What the AI looks for in Women's Body Piercing Rings
- Inner diameter
- Measure the inner diameter in millimeters or fractions of an inch; snug-fit and initial-fit rings differ A ring that is too small pinches and embeds, and one that is too large snags.
- Gauge
- Match your existing gauge exactly Rings with a thinner gauge than the piercing can cut through over time.
- Closure type
- Clickers (hinged segment rings) are easiest to change; captive bead and seamless rings need tension and sometimes ring pliers A poor closure loses its bead or opens unexpectedly, and the closure type determines whether you can change the ring yourself.
- Healing stage
- Wear rings mainly in healed piercings; most cartilage piercings heal better with a stud or barbell first Rings rotate and move more, which irritates a fresh channel.
- Clicker hinge quality
- The hinge should close with a firm click and show no gap at the seam Loose hinges catch hair and fabric and can fall open.
Brands that matter
- Anatometal: Seamless, captive and segment rings in implant metals.
- Industrial Strength: Titanium hinged rings and captive bead rings.
- BVLA: Solid gold clickers and seam rings.
- LeRoi: Steel and titanium captive bead rings.
What to avoid
- Bendable 'fake' rings with sharp cut ends worn in real piercings
- Plated clickers in sensitive piercings
- Rings sized only as 'small, medium, large' with no stated inner diameter
- Twisting a seamless ring open sideways with your fingers until it deforms
Questions
Why does my new ring look too big?
Rings in fresh piercings are sized larger to allow for swelling. A snugger diameter can be fitted once the piercing has healed.
