How do you permanently remove a belly button ring?

The ball is held in by pressure from the ring, it has two little divits in it. To get the ball out try to put pressure on one side of it and it may pop out, if not go to a shop they have specific tool made to take the ball out. Some people use tools around the house but this is a good way to ruin your jewelry and maybe infect the piercing if the tool isn't clean.
