<i>The most important piercing tool</i><br>

<br>Needles are part of a piercer’s stock in trade – not the sewing variety, but specialist surgical ones. Like all tools and materials used in a piercing studio, piercing needles must be sterile and hypoallergenic. 
<br><br>
The needles are usually single use and hollow, with thin walls made from a polymer called FEP. They have a smooth surface, and incorporate four contrast lines to ensure that the [[Special:MyLanguage/Schmuck|jewellery]] is placed in exactly the right position. The needles have diagonal, superfine conical catheter tips that penetrate the [[Special:MyLanguage/Haut|skin]] without traumatic side effects and make them as sharp as a scalpel. They come in a sterile plastic tube.

Once the skin is pierced, the needle is withdrawn, the jewellery placed through the small plastic tube, and the tube withdrawn. The piercing is then complete.
