External Threaded Body Jewelry

External Threading is where the "Threading" or the screw ridge are on the outer part of the end of the barbell. Because Externally Threaded body jewelry isnt in the highest quality, it can often give a fresh piercing keloids or infections, causing some damage to fresh piercings. Be sure to take good piercing aftercare to avoid any complications! When inserting an Externally Threaded jewelry piece into a new piercing, the ridges around the end can ultimately cause tissue damage. Tissue damage and other abrasive pressures on a fresh piercing can lead to infection or rejection. The pros of an Externally Threaded piece is that they're perfect for healed piercings! There are many more options to choose from because they are the most common Threaded jewelry. You'll never be bored with all the affordable choices everywhere you look for body jewelry!

Internal Threaded Body Jewelry

Internally Threaded body jewelry is where the decorative top has the male screw and the base barbell has the female screw instead of the other way around. Internal jewelry is a top contender for professional piercers and is typically standard and even law in some states! It is the APP standard for piercing jewelry because they have less ridges around the ends, making sure the screw part doesn't touch your fresh piercing. It helps piercers pierce with ease and without hurting their clients because the part of the jewelry that passes through the skin is smooth with removable ends. Because of these safety benefits, Internally Threaded body jewelry is usually a bit pricier than the basic Externally Threaded jewelry.

Threadless Body Jewelry

Non-threaded body jewelry is held together and secured by tension. Our OneFit Threadless Jewelry line includes no threading or screw on ends. Instead, the jewelry top or decorative piece has a pin that someone then bends and slides into the bottom base, creating tension. Some people become confused about Threadless jewelry or its benefits, leading them to completely avoid it. Watch our video below on how to properly set up your Onefit Threadless Jewelry! Jewelry with no threading is perfect for fresh and healed piercings alike. It stays in place while providing an abrasion-free way to switch out your jewelry.
