How to take this nose ring out!

I’ve had my nose pierced since mid-December, and for most of that time I’ve had a ring. It’s titanium, which is porous and apparently better for nose jewelry than anything else. But I’m soon going to have a situation where I need to remove it for about half an hour for a photo shoot, and I can’t even figure out how I’d get the damn thing off of me. It won’t rotate—that is, I can’t like turn it so the opening part is outside of my nose so I can reach it. It won’t budge.

Wtf should I do? It doesn’t seem to be infected, it never hurts, and I clean it daily with saltwater. Help?
