Anyone taken out nipple piercings?

Heather • 22/Nebraska bound.

I’ve had mine for two years and I’m thinking of taking them out. However, when I decide it’s the right time to remove them, I get a piercing pimple. I’m scared to remove them when I have a piercing pimple because I get infections easily and I get sick easy.

Plus I can’t take my bars out on my own. Any suggestions or advice?
