It is so easy to lose a ball or spike. So maybe buy a couple to keep as spares in your wallet! The spike option is great, as you don’t have to buy a whole new bar.

Tips Spikes will screw onto any 16 or 14 gauge threaded bar that you already have. Or select from our basic barbells.

16 Gauge is 1.2 mm size of bar which is the thinner style and sized body jewellery bar. Usually used for lip piercing or eyebrow piercings.

14 Gauge is 1.6 mm  for the thicker bar. It is usually used on a lip, eyebrow or industrial ear piercing. It is not commonly used on a tongue piercing or belly button piercing as the point would make it uncomfortable.

Surgical steel meaning

Spikes are made from surgical steel {316 L}. This means they are implant-grade surgical stainless steel. This steel is probably the most common and most widely used metal for body piercings. What is “Surgical stainless steel”? Surgical stainless steel is an informal term which refers to certain grades of stainless steel that are used in biomedical applications. Surgical Stainless Steels (316 L) are used for bone fixation screws, body pins, bone plates, staples, amongst many other applications. We do not play or gamble with your health.

If you’re wearing surgical steel  jewellery and are having problems with irritation or a new piercing that just won’t heal, it is possible that you have a intolerance of surgical steel and might want to try titanium.
