When we see a person wearing a horseshoe or a barbell in a circle, we normally get so much into their charms. These are circular barbell piercings that come in a ring shape to give you that required edgy look.
These piercings are super versatile and go with almost any type of piercing.
The ends of the barbell are typically adorned with beads, gems or other decorative elements, making them functional and totally trendy.
Here are some common circular barbells we see people wearing on a daily basis. These types are so handy and completely comfortable on the skin.
Check out these popular piercings where circular barbells totally slay:
For a sleek vibe, go for a helix piercing with a circular barbell on your upper ear cartilage. If you’re into inner cartilage piercings, a daith piercing with a cute bead or charm is stunning. And for something unique, a rook piercing in the antihelix with a circular barbell is a standout choice.
A septum piercing is the ultimate spot for a circular barbell. It sits right in the centre of your nose and can even be flipped up if needed. For a fresh twist on a classic, try a small circular barbell in your nostril piercing instead of the usual studs.
For lip piercings like labret, Monroe, or Medusa, a circular barbell adds a cool, edgy twist. If you want something striking and different, try a circular barbell in a tongue piercing.
For a chic and modern vibe, switch up your navel piercing from the usual curved barbell to a circular one.
When you’re rocking circular barbells, size isn’t just a number; it’s the whole vibe. Your piercer is going to hook you up with the right gauge, ranging from thin 18G to thicker 10G, depending on your piercing game. And don’t forget about the diameter. That’s the inner space of the barbell, and it’s got to be just right, none of that too tight or too loose business.
Q: Can I use a circular barbell in a fresh piercing?
A: It depends on the piercing. For some, like septum or daith piercings, it’s perfectly fine. For others, a straight barbell might be better for initial healing.
Q: How do I know if my circular barbell is the right size?
A: Your piercer will measure your piercing and recommend the best size. It should fit snugly without causing discomfort or being too loose.
Q: How often should I clean my circular barbell?
A: Clean it daily during the initial healing period. Once healed, you can reduce the frequency but still keep up with regular maintenance.
Q: Can I change my circular barbell at home?
A: Yes, but first, make sure your piercing is fully healed. Always wash your hands and use sterilised tools to avoid infections.
Q: What should I do if my piercing gets infected?
A: Don’t panic. Keep cleaning it with saline solution and consult your piercer or a medical professional if the symptoms persist.
