Piercing earrings
Piercing is one of the oldest adornments of the human body. In the distant past, such details had symbolic meaning. Today, people who love changes and non-standard solutions turn to these interesting accessories.
What?
An earring is a metal product that is used to complement punctures in the ears, navel or other parts of the body. Most often you can find similar accessories made of silver or gold. They gained their popularity due to their hypoallergenic properties. You can also find original things made of wood or bone.
By itself, the term "earring" refers more to accessories designed for the earlobe. But today, this is the name of other products that are intended for other parts of the body.
Peculiarities
Piercing earrings are specially designed to be punctured in a specific place on the body. The holes of these punctures can vary in angle and depth, so the product should be ideally suited for these parameters.

There are also such models in which heavy jewelry is present.
Types and their names
Don't feel like piercing earrings are limited to standard round designs. In fact, there are quite a few varieties of such accessories. Let's take a closer look at the most popular options:
- Barbell earrings are very popular today. The base of such products has the shape of a rod, the ends of which are equipped with small balls. As a rule, they are made of the same material as the base. There is one popular subspecies of this earring.It differs from the conventional model in its slightly curved shaft.
- There are also options in which the base has a flat disc on one side, and a decorative piece in the shape of a ball on the other. Such models are called labrettes.
If the rod in the earring is made very thin, then such an adornment is called a microlabre.
- Banana earrings have an original and non-trivial appearance. They are curved. They can be easily attributed to one of the subspecies of the classic barbell.
- Other interesting specimens called nawel are very similar to bananas. Such accessories differ only in the presence of pendants or curly decorative elements.
- Miniature Nostrill earrings look interesting. The base in such specimens has a straight or hook-shaped structure with a decorative detail at one end.
- Canine models are used to stretch the canals in the ears. They can have completely different diameters.
- Spiral earrings have a florid shape. From the side, they look more like small springs.
- Round products with decor in a certain part of the segment are insanely popular. Otherwise, such accessories are called rings.
- An ornament curved in a semicircle is called a circular. Both ends of this accessory have beautiful and eye-catching additions in the form of balls or spikes.
All piercing earrings can be divided into several types. It all depends only on where the puncture is made. Let's take a closer look at these varieties.
The most common are earlobe accessories. It depends on the specific puncture site which earrings need to be selected.
For ear piercing, as a rule, use:
- For anti-tragus piercings, choose straight and slightly curved barbells or rings. If the piercing has an entry point in the earlobe, then simple models with a straight bar should be worn. If the puncture is made only in the cartilage, then the bar should be small.
- A piercing called a day is performed in the place of the protruding cartilage, which is very close to the ear canal. For this puncture, rings, half rings or curved rods are ideal.
- Another interesting type of ear piercing is Industrial. It has two holes that are connected by one shackle. As a rule, a similar puncture is made in the upper part of the ear. Barbells with a varied base shape will be appropriate here.
- For piercing in the earlobe, original tunnels can also be used. Special stretchers form large holes, which are complemented by various earrings or tunnels.
The original persi bananas are often used to pierce the navel. They are very similar to the curved barbell, but differ from them in the length of the main part and the angle of the bend. Such a product must be selected especially carefully and carefully, otherwise it will deliver a lot of unpleasant sensations.
There are two main types of nose piercing. This is a wing puncture and a septum. The second option involves placing the earring between the septum and the cartilage.
If you want to decorate the wing, then you should turn to the Nostril earring. They are small, reminiscent of flirty carnations. Such specimens can be equipped with completely different decorative elements at the end of the rod.
The most popular today are nostrilles decorated with multi-colored glass.
In rare cases, the wing is decorated with rings or half rings.
For a puncture between the septum and the cartilage (septum), circulars are most often used. It is worth mentioning that these punctures were originally popular among punks. So they stood out from the environment and easily recognized each other in the crowd.
For cartilage punctures, it is recommended to use microlabers, spirals or rods.
Barbells are most often used to decorate the tongue. But if you want to pierce the conic, then you should pick up small rings.
Lip piercings are usually complemented with labrettes.Such accessories meet all safety requirements. The disc in these earrings is securely attached to the base, so you will not accidentally swallow it and cut your tongue on it. Often, spirals are used for the lips (another name is twists).
It is worth mentioning the fact that you can easily change the ball. To do this, it will not be necessary to remove the main rod from the puncture.
Another popular type of piercing is Monroe piercing. Its name speaks for itself: it is named after the famous Hollywood actress with a charming mole above her lip.
Young ladies who want to give their appearance a special sensuality and seductiveness turn to such an adornment. For such punctures, it is better to use miniature earrings with matte balls.

For youth eyebrow piercing, bananas, rings or circulars are most often used.
The size
Such interesting accessories must be of the right size in order to prevent unpleasant consequences.
- The standard rod size is 1.6 mm. There are also thinner options, but they can lead to tearing of the soft tissue when you jerk. For intimate piercing, the jewelry can have different lengths: from 4.5 to 50 mm. It all depends on the puncture itself.
- Today, small labret earrings are popular, the thickness of which does not exceed 1 mm. But many ladies are turning to the thick 1.2mm and 1.6mm wide options as well.
- The classic size of bananas does not exceed 1.6 mm. Of course, there are thinner models, but they need to be worn as carefully and accurately as possible. For intimate punctures, the same sizes apply as in regular pants.
- The dimensions of the circulars depend on the dimensions of the wraps and balls, as well as the diameter of the inner part of the ring. The thickness of such products is similar to the rods: from 1.2 mm. The most popular today are specimens with a thickness of 1.6 mm. The diameter of the earrings varies from 6 to 16 mm.
