But, in order for everything to be really beautiful and right, you should pay special attention to the choice of suitable earrings. As you know, it is not the piercing itself that attracts everyone's attention, but the earring.
What it is
An earring is a piece of metal, most often precious, that is used to decorate a skin puncture in the earlobe, 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 are products made of wood and bone.
The term "Earring" itself is correct precisely in relation to the jewelry in the earlobe. But now more and more often this term is also used to refer to jewelry 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 piercing of a certain part of the body.Holes differ from each other in angle and depth, or rather, the distance from the point of the inlet to the point of the outlet. The earring must exactly match these parameters so as not to harm its owner.
In addition, earrings differ from each other in decor. In some types of piercing, the use of heavy massive jewelry is unacceptable.

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

Piercing jewelry is divided into types depending on the puncture site. Let's 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. At the same time, when puncturing with an exit point in the earlobe, it is straight rods that are used. With this puncture, other jewelry will not work. In the case of a cartilage puncture, you can also wear a barbell, but the ode should be small. And the primary decoration should also be a barbell so that the channel is formed without complications.
Days ear piercing is carried out in the place of the protruding cartilage, located near the auditory canal. Rings, half rings and curved rods are applicable here. Initially, a curved rod is used. The ear curl piercing near the base can be adorned 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 rods with various forms of the rod are used.
When piercing in the area of the earlobe, in addition to the familiar earrings, the so-called tunnels are used. With the help of stretch marks, large holes are formed in the earlobe where the earring-tunnel is inserted.
There are other options for ear piercings, but the list of earrings is still the same.
For the navel
In the case of a puncture of this zone, special Persians are used - bananas. At first glance, the earring is easy to confuse with a curved barbell. But in the manufacture of a banana, the length of the rod and the angle of bend are of fundamental importance. A properly selected earring is almost not felt.
For the nose
Again, there are two types of piercing: the wing piercing and the septum piercing (puncture between the septum and the cartilage). Nostril is used to decorate the wing. This small earring is reminiscent of the carnations we are accustomed to. May have a variety of decor on the outer end.But most often used nostril with glass of different colors. Less commonly, rings are used for this puncture.
Less commonly, rings are used for this puncture. The septum (puncture between the cartilage and the septum) is decorated with circulars. By the way, initially such punctures were made by punks in order to stand out and immediately see “their own” in the crowd.
into cartilage
As a rule, the cartilages of the ear are pierced. Rods, microlabrets, spirals are used.
For language
When piercing the tongue, rods are most often used.
If you decide to pierce the tip of the tongue, then choose the right ring.
For lips
Most often, you can notice punctures of the lips with labrets. This is due to safety rules. Because the flat disk is soldered to the base of the earring, there is no risk of you swallowing the clasp or scratching it. Plus, you can change the ball without pulling the base itself out of the puncture. And in the punctures of the lips, spirals are used, they are also twists.
For nipples
When piercing the nipples, a variety of earrings is possible. It can be bananas, rings or circulars.
For intimate piercing
For this type of puncture, either bananas or circulars are used. The more daring can choose a ring as a decoration, but there is a risk of injury. Speaking about intimate piercing, it is worth noting that the channel is formed for about a month and for this period one should refrain from sexual intercourse.
For eyebrow
Bananas, rings, and circulars adorn the faces of young people with eyebrow piercings.
