When I got my tongue pirced, I didn't want to have to drive all the way back to the city just to get it changed, so I did so myself. (I live in the sticks...)
This is what I came to realize- that darn bead wouldn't come off, no matter how hard I turned it. Well, it was slippery and hard to get a real good grip. (Darn that drool...)
It dawned on me that they used rubber gloves to screw it on. Said rubber gloves have more grip than your bare hands.
So, I went and got a pair (I asked for them at the doctor's office) and the bead came right off. When I put in the new barbell, I used my bare hands to ensure I could also remove it with my bare hands next time around.
Just be sure to always wash your hands before handling a body piercing with your bare hands.
