Try putting the balls bacK on but put a tiny piece of blu tac on it, it grips the ball in the righ place and enabls you to turn it enough to thread it, then take the blu tac off and tighten it. But make sure it is fresh from the packet as it could be carrying god know what on it! My little tip for the day

No! Leave it totally alone. 3mm is fine.

i usually use a final fit bar thats around 4mm longer than the thickness of the tongue and ball size can make a big difference, i use 6mm as standard but changing the lower ball to 5mm can often ease any sensitivity, especially if it rests near the sublingual frenum.If the problem persists maybe a PTFE bar may help.

Blowouts aren't permanent. I'd definitely downsize though, and leave the jewellery in when you do the compresses - regularly removing the jewellery could be irritating. The tunnel you have at the moment looks quite long too, I'd find a smaller one for your downsize (also it shouldn't get in the way as much for compresses then!).

It's not that we are 'winning', fact is we're here because we love piercings, and believe in giving piercings the best possible start and chances. We aren't telling you this stuff to be nasty, things only get nasty when good advice is pretty much ignored. And immaturity and ignorance is extremely frustrating.

if you do make sure you go to a decent piercer, I think a microdermal would be better than the surface piercing

I really dont get why you mum didnt at least just gun your ears if she is trained, at least that would probly have been cleaner than the method you used, despite being deplorable in itself.
