AHHHH! any professional piercers here?!!?

My lip ring just fell out, ( well it's been falling out at least twice a day since I got it gone last week... but it just fell out and I lost the ball.

is there anything else I can safely use to keep the hole open until I can go to the mall and get a new ring?

 

I'm not a professional piercer. Try some other long ear ring. Try a safety pin or a paper clip. Whatever you use wash it well with soapy water and use rubbing alcohol or Vodka to doubly sterilize it. That's what I would do. Good luck.

 

Don't use a safety pin or paper clip, it needs to be surgical steel. You could probably get away with sticking something plastic through it though, it has to be non reactive.
