Body Piercing Jewelry

Permanent body piercing is performed by creating an opening in the body using a sharp object through the area to be pierced. This can either be done by puncturing an opening using a needle (usually a hollow medical needle) or scalpel or by removing tissue, either with a dermal punch or through scalpelling.

The jewelers are extremely important especially for the first piercing. The preferable
metal is titanium, as this one is the most convenient and does not contain toxic substances, which reduces the chances of allergies, suppurations and infections. Normally, it is essential that the piercing has the appropriate size for the body spot where it is going to be placed.

Ankle Piercing

Ankle piercing, unlike many other kinds of piercing, regularly comes in contact with the
clothes. The skin takes a couple of weeks to become habitual to the stress that wearing
jewelry causes, therefore, ankle piercing requires special care, at least, for the first
few weeks after the piercing. Ankle chains in gold, silver and low cost fashion jewelers
ankle bracelets.

Chin Piercing (Snake Bites & Septum)

There are several different labret variations based on precisely where the piercing is
positioned on the lower lip. These include a vertical labret through the top of the
lower lip rather than in front of the lip tissue, snake bites (dual piercings close together reminiscent of fangs), spiderbites (dual piercings very close together on the same side of the face), and a lowbred, which is placed as low as possible toward the chin. The initial piercing is usually done at 1.2 , 1.6 or 2.0 mm diameter. After initial healing, the piercing can then be (gradually) further stretched. Some people chose to stretch to sizes over 10 mm, and the jewelry worn at these larger sizes is then usually a round or oval 'labret plug'.

Ear Piercing

Ear piercings are virtually practiced all over the world and there are practically no
taboos associated with them. The ears are, perhaps, the most common organs used for
piercings. There are many kinds of ear piercing.

Eye Piercing

Eye piercings should not be confused eyebrow piercings. Eye piercings are rare, more
expensive and it usually takes a surgeon to do the job. Eye piercings are rare and they
are normally done through a cosmetic surgery. Eye piercings include wearing jeweler
inside your eyes, that is, either on your eyeballs or through your eyelids. It is
certainly riskier but a real head turner. For better and faster healing you should use a
barbel jewelry.

Eyebrow piercing

Usually the most wanted and popular jewels for this kind of piercing are Barbels. You
can either wear a straight or curved eyebrow bar - depending on what jewelry your
piercing was done with.
