Screw-ball piercing ring (surgical steel·multi-site)

A circular piercing ring for a hole you already have. A single ball screws tight to close the ring, and the material is surgical steel. It is used regardless of the site, on ears, nose, nipples, penis, and labia.

Being threaded, it is gentler on the hole

Among circular rings there are also designs where the ball is pressed into place. With those you have to spring the ring open to take it out, which puts force on the hole. On this product the ball has an internal thread, so you unscrew it to take it out and screw it to lock it. The ring is never sprung open, so each change puts less strain on the hole, and it is easier to handle by hand.

It works at any site

The original description lists ears, nose, nipples, penis, and labia as places to wear it. Being a ring, it works whichever way the piercing runs, and the advantage is that you do not have to buy separate jewelry for every hole. The gauge and the ring diameter still have to match your own piercing, so measure the jewelry you currently wear before choosing.

Surgical steel as a material

The material is surgical steel, and the original description states it is a grade that does not cause allergies even when worn for long periods. In jewelry that stays against the body for a long time, the material is a safety matter, not a matter of taste. Cheap alloys corrode in sweat and body fluids, and the debris stays inside the hole and creates inflammation.

Before you use it

This product is jewelry, not a piercing tool. Without a hole there is nothing it can do, and the procedure to make a hole must be done at a professional piercing studio. Genitals and nipples are places where nerves and blood vessels are concentrated, so an accident from piercing them yourself leaves lasting damage. Even where a hole already exists, changing jewelry in a new hole that has not healed tears the healing tissue again, so wait until it has healed completely before you swap. A threaded ball is convenient but can work loose, so get into the habit of turning it by hand to check the tightness before any activity.
