Based on the provided reference, removing barbell stud earrings typically involves holding the front of the stud and unscrewing the backing.
Here's a breakdown:
- Hold the Front: Securely grip the front of the stud to prevent it from spinning. This is especially important for smaller studs.
- Unscrew the Backing: Use your other hand to carefully unscrew the backing of the barbell. The backing usually twists off counter-clockwise.
The reference mentions that 3mm studs are generally easy to remove using this method.
