The most common jewelry used for a nipple piercing is a 14 gauge (14G) barbell, but you might get pierced with 16G (thinner than 14G) or even 12G (thicker than 14G) depending on your nipple size. You will most commonly be pierced with a straight barbell.
Additionally, what are the balls on piercings called?
A captive bead ring (CBR), ball closure ring (BCR), captive hoop, or captive ball ring is a common example of body piercing jewelry.
Also to know is, what are the balls on septum called?
Circular Barbells
Often (incorrectly) referred to as “horseshoe rings,” these babies are a hoop that goes about 3/4 of the way around, with two balls/spikes/endings that screw onto each end. I only recommend internally threaded barbells since the externally threaded ones tear up your piercing.
Do nipple piercings go off in airports?
Airport security and body piercings, for the most part, get along just fine. In all likeliness, your body jewelry won’t set off the metal detector, but if it does, it should only be a matter of showing the jewelry to a TSA agent before you’re on your merry way. Never let your piercings get in the way of a good time.
Do nipple piercings make your nipples hard forever?
Do pierced nipples stay hard forever? “No, the nipple will not stay erect, but it will be more pronounced.”
