Stainless Steel Body Jewelry

The majority of body piercing jewelry is made out of surgical grade stainless steel because it is body friendly. Surgical steel body jewelry is especially of high quality. Additionally, it is affordable, strong and safe to wear. It is generally preferred for its low risk of allergic reactions!

This means there is also reduced risk of infections, swellings in a new piercing. This is the same reason why surgical grade steel is also used in body implants after surgery!

Most body jewelry made of other materials like silver and acrylic still have surgical grade steel as the main part that is inserted into the body to prevent chances of any negative reaction. Steel is also corrosion resistant, making it safe to wear.

Internally Threaded Tragus Rings

Have you always wanted to get a tragus piercing? If you said yes, then you should go in for internally threaded tragus rings.

Although not the most popular type of body piercing, tragus piercing is among the most preferred with both males and females.

Regardless of the kind of tragus body jewelry you decide to get, one thing is certain – you want it to heal as soon as possible.

Your piercer is likely to tell you that it is best to wear an internally threaded tragus ring.

Benefits Of Wearing Internally Threaded Tragus Rings

The short answer is:

• Less infection
• Less swelling
• Less friction
• More comfort
• Quicker healing

These are pretty good reasons for wearing internally threaded tragus rings. In addition to these, internally threaded jewelry is also stronger and safer to wear. There is a smooth shaft that goes through your tragus piercing. The bead that secures the tragus ring in place has the threaded bar. This bar fits inside the shaft, so your new tragus piercing will never touch the threads.

Compared to the more common externally threaded tragus rings, internally threaded tragus rings are far better as they promote healing. Internally threaded body jewelry is more difficult to make, so it is more expensive. However it is designed to ensure that your piercing heals with the minimum interference. These rings are further strengthened by the threaded bar not only glued to the ball, but also extended right inside it, so that when it is screwed into the shaft, it fits snugly and safely.

When healing is complete, you can start wearing a variety of internally threaded tragus rings available in plenty of attractive designs and colors!

Internally Threaded Body Jewelry – Best For Body Piercing!

Internally Threaded Body Jewelry According to the Association of Professional Piercers, there are certain specific standards that must be followed by professional body piercing experts.

They insist that when threaded jewelry is used for first time piercings, it has to be internally threaded body jewelry – minimum 16 gauge. Getting body piercing done can be a really exciting experience because you are looking forward to showing off your navel, nose, or tongue piercing.

But did you know that wearing the right kind of jewelry can help you get your piercing done safely?

Internally threaded body jewelry is a little pricey because it is more expensive to manufacture. The more commonly found externally threaded body jewelry has the threads on the outer surface at the end of the body jewelry shaft and the ball at the recess. In internally threaded body jewelry, the ball has a threaded bar which fits into the shaft. This is more intricate to make. Good quality internally threaded jewelry has the thread glued to the ball or even better – inserted inside it to make it secure when you wear it! 🙂

Benefits Of Internally Threaded Body Jewelry

The biggest benefit of internally threaded body jewelry is safety. It does not harm the piercing wound and this is very important if you have body piercing in delicate places like your tongue, or a genital piercing where you definitely do not want any risk of infection.

The internally threaded barbell used in piercing is a lot more comfortable and minimizes the chances of bacterial infection. It is certainly stronger than other types of body jewelry because of the way it is made, with the threaded stem going all the way from the ball into the shaft. This makes the ball secure and stable.

Unlike external threading, you will not have the threading pass through your freshly made piercing.

Generally, internally threaded body jewelry is made of high quality materials and costs more than other jewelry but it is well worth it when you think of safety. There are plenty of jewelry options that you can try out at leisure. You can feel assured that your body piercing is protected by internally threaded body piercing jewelry and focus on enjoying your unique piercing!
