Ear Piercings
Lobes, helix, flat, conch, tragus, rook, daith, and industrial placements use different jewelry. Flat-back labrets are common in many cartilage placements; rings are common in healed helix, conch, daith, and lobe piercings when anatomy allows.
Nostril & Septum
Nostril jewelry commonly includes flat-back labrets, nostril screws, and rings for suitable healed piercings. Septum jewelry commonly includes circular barbells, captive-style rings, and clickers.
Eyebrow, Lip, Bridge & Cheek
Eyebrows commonly use curved barbells. Many lip placements use flat-back labrets. Bridge and cheek piercings require anatomy-specific sizing and professional assessment; jewelry should not be selected from a generic chart alone.
Navel & Other Body Piercings
Traditional navel jewelry commonly uses curved barbells, but anatomy and placement determine whether a traditional, floating, or other style is appropriate.
Tongue
Tongue piercings typically use straight barbells. Initial and healed lengths can differ significantly, so downsizing should be handled with a qualified piercer.
When to Ask a Piercer
See a reputable professional piercer for new piercings, downsizing, stretching, persistent irritation, embedded jewelry, unexpected swelling, or uncertainty about material and fit.
