Piercing

Piercing is the piercing of various parts of the body for the purpose of wearing jewelry. Piercing earrings are called piercings. You can insert the ring into almost any part of the body; you just need to choose the right diameter of the circle and the thickness of the wire.

The smallest rings (diameter 6-10 mm, wire thickness 1-1.6 mm) are used for ear and genital piercings. Rings with a diameter of 12-16 mm with a wire thickness of 1.2-2 mm are inserted into the eyebrow, wing and septum of the nose, lip, earlobe and cartilage, nipple, navel, interdigital fold, labia majora, foreskin.

The largest rings (diameter 18-20 mm, wire thickness up to 2.5 mm) are used for nipple piercings and male genital piercings.

One of the varieties of the ring is the circular - it is a horseshoe-like pier with two twisting balls. Circulars differ in the diameter of the circle, the thickness of the wire, and the size of the closing balls. Instead of balls, you can use cones of various sizes and sharpness to close the earrings. And if the circular is folded in a spiral, it is a twister.

The main type of piers is a bar. The name comes from its barbell-like appearance. The longest barbells (22-24 mm) are used for primary tongue piercing. This is due to the fact that when the tongue is pierced, it swells, swells and increases in size. Therefore, if the earring pricks, the healing process will be delayed and may become more complicated. After healing, the barbell is replaced with a smaller pierce.

Barbells are also placed in the nipple and used to pierce the glans penis vertically or horizontally. Small rods (length 6-10 mm, wire thickness 1.2-1.6 mm) are suitable for piercing the eyebrow, nasal septum, frenulum or edge of the glans penis, skin fold over the clitoris.

To pierce the upper and lower lips, dimples of the chin, and cheeks, use a Labret stud. At the request of the client, the outer ball can be replaced with a cone, a pyramid, or a ball with spikes.

For piercing the wing of the nose, so-called nostrils or nostril screws are used. At the moment of insertion, the earring is screwed in like a screw. The outer part of the nostril has different shapes - ball, cone, spiral, square, pyramid, front sight.

Banana is most often used to pierce the navel. This is the most physiological earring for the navel. Nowadays, it is considered good practice for people who get their belly buttons pierced to have many different earrings and change them depending on their outfits. These can be bananas made of metals of various colors, decorated with stones.
