CONNECTION & COMPATIBILITY

Threadless jewelry uses compatible decorative ends with small pins that insert into the hollow barbell and are held securely through tension.

Compatibility can vary between manufacturers and jewelry styles, so always verify that your selected ends are compatible with the barbell.

UNDERSTANDING WEARABLE LENGTH

Wearable length is the portion of the barbell that sits between the two ends.

This is the measurement that determines how much space the jewelry provides for your anatomy.

A barbell that is too short can create pressure on the tissue. A barbell that is unnecessarily long can allow excessive movement, snagging, irritation, and jewelry that simply doesn't sit the way it should.

Even two people with the same piercing may require different wearable lengths.

WHERE CAN I WEAR IT?

Depending on gauge, length, anatomy, placement, and the ends being used, straight barbells may be appropriate for piercings such as:

Nipple • Tongue • Bridge 

These are placement suggestions only and do not guarantee fit.

Different placements may also require specific jewelry dimensions, end sizes, or barbell configurations.

FRESH PIERCING FRIENDLY? Yes.

The suitability of a straight barbell for an initial piercing depends on the material, gauge, wearable length, jewelry ends, anatomy, placement, and piercing type.

Professional-quality material alone does not mean every barbell configuration is appropriate for every fresh piercing.

For fresh or healing piercings, we recommend having jewelry professionally selected and fitted by a piercer.

NEED A BARBELL FOR A HEALED PIERCING?

If your piercing was initially fitted with extra length to accommodate swelling, don't assume your original barbell length is the size you need now.

Many piercings require downsizing as healing progresses.

Properly fitted jewelry should provide enough room for your anatomy without unnecessary excess length or pressure.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Body jewelry is not one-size-fits-all.

Before ordering, make sure you know:

• Your required gauge

• Your required wearable length

• Your required connection type

• Whether compatible ends are included

• If purchasing ends separately, whether they are compatible with this barbell

• Whether this jewelry style is appropriate for your piercing

If you're unsure of your size, please don't guess. Visit our Body Jewelry Sizing Guide or contact us before ordering.

For exact sizing, an in-person fitting with a professional piercer is always best.

GOOD TO KNOW

Professional body jewelry is often sold as individual components. This allows you to pair the barbell length your anatomy needs with the decorative ends you actually want.

When purchasing components separately, always verify the gauge, connection type, threading, and manufacturer compatibility.

PLEASE NOTE

• This listing is for ONE straight barbell shaft

• Jewelry is sold individually, not in pairs.

• Decorative ends are sold separately.

• Compatibility between different manufacturers is not guaranteed.

• Wearable length is measured between the jewelry ends.

• Product images may be enlarged to show detail.

• Placement suggestions do not guarantee fit.

• Never force incompatible jewelry components together.

• Never force jewelry into a piercing.

• For health and safety reasons, body jewelry is final sale.
