try a cigarette and burn the buggers bottom and the jaws will let go then put on tea tree oil mixed with lavender to help heal the hole.
it sounds awful but if you just pull the jaws will be left behind.

The person is right you heat up the rear of the tick that is sticking out, with a hot needle touch it, then use tweezers and turn the tick counter clockwise as they burrow in like a cork screw make sure U get the whole tick as it will still live if the head is left in. keep it clean with peroxcide and antibiotic poly or neosporin. Things should be great after words, I have done it many times..
GOOD LUCK
