Types of body piercings

The art of piercing, a type of body modification, has been around for quite some time. This involves inserting needles or other objects into the skin to embellish the body.

Although piercing can be done for aesthetic or medical reasons, it is also a way to express yourself. There are many types of body piercing. You can also get your body pierced in many places.

Body piercing has been practiced for many centuries. Body piercing was used in early cultures as a way to decorate and ward off evil spirits. The puncture holes made in the skin by needles and other instruments are called “piercing”.

It’s common to think of someone who has body piercings as a rebellious teen. There are many types of piercings and each one can have a different meaning.

For thousands of years, body piercings were an integral part of human history. They are still used as cultural symbols or personal expressions today. These are some examples of body piercings.

Ear piercings

Ear piercings have been around for thousands of years. However, they are still very popular today. According to 2017 statistics, almost 45 million Americans have had ear piercings. Although the traditional earlobe piercing is still very popular, there are other options that can enhance your appearance.

Ear piercings will always be in fashion. When it comes to making a trendy and unique outfit, a little bit of ear jewelry is never too much.

It can help you communicate better with the person who will be piercing your ears. Here is a diagram showing the various ear piercings and the names.

One of the oldest forms in body art, ear piercings, is still being practiced today. People have used piercings to express their culture, religion, and political views from the Egyptian Princess Nefertari to the people in Papua New Guinea. There are many ear piercings that you can choose from, so it is easy to find the one that suits your style and personality.

Women continue to pierce their ears with the most popular on the cartilage or lobe. Most girls get their lobes pierced as young girls. Jewelry in specialty and department stores can be adjusted for any type of piercing, so it’s easy to swap out earrings throughout the week.

It can be confusing to keep track of all the ear piercings. People no longer have just one piercing per ear. You can now have up to five in each ear!

Although the most common type of ear piercing is the earlobe, there are many other areas that you can use to showcase your style. Here’s a list of all the different types of ear piercings, so you can choose the one that suits your needs. You have many options for ear piercings to choose from. This will allow you to make your own body piercing art.

One of the most unique and powerful forms of body modification is nose piercing. There are some things that you need to know before you decide whether or not you want to have your nose pierced.

You should also be able to recognize what happens during a nose-piercing procedure and the things you need to avoid to ensure a healthy and clean piercing.

While nose piercings have become quite common, some people still don’t like the idea. You may find it disgusting to think about having something in your nose. You should be cautious when selecting a piercer or the location where it is done.

It is crucial to understand the differences between septum and nostril piercings. We’ll explain them both so that you can choose which nose piercing suits you best.

Most professional piercers will not do more than 3 to 4 piercings in a single sitting. They might allow you to have more piercings if they’ve done it before. However, this can be difficult on your body and you shouldn’t push yourself too far.

Facial piercings can be a significant commitment. They are visible and can’t be concealed on a daily basis, at least until they heal. It can also be difficult to choose the right type, size, or color of jewelry for you.

If you are looking for inspiration to get a facial, there is no better place than your favorite celebrities. You can find celebrities with nose piercings or those that used to have them.

Body Piercing Jewelry Types

Body piercing jewelry types are extremely varied. In fact, the range of piercing jewelry that you can use to decorate and decorate your body is so wide that it can be difficult to know where to get started.

In this section, we’ll take a look at the different types of piercing jewelry that you can use for ear piercings, nose piercings, eyebrow piercings, and any other body part piercings.

There are common types of body piercing jewelry:

Barbells

The most common type of body jewelry is the barbell. The balls, also known as beads, are usually removed from one end to allow the bar to slip through a piercing.

After that, the balls can be screwed back on to secure the ball in place. Barbells can be used for many piercings such as tongue rings, ear, and eyebrow piercings.

Belly Button Barbells

Barbells with curved belly buttons are also known as “banana barbells” or “banana balls”. The threaded ball at one end of the barbell mimics the shape of the belly button, so the barbell fits better.

The balls can also be positioned neatly against the skin with one ball against the navel and one above the belly button. The majority of belly button barbells have a larger bottom ball and smaller top balls.

Captive Bead Rings

Captive beads rings are simple circular hoops that have a ball or charm inside. They are held in place by the pressure at each end of the circle. The balls have a slight dimple at each end, which allows them to fit perfectly against the ring.

There is a small area in the ring that can be used to insert and remove the ball after it has been removed.

Ear Cartilage Jewelry

Ear cartilage jewelry is available in a variety of gauge sizes, styles, and lengths, depending on the type of piercing.

Fake Tapers and Fake Plugs

People who desire to appear sexy or have their bodies altered but don’t want to stretch their ears, wear illusion earrings.

Hoop Nose Rings

For those who want the look of a rose ring, but don’t need a bead ring, hoop nose rings are the ideal solution. Hoop nose rings fit easily in your nose piercing.

Horseshoe Rings (Circular Barbells)

Circular barbells look like circular barbells, but they don’t have to be a circle. It’s more like a “horseshoe”, which is why it is often called a horseshoe ring. The ball ends can be removed and inserted just like a straight barbell.

Industrial Barbells

The upper portion of the ear is covered by industrial barbells. These barbells require two piercing holes. The barbell is worn diagonally from the top to the bottom of each ear. Many industrial barbells have charms or stylized ends.

Nipple rings

Many styles of jewelry can be worn on the nipple, with a barbell being just one example. For an extra touch of glamour, nipple rings can often be adorned with adornments. Once inserted into the nipple, a barbell holds the Nipple Shield in place.

Labret Barbells

For comfort, Labret barbells often have a flat disc at the back. These studs can be used to decorate many piercings. They often have a charm or ball attached.

Labret barbells can be worn above or below the lips, but they can also be used to pierce cheeks, dimples, and other types.

Pinchers

Although pinchers look like horseshoe rings, they don’t have balls. Some pinchers require o-rings to keep them in place, while others have small holes in the middle that allow the piercing to stay in place.

Plugs

Plugs can be used anywhere on the body, provided that the area has been stretched to allow for larger-sized jewelry. Most people will stretch in the earlobe, but others may stretch their noses, lips, and other areas. The plugs have no openings and are solid.

Septum Rings

Septum rings can be worn through a hole in the nose that is pierced on the wall between the nostrils. Depending on your preference, septum jewelry can either be horseshoe rings (or captive beads rings).

Spiral Tapers

Spiral tapers, which create a spiral shape, are tapers that are used for decorative purposes.

Stud Nose Rings (Bones & Screws)

Screw nose rings and bone nose rings both serve the same purpose. They add a tiny charm or gem to the side of your nostril without any other jewelry.

Tapers

There are two types of tapers: decorative and functional. When you need to increase your gauge size, functional tapers can be used. Decorative tapers can be worn as an accessory and will fit your measurements.

Tunnels

Tunnels are not like plugs. They have an opening that allows you to see through the middle of them. Tunnels are often used to pierce larger gauges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can you get piercings on your body?

Although almost any body part can be pierced, it is important to take into account your anatomy before you get pierced.

Everybody is unique and different. Intimate piercings as well as upper ear and middle piercings will depend on your individual ears. This allows you to choose the right placement for your body and the best jewelry for healing your piercing.

Before you proceed with a piercing, we recommend you consult a professional body-piercer.

Also, think about your daily life. Will your new piercing fit into your everyday routine? Certain body piercings can be problematic for simple things like clothing or work dress codes.

It may be difficult to repair piercings in the upper ear, for example, if your helmet or headphones are worn often. Facial piercings are not allowed in many workplaces. Additionally, if you work in an unsafe environment, body piercings can pose a risk to your health.

These issues can usually be resolved with the correct jewelry and careful placement. However, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Different names are used for different types of piercings in different countries or communities. Some names depend on what jewelry you are wearing in your piercings. For example, an industrial piercing requires a long barbell or two upper ear piercings.
