Where can you wear the Straight Externally Threaded Retainer? Almost anywhere - straight barbells are one of THE most versatile styles of jewelry we carry. Wear a straight barbell in piercings for the look of studs. The perks of a straight barbell: they move less and catch on fewer things than hoops. This is why piercers use curved or straight barbells instead of captive bead rings and circular barbells for fresh piercings. The Straight Externally Threaded Retainer is 316LVM surgical steel, so it's hypoallergenic! 316LVM surgical steel goes through a process called low carbon vacuum melting. The process sucks the nickel out of the steel. Nickel is one of the most common causes of metal allergies. This process cannot remove 100% of nickel. As a result, a small number of people react to it. We recommend our BioPlast, anodized, blackline, or untreated titanium body jewelry if this is a concern for you. It is , meaning that the post screws into the bead. The beads are available in flesh tone and clear to hide your piercings for work and other occasions. The beads are Lucite. Lucite is a high-grade acrylic. Lucite is ideal for body jewelry because it doesn't leech chemicals into your skin. This is a risk with other, cheaper plastics. This piece is a favourite for so many piercings (like we said before). Let's look at a few examples: tongue, nipples, conch piercings, transverse lobe piercings, project piercings, and so many more than we can list!
