Spirals / Twisters
Spirals in body piercing refer to jewellery that is designed in a spiral or corkscrew shape. This type of jewellery is popular for various types of piercings due to its unique aesthetic and versatility. Here’s what you should know about spirals used in body piercing:
1. Design and Shape
- Spiral Shape: The jewellery is shaped like a helix or corkscrew, allowing it to spiral through the piercing. It usually has two open ends or balls at each end, which can be decorative or simple.
- Materials: Spirals can be made from various materials, including surgical steel, titanium, Black and Gold PVD. High-quality materials are essential to prevent irritation and infection.
2. Types of Piercings
- Earlobes: Spirals are commonly used in earlobe piercings, giving a dynamic look as the spiral twists through the piercing.
- Helix and Cartilage: They are also popular in helix and other cartilage piercings, where the spiral shape adds visual interest.
- Septum: In some cases, spirals are used in septum piercings, creating a bold and unusual look.
- Lip and Nose Piercings: Spirals can also be used in lip and nose piercings, although this is less common.
