2 Of the best starter jewellery for new piercings

I have been interested in piercings and tattoos for a long time and have been doing some research over the past few years, a slow process, since I barely have time for lots of things. Whilst I took to finding out more before I ventured off and got some more piercings for my ears at this stage, I’ve learnt some valuable tips about cleaning it, avoiding infection and what jewellery is the best to wear as starter jewellery. Many people may have received (including me) their very first piercings at a local jewellery store or as in my case at a Discom (when those beauty-off-the counter supply retailers were still around). The only thing about having your ears pierced at a jewellery store is the fact that they use piercing guns which isn’t the most hygienic because it cannot be thoroughly cleaned from bacteria as needles can via an autoclave.

Bar bells or bead closures for starter jewellery?
Both bar bells and ball closure rings (captive bead ring) also abbreviated as “brc or cbr” are two of the most efficient jewellery to aid the healing process of new piercings.
Why are these surgical jewellery so much better to use than regular studs? Here are some characteristics that make ball closure rings and bell bars great:
Bar bells
·         Longer bar to allow  for swelling during the healing process
·         Longer bar does not put pressure on the piercing area
·         Easier to clean around the piercing area with salt water solution
·         Doesn’t get tangled in hair
Ball closure rings
·         The diameter of the ring allows for easy cleaning of the piercing area
·         The diameter of the ring allows room for the piercing area to swell during the healing process
·         Doesn’t put any pressure on the pierced area
Needless to say, surgical steel is also very affordable and the least prone to cause allergic reactions.  

Let me know your thoughts :)
