Insertion Pins
​
Used for guiding jewellery into the piercing channel. The tapers below are very handy for anyone wanting the change jewellery themselves at home. Each one comes with a sachet of sterile lubricant as healed piercings can become dry inside and the lubricant eases the process.
They're very simple to use, simply screw or push the taper into the jewellery you're wanting to insert, then align the tip of the insertion pin into the piercing channel and gently follow through. It's important you don't push too hard or attempt to break the skin, these are not made for puncturing as they're blunt, they are simply used as a guide pin.
After the whole pin has gone through the piercing channel and the desired jewellery is inserted, simply removed the taper and put on the attachment to secure. A little wipe with a tissue to remove any residue lubricant and you're good to go.
Jewellery Care
​
Try to avoid using cosmetics and soaps directly on the jewellery. Avoid snagging or catching the jewellery as best as possible.
For threadless jewellery it's a good idea to check the attachment is pushed in flush to the post regularly.
For threaded jewellery, best to check jewellery is tightly screwed all the way onto the post regularly.
You can do this using powder free gloves for extra grip and avoid bacteria getting into a fresh piercing.
Please don't use any tools on solid gold jewellery as gold is soft and it is easily damaged. For titanium jewellery although its difficult to damage, the use of tools are still not recommended as they can cause surface scratches.
