How to Style Curved Barbells

How to Style Curved Barbells

Curved Barbells are a common choice of body piercings. They are metal curved bars adorned with balls or other ornaments on both sides. The name was derived from their shape: curved barbells became popular among people as they cause less irritation compared to different types of piercing, and this is because they contain less surface area where the skin touches directly with the jewellery. They are less expensive and add a stylish touch to your personality.

The curved barbell is a staple in the piercing world, and it's no wonder why it's so popular! It's a piece that can be worn in many different piercings, ranging from the ear to the eyebrow, nose and even bellybutton. Following are the types of piercing where you can use a curved barbell.

Eyebrow Piercing

Curved barbells for eyebrows are the common jewellery that is used for eyebrow piercing. This piercing is located above the eye, making it an ideal choice as it follows the natural curve of the eyebrow. If you're looking for a piece of jewellery that will look good through thick or thin eyebrows, a curved barbell like this one is the way to go. Moreover, a 16 gauge curved barbell of high-grade titanium, 14ct gold or 18ct gold is a popular choice for initial eyebrow piercings.

Belly Button Piercing

Belly Button or naval piercings can also be adorned with curved barbells. The curved barbell belly ring is a seamless size for this piercing as it allows flexibility and movement without putting pressure on the belly and making it a comfortable fit.

Tongue Piercing

Curved barbells are the best piercing for the tongue because they allow for a large amount of movement. A curved barbell has more contact surface area than other jewellery, allowing it more durability and strength. The size of the bar is longer than straight tongue bar and will be a great choice if you are interested in long-term wear.

Lip Piercing

If you want to highlight your beautiful lips, you can spice up your glamour game with curved barbells. Curved barbells are a stylish and simple way to make your lip piercing look great. 

Nipple Piercing

Nipple piercings are another excellent option for curved barbells. They can add an edgy flair to your look and help you look exclusive. When choosing a barbell for nipple piercing, choosing one that offers more flexibility than the traditional straight barbell is important. One of the best factors in selecting a curved barbell is its ability to accommodate movement. The curved barbell has been designed to minimize the risk of the jewellery migrating through the tissue.

Septum Piercing

The septum piercing is located between the nostrils in the middle of the nose. A curved horseshoe barbell for nose is an excellent choice because it follows the natural curve of your nose, reducing irritation and providing a better fit. Curved barbells with decorative balls or gems are perfect for septum piercings. They will enhance the look of your septum piercing and help bring out its beautiful flair. You can choose various styles, lengths and ball sizes to suit your preferences.

Daith Piercing

A curved barbell is an excellent choice for a daith piercing. The barbell is similar to an adjustable ring, but instead of moving the balls from one side to the other, you can move one ball on or off the end of the curved bar. This gives you more space for your jewellery in your piercing and provides more flexibility for changing it up.

So, Make your look pop with great curved barbells. Curved barbells are just like regular barbells but with a twist. Made with stainless steel, titanium or glass, these shiny pieces are perfect for show-stopping piercings or everyday wear, with various shapes, sizes and materials to choose from. 

Removing a Curved Barbell

The insertion process is simple, too! If you want to remove your jewellery, all you need to do is unscrew the piercing heads and remove them. Then, screw back onto the end of the barbell once everything's out. Make sure your hands are always clean while working with piercings. You don't want bacteria to get trapped in the hole.

If you're experiencing any signs of an infection, don't wait! See a doctor to ensure the jewellery is securely in place without causing an allergy or irritation. If your piercing is healing (and it should be if you haven't removed your jewellery for long), there should be no need to remove it. You can always switch up your design so that you don't get bored with it – just make sure you check with a professional before moving forward with any new designs to avoid potential problems.
