There are many variations of piercing posts and/or backs. Here is a brief summary…

First up is the Traditional friction back, aka. the Butterfly-post. Found on most traditional earrings. It is generally not comfortable as it pulls, yanks and gets caught on everything from bed sheets to hair. We do not recommend it.

Next is the Threaded post. Great for body jewelry like-belly button piercings, nipple piercings and other parts. Common on stainless steel or titanium jewelry. Due to the softness of gold, the threads will stripo and you will lose your jewelry. Threaded jewelry must be checked every 2-3 days to ensure they aren’t loose. Inevitably one forgets and expensive gemstones go missing.

Saving the best for last. A threadless stainless steel, pushpin is soldered onto the jewelry back and inserted inside a smooth threadless titanium Labret. A high degree of friction keeps it in place. We strongly recommended this option. It will stay in place but can be removed if necessary. Once healed, the flatback labret is comfortable and the friction will keep the jewelry from loosening and falling out.

Seam Rings are opened and closed manually. It is preferable to have your piercer perform this but not absolutely necessary.

Clickers are akin to a hinged hoop earring and are are easily removed or secured onto the ear.

When it comes to choosing the right material for your new piercing, the variety of metals and materials available can be overwhelming. It's crucial to know what's being inserted into your body, as this choice can significantly affect the healing process and long-term comfort of your piercing.

Highly Recommended Materials

We cannot stress enough the importance of doing your homework before deciding to get pierced. The quality of the material used is paramount for a safe and successful healing process. At the forefront of recommended materials are:

Implant Grade Titanium: Known for its hypoallergenic properties and bio-compatibility, implant-grade titanium is an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies to other metals.
Stainless Steel: Make sure it's of a high quality, ideally surgical-grade, to minimize the risk of allergic reactions and ensure the safety of your piercing.
Solid Gold: While an opulent choice, solid gold used for piercing must be hypoallergenic, specifically free from nickel and cadmium, to avoid any adverse reactions. It's crucial that the gold is of high quality, typically 14k or 18k, to ensure it's both durable and safe.

There are two different types of earring backs that piercing shops can use to embellish your ears. They are push backs and flat backs.

They include a post with a slight bend that slides into a hollow back. These earrings are easier to take on and off, but slightly less secure than flat backs.

Flat back stud earrings offer a greater degree of security because they are threaded on or pus in with friction. It is nearly impossible for them to sip off of your ears. On the downside, they can be moderately difficult to get on and off. One thing to keep in mind is that flat back backs are highly recommended for earrings for the best outcome to heal your piecing.
