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.

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 standand for piercing jewelry because they have less ridges around the ends, making sure the screw part doesnt touch your fresh piercing. It helps peircers 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.
