Why two bars, not one
A fresh piercing is done with extra length to allow for swelling. Once the swelling drops — usually 4 to 8 weeks — that extra length starts to migrate, catches on waistbands, and heals at an angle. That is when you downsize.
Shops sell you the first bar. Almost nobody sells you the second one, so most people never downsize and the piercing heals crooked.
What you get
- 1 × 14G titanium curved barbell, 12 mm — healing length
- 1 × 14G titanium curved barbell, 8 mm — downsize length
| Gauge | 14G (1.6 mm) |
| Material | Implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136), unplated |
| Top | Red bezel-set cubic zirconia |
| Stones | Round red cubic zirconia set into both the top and bottom ball |
| Threading | Internally threaded (1.2 mm) |
When to switch
Switch to the 8 mm when the bar starts sliding freely and you can see 3 mm or more of metal on one side. Do not switch earlier — downsizing too soon causes embedding.
Both bars are the same design; the 12 mm is on the left in the photo, the 8 mm on the right.
