With more and more professional Body Piercers using internally threaded body jewellery for its advantages over alternative options, there is growing confusion on how jewellery actually fastens together. (See my other topic covering Internal vs External jewellery)

If you happen to notice at this point and also find your ball/attachment, after a clean, you can simply screw it back into the post of the bar/stud. The threads sticks out the back of the ball/attachment and screw into the post itself. Align the threads straight with the post and tighten by turning it in a clockwise direction.
