ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Gold PVD plated titanium internally threaded tongue barbells, Thickness 1.6mm, Ball size 5mm
The Gold PVD plated titanium internally threaded tongue barbells, Thickness 1.6mm, Ball size 5mm represents a classic staple in professional body jewelry, featuring a straight bar design capped with two 5mm balls. This configuration offers an ideal balance of weight and comfort, essential for piercings that experience constant movement. The radiant gold finish is achieved through a high-adhesion PVD coating, providing a luxurious, warm appearance comparable to solid gold but with the structural integrity and surface resilience required for the oral environment or body wear.
Constructed from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium, this piece is fully biocompatible, a critical factor in preventing allergic reactions or irritation in sensitive tissue. Since these items are supplied sterilized, they are appropriate for fresh piercings; however, a professional piercer must verify that the bar length accommodates any initial swelling specific to the procedure. The jewelry utilizes an internal threading system on a 1.6mm (14g) post, ensuring the bar surface remains smooth to avoid damaging tissue during insertion. Anatomically, it is compatible with tongue and nipple piercings. It is worth mentioning that compatibility will depend on the product measurements and the anatomical compatibility of the person.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this piece suitable for initial piercings? Yes, this model can be used for initial piercings as it is manufactured from ASTM F136 implant grade titanium and is delivered sterilized. However, its use must be evaluated and approved by a professional piercer to ensure it is suitable regarding safety as well as the anatomy and needs of the client.
-
Why is internal threading important for tongue piercings? Internal threading prevents sharp screw threads from passing through the piercing channel. For the tongue, which heals quickly and is highly sensitive, this prevents tearing and bacteria buildup inside the wound.
-
Does the gold finish withstand the mouth's pH? Yes, the PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating is extremely resistant to corrosion and the moist, acidic environment of the mouth, maintaining its color and shine much longer than traditional gold plating.
-
Are 5mm balls safe for nipple piercings? Yes, 5mm balls are a safe standard size for nipple piercings, as they are large enough to prevent the jewelry from sinking or embedding into the piercing channel.
-
What gauge is 1.6mm? A thickness of 1.6mm is equivalent to 14g (14 gauge), which is the standard thickness used professionally for tongue and nipple piercings to ensure stability and prevent the "cheese wire effect" (migration caused by too thin wire).
