When shopping for Ring body jewelry, know that this type of body jewelry is measured by ring width or diameter. The Gauge of the body jewelry means the thickness. The smaller the gauge number, the thicker the body jewelry will be. Ring body jewelry should be no greater than 14 gauge if worn below the neck, due to the tearing factor.

Bars, are a type of body jewelry used in some piercings like the tongue and are measured in length. When your piercing is first done, a longer bar will be used. When your piercing heals, a shorter bar body jewelry can be used.

Implant grade stainless steel body jewelry is reasonably priced and safe to use for new piercings. This is least likely to produce a foreign body reaction or infection. More options available for new piercings are metals such as gold (at least 18 karat), titanium, or niobium. All of these cost more than implant grade stainless steel but are safe to use.

Silver body jewelry is not recommended for new piercings because tarnish from the silver gets deposited into the skin. The deposits will often darken the surrounding skin, whichcan be permanent. Note though, that sterling silver body jewelry can be safely worn on most healed piercings. It should notbe worn, however, in the mouth or genital area where the skin is moist.

Gold body jewelry should be 18 karat for new piercings and at least 14k gold for healed piercings. Gold-filled or gold-plated jewelry should never be used in any body piercings due to the fact that the metal is very thin. The finish wears away very easily and it will chip with even the slightest contact. Also, the white gold contains nickel, a metal that commonly causes an allergic reaction among people.

Titanium is also used for body jewelry. It is advisable, though, that Titanium body jewelry be highly polished in order to reduce the porosity (pores or very tiny holes in the metal). If titanium body jewelry is not highly polished this will create a bonding effect to the body tissue.
