How Calor Tapers Work

Calor Tapers

Calor Style Tapers

Tapers can be used to stretch out and change jewellery in existing piercings such as lobe, nose, nipple, belly, lip and eyebrow piercings.

Calor style tapers are recessed so you can rest the jewellery inside the taper; this helps prevent slippage while chasing the jewellery through the piercing.
