💎 The Detail
Small, simple and incredibly useful, this Piercing Insertion Taper is designed to take some of the frustration out of changing internally threaded body jewellery. The tapered shape helps create a smooth transition through an established piercing, while the threaded connection keeps compatible jewellery aligned as it follows the taper into position.
Crafted from durable 316L surgical steel, the taper measures 30mm long and is available in 14 gauge (1.6mm) or 16 gauge (1.2mm). Sold individually and suitable for compatible internally threaded studs, barbells, nipple bars and belly bars. Always choose the same gauge as your jewellery, use only with established piercings and never force the taper through resistance or pain. This tool is designed to assist with jewellery insertion and is not intended to create or stretch a piercing.
How To Use
Designed to help guide compatible internally threaded jewellery through an established piercing.
Select the taper that matches the gauge of your jewellery and existing piercing.
Gently insert the tapered end through your established piercing using slow, even pressure.
Screw the internally threaded bar or post securely onto the threaded end of the taper.
Carefully continue guiding the taper through until the attached jewellery follows smoothly into the piercing.
Unscrew the taper from the jewellery, then attach and securely tighten your decorative threaded end.
Important: This taper is designed to help insert compatible internally threaded jewellery into an existing, established piercing. Never force the taper through resistance or pain.

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.
