Decorative nipple barbells are an essential part of any busy studio’s inventory. However, improper handling can mar high-polish finishes and alter the alignment of the ends.
We put together a quick one-minute visual guide detailing how to safely handle front-facing decorative pieces:
Proper Handling Guidelines:
- Identify the stationary end: Front-facing designs feature one permanently set end so gems stay aligned. Only unscrew the removable side—forcing the glued-in place stationary end will change the alignment.
- Stop at snug: Thread until finger tight. Over-rotating forces front-facing gems out of alignment and risks loosening the factory-set side.
-
Ditch the metal tools: Skip pliers, nitrile or latex gloves provide all the traction you need without scratching surfaces.
