ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
High polished titanium internally threaded tongue barbells, Thickness 1.6mm, Ball size 5mm
The High polished titanium internally threaded tongue barbells, Thickness 1.6mm, Ball size 5mm is the quintessential staple in professional body jewelry. This classic straight barbell design stands out for its High Polish finish, revealing the natural silver brilliance of titanium with mirror-like quality. This finish is not only aesthetic but functional; being an extremely smooth and non-porous surface, it reduces plaque or bacteria accumulation, which is vital in oral piercings like the tongue or sensitive areas like the nipple. The 5mm balls provide the ideal weight and size to keep the jewelry stable and secure.
Manufactured from ASTM F136 implant grade titanium, this jewelry offers maximum biocompatibility and is significantly lighter than surgical steel, increasing user comfort. Since these pieces are delivered sterilized, they are suitable for initial piercings; however, it is essential to consult a professional piercer to confirm that the bar length is appropriate for the initial swelling of the procedure. The standard 1.2mm internal threading system on a 1.6mm (14g) post ensures there are no sharp edges to scratch the tissue when inserting the jewelry. It is anatomically compatible with tongue, nipple, and various ear 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 it important to use titanium in the tongue? Titanium is much lighter than steel. In a tongue piercing, this reduces the risk of dental damage from impact and fatigue on the tongue muscle, in addition to being hypoallergenic.
-
What does internal threading mean? It means the bar is hollow and the screw is on the ball. This leaves the surface of the bar completely smooth, preventing threads from hurting sensitive tissue when entering or exiting the piercing.
-
Does it work for nipple piercings? Yes, the 14g (1.6mm) gauge with 5mm balls is the most used standard size for nipples, as it offers the necessary stability to prevent migration.
-
Does the shiny finish fade? No, mechanically polished titanium maintains its shine. It only requires regular cleaning with mild soap and water or alcohol-free mouthwash (in the case of oral use) to stay flawless.
