MEASURING

Straight Barbells are very easy to measure. They are mesured along the shaft between both balls. Straight Barbells most common applications are for tongue piercings and industrial piercings. Straight barbells can be worn almost anywhere in the Body. Tongue, Eyebrow, Ear, Nipple..etc.. We carry and can make almost any size imaginable. Email us if you don't see the size you need.
Curved (Bent) Barbells are measured by the inner length between both balls. Curved Barbells are primarily used with eyebrow and belly piercings, but not limited to only these areas. The most popular size for an eyebrow piercing are 16 gauge 5/16" or 3/8" , and belly piercings are usually made in 14 gauge 3/8" or 7/16"
Circular Barbells are measured just like a CBR, at the largest inside diameter. You can also wear Circular Barbells in almost any piercing.
Captive Bead Rings (CBRs or BCRs) are measured at the largest inside diameter. You can wear captive rings in almost any piercing.
Labrets are measured along the shaft between the flat disc and ball. Perfect for a Marilyn Piercing. Add a jeweled ball to one of these to get that extra sophisticated look.
