💎 The Detail
Small but incredibly useful, this Piercing Insertion Taper is designed to make changing compatible externally threaded jewellery more controlled and straightforward. The gradually tapered shape helps guide the tool through an established piercing before your jewellery is connected and carefully drawn into position.
Crafted from 316L surgical steel and sold individually, the taper measures 30mm long and is available in 18 gauge (1.0mm), 16 gauge (1.2mm) or 14 gauge (1.6mm). Choose the gauge that matches your jewellery and piercing. Designed for use with compatible externally threaded studs, barbells, nipple bars and belly bars in established piercings; never force the taper if you experience resistance or pain.
How To Use

Select the taper that matches the gauge of your jewellery and existing piercing.

Disconnect the taper, then secure your jewellery as normal.

CARE & LONGEVITY
A little thoughtful care will help your jewellery look its best for longer.
Surgical steel is durable and easy to care for. Keep your jewellery clean and dry thoroughly after exposure to water or sweat.
Surgical steel is suitable for regular wear in healed piercings. Keep the jewellery clean and check that any removable ends remain secure.
After contact with sweat, seawater or chlorinated water, rinse your jewellery with clean water and dry it thoroughly using a soft cloth.
Clean gently using warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth before wearing or storing.
Avoid bleach, alcohol, abrasive cleaners and other harsh chemicals.
Store your jewellery somewhere clean and dry, ideally separately from other pieces to prevent scratches or tangling. The pouch provided with your order is perfect for keeping it protected.
Avoid knocking, pulling or catching crystal settings on clothing. Clean around decorative details gently and avoid soaking or using abrasive brushes.
Jewellery care is different from piercing aftercare. If your piercing is new, irritated or still healing, speak to a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.
