changing nose piercing

So I’ve had my nose stud for a little over two years. I have changed it once, but I actually went to the piercing shop to get it changed 😂 I am terrified to take my piercing out and change it myself because seeing myself with a hole in my nose sounds so bad!!!!!!! I really want to change it though. Anybody out there understand where I’m coming from or do y’all just change it easily by yourself 😂
