Piercing jewellery

Of course, the best thing about piercings is the jewellery. Earrings, plugs, flesh Tunnels, barbells, bananabells, ball closure rings, labret studs: we’re constantly working on new ideas, and the Crazy Factory shop has jewellery in countless cool shapes, colours, and patterns.

Make sure your piercing has completely healed before trying out any new jewellery. Piercers use hypoallergenic jewellery for fresh piercings, and this must have a nickel content of less than 0.05 percent. Most use nickel-free titanium jewellery for first piercings, and some employ PTFE (Teflon). They should never use 14-carat gold, as this contains allergenic metals such as zinc, tin, nickel, and lead. The latter two, in particular, are an absolute no-no for piercings.

Experienced piercers recommend minimum gauges of 1.2 millimetres for ears, noses, and eyebrows; 1.6 millimetres for chests, stomachs, lips, and tongues; and 2 millimetres for the genitals.
