But, in order for everything to be really beautiful and correct, special attention should be paid to the choice of suitable earrings. As you know, it is not the puncture itself that attracts everyone's attention, but the earring itself.

What it is

Earring is a product made of metal, most often precious, which decorate a puncture of the skin in the ear lobe, on the navel or other parts of the body. The most common materials for earrings are silver and gold, sometimes various alloys are used. Less common products made of wood and bone.

The term "earring" is correct in relation to the jewelry in the earlobe. But now more and more often this term is also called jewelery for other parts of the body. To better understand this topic, you need to know the correct names of jewelry and their specifics.

Features and benefits

Piercing earrings are designed in such a way that they are ideally combined with the puncture of a specific part of the body. The holes differ in the angle and depth, and more precisely, the distance from the point of the inlet to the point of the outlet. The earring must exactly match these parameters in order not to cause harm to its owner.

In addition, earrings differ in decor. In some types of piercing is not allowed the use of heavy solid jewelry.

Kinds

Earring for piercing, as noted, only in the general sense are called "Earring." Before you learn about the conformity of piercing and jewelry, check out the names and variety of products:

Jewelry for piercing are divided into types depending on the puncture site. We will deal with this in more detail:

For ears

Different earrings are used depending on the exact puncture site. When piercing anti tragus straight and curved rods, half rings, rings are used. In this case, when piercing with an exit point in the ear lobe, straight barbells are used. With this puncture, other decorations will not work. In the case of a puncture only the cartilage can also be worn barbell, but the ode must be small. And the primary decoration should also be a bar, so that the channel is formed without complications.

Dais ear piercing is performed at the site of the protruding cartilage, located near the auditory canal. Here applicable rings, half rings and rods of curved form. Originally used curved bar. Ear curl piercing near the base can be decorated with any earring.

A special subspecies of ear piercing is Industrial. It consists of two holes connected by one earring. Most often, such a puncture is done in the upper part of the ear. Here we use rods with different rod shapes.

When piercing around the earlobe, except for all the familiar earrings, so-called tunnels are used. With the help of stretch marks in the lobe, large holes are formed where the earring tunnel is inserted.

There are other options for ear piercing, but the list of earrings is the same.

For navel

In the case of the puncture of this zone, special Persians are used - bananas. At first glance, the earring is easily confused with a curved barbell. But in the manufacture of a banana, the length of the rod and the bend angle are of fundamental importance. Properly selected earring is almost not felt.

For nose

Again, there are two options for puncture: a puncture of the wing and septum (a puncture between the partition and cartilage). For the decoration of the wing applied nostril. This small earring resembles the studs we are used to. May have a varied decor on the outer end. But most often used nostril with glass of different colors. Less often for this puncture use rings.

Less often for this puncture use rings. Septum (puncture between cartilage and septum) is decorated with circulars. By the way, initially such punctures were made by punks in order to stand out and immediately see "their" people in the crowd.

In cartilage

As a rule, the cartilage of the ear is pierced. Rods, microlabts, spirals are used.

For language

When piercing the tongue most often used rods.

If you decide to pierce the tip of the tongue, then choose the appropriate ring.

For lips

Most often you can see pierced lips with labrets. This is due to safety rules. Since the flat disk is soldered to the base of the earring, there is no risk that you swallow the clasp or scratch it. Plus, you can change the ball without pulling out the base itself from the puncture. And in the puncture lips are used spirals, they are twists.

For nipples

When piercing nipples possible variety of earrings. These can be bananas, rings or circulars.

For intimate piercing

For this type of punctures are used either bananchiki or circulars. The more courageous can choose a ring as decoration, but there is a risk of injury. Speaking of intimate piercing, it is worth noting that the channel has been formed for about a month and you should refrain from sexual intercourse for this period.

For eyebrows

Bananas, rings, and circulars adorn the faces of young people when piercing their eyebrows.
