Hey there, everyone!

Due to nursing school, it's time for me to where I have to take out my hinged clicker rings, but, like many posts before me, I'm having major problems taking them out.

I have a spider bite 16g piercing fit with hinged segment rings. I have tried every trick I could think of - gloves, pliers, fingernail, qtip, another piece of jewelry, EVERYTHING - and they're refusing to open.

Unfortunately, these have to be removed for tomorrow because my professors want everyone to look professional for skills lab and going to my piercer isn't an option for today because I'm at work during their complete business hours today.

I'm honestly thinking of just taking my chances and if I have to explain myself to my professors because they're complaining to just say I couldn't remove them safely and didn't want to risk personal injury, won't happen again, etc etc.
