preferred studio, appointment date, the jewelry you want changed and a quote. The piercing and jewelry must be suitable for the service.
Can you remove a flat back earring that I can't get out?
Yes. If you're struggling to remove piercing jewelry, avoid repeatedly pulling or twisting it. Bring it in so we can evaluate the jewelry and piercing before attempting removal.
Can I bring jewelry purchased somewhere else?
For healed piercings, you may bring outside jewelry for evaluation. Installation depends on its material, condition, dimensions, construction and compatibility with your piercing.
Can you use my jewelry for a new piercing?
No. Outside jewelry is not used for new piercings because the studio needs to confirm all of the factors required for appropriate initial piercing jewelry.
How much does a piercing jewelry change cost?
The jewelry change service has a $25 minimum, and installation of Nina Wynn jewelry is listed at $18 per piece. New jewelry is purchased separately. Ask the team how the minimum and per-piece rate apply to your visit and confirm an itemized total before booking.
Can you change cartilage earrings?
Yes, we can assist with jewelry changes for healed cartilage piercings when the jewelry and piercing are suitable for changing.
What if my piercing isn't healed yet?
Do not remove the jewelry before your visit. Depending on the healing stage and fit, you may need a professional downsize or piercing evaluation rather than a decorative jewelry change.
Do I need to know my earring gauge or post length?
No. If you're unsure, bring your current jewelry and we can help determine what you're wearing and what may fit appropriately.
Can I change several earrings during one visit?
Yes. Bring all jewelry you'd like us to evaluate and choose the studio/service option that allows enough time for the number of pieces you need changed.
What's the difference between jewelry shopping and a jewelry-change appointment?
Jewelry shopping is for browsing and styling. Choose Jewelry Change when you need jewelry physically removed or installed.
Where can I book a piercing jewelry change in Denver?
Book now to discuss a jewelry change at Jefferson Park or Tennyson. Contact the team to confirm your preferred studio, appointment date, number of pieces, service needs and an itemized quote. Confirm the service, preferred studio, time, address and total with the team.

For a healing piercing that needs a shorter post, review piercing downsizing. For a full styling plan, explore ear curation. If you want a new piercing, use the separate ear piercing service. The piercing service chooser explains the different appointment types.
General professional references include the Association of Professional Piercers’ aftercare guidance and jewelry guidance for initial piercings. Discuss your healing stage and jewelry fit with a qualified piercer; do not force a difficult change at home.
