When it comes to picking out nipple jewelry the options are virtually endless. However, some thoughtful pointers will make sure your search for the perfect nipple jewelry is easy and successful.

Size and Material

14 gauge is an ideal size for most nipple piercings. 14G is also one of the most common piercing sizes, so there will be plenty of options to choose from as far as jewelry.

The two main variations of nipple jewelry are barbells and clickers. Barbells are the simpler option, and they contain a straight bar and balls or other customizable ends. If you’re not interested in loose ends on your nipple jewelry, clickers are always an option as well. Any sort of clicker jewelry is designed to snap into place with an easy “click” on one side, and they will stay secure without any worries.

The purple amethyst single flare stone plugs are both affordable and have rich hues of purple and lavender. One of the cool things about the amethyst plugs is the natural marbling that stone creates. This means that you are getting a variety of hues and color saturation throughout the plug. Amethyst has been used for thousands of years to stimulate, soothe, and ease the mind and emotions. The Ancient Greeks believed that amethyst would cure drunkenness and it has become known as the stone to prevent overindulgence. Not only are you getting a gorgeous purple stone, but you are getting the benefits of Amethyst’s emotional energy.

Organic materials are becoming extremely popular in all aspects of life. Wood Plugs are a stylish way to show off your natural side. Wooden plugs and tunnels have endless style options and they are a healthy option for stretched ears. Wood is a fantastic material for healed lobes because it allows the skin to breathe and it helps eliminates the odor that comes with stretching. Wood plugs do keep some upkeep, but it is worth it!

One of the best parts of wearing wood is the different designs that can be created using different colors and species of wood. Each set of plugs come with their own unique design and have different inlays. The wooden star plugs are a favorite because of their solid white star logo inlay. The contrast between the dark areng wood and white inlay make the stars pop, these will quickly become the focal point of your look!

Piercers have a unique education on the body, they are aware of the vessels, nerves, and tissues that compose the body. Understanding where to place a piercing can be vital in its longevity and success.
