Get Familiar With Body Piercing Tools

As mechanical as they may sound, piercing tools are quintessential to perform a safe procedure, so that you can come to enjoy the results of your piercing experience.

The most basic of the tools used for a piercing is the humble needle. This one is made of surgical steel; strong and of the highest quality. The thickness of the needle will vary depending on the type of piercing being carried out. The piercing needle has a hollow plastic tube called a cannula. It is attached to the needle and contains the jewelry that will be inserted into the opening made. This is always created from good quality metal and safe for use on wounds. Piercings require instruments like the Foerster clamp; Septum clamps or needle drivers to hold the skin during the procedures. Dermal anchor is another insertion tool used widely.

Small & big tapers and stretching tools like the spiral shape and various others can be used to keep the hole from closing while the decorated, designed and even glow-in-the-dark, stunning pieces of art, are used as jewelry. Jewelry pliers and ring openers are instruments that assist in changing the jewelry after the piercing to ensure smooth removal and replacement. Other items that you will most definitely see in a piercing studio are autoclaves, which are used to sterilize the equipment being used. Disposable needles and gloves will be discarded once the procedure is done.

Clean and sterile settings and instruments are a must for any piercing and is religiously followed by all professional piercers.
