Before even starting the process of removing the piercing, washing your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water is very important as hygiene is a must. Dry your hands using tissues or a clean cloth. All see to that all the materials that are being used are clean, new or sterilized.
Position yourself in front of the mirror where you can clearly see your nose and the nose stud.

Use your fingers to carefully hold the decorative end of the nose stud. Use your left hand if you have the piercing on the left side and the right hand if you have it on the right. By doing so, you are not blocking the view or getting your hands tangled.
Take the tweezers in the other hand and gently grab the flat back. Remember to only hold it steady and not squeeze too hard as it might bend the flat back and also cause discomfort.
Once you have the flat back steadily held by the tweezers, you can now slowly and gently start unscrewing the stud. Keep in mind to unscrew the decorative end of the stud counterclockwise (to the left).
When you’re done unscrewing the stud, gently remove the post through your piercing hole from the front of the nose, and the flat back from the inside of the nostril.
Be sure to clean the piercing area post removing the nose stud. This time it’s important to be thorough when cleaning the area. You can use another cotton pad or ball, soak it in saline solution, take it in the tweezer and clean the area to remove any dead skins build up and prevent bacterial infection.
Take a tissue and place both the decorative end and the flat back of the nose stud on it. Thoroughly inspect if there’s any damage or dirt buildup.Clean the pieces individually with a saline solution, dry it on tissue before reassembling them.
Once both the decorative end and the flat back of the nose stud are cleaned and inspected, gently screw the decorative end back onto the post and be careful not to overtighten it.
