Industrial Scaffold Bars

Industrial Piercing Bars - Scaffold Barbells

Industrial piercings, also called scaffold piercings (UK/Ireland), are a unique ear adornment featuring two piercings connected by a single barbell. Industrial Barbell are typically between 30mm and 50mm in length. We have industrial scaffold bars in steel, Titanium, Black PVD, Gold PVD and Bioplast. The gauge is typically 1.6mm (14 gauge) but can also be the smaller 1.2mm or the larger 2.0 or 2.4mm if the piercing is stretched.

Here's the breakdown:

Double Piercing: It involves two separate punctures in the upper cartilage of your ear, typically the helix and anti-helix.

Barbell Connection: A straight barbell jewellery piece links these piercings, creating an "industrial" look.

Healing: Healing can take 4-6 months, requiring careful aftercare to avoid complications.

Variations:

While the classic industrial connects helix and anti-helix, some variations exist:

Vertical Industrial: Piercings on the upper and lower conch.

Rook-Daith: Connects rook and daith piercings.

Things to Consider:

Anatomy: Not everyone's ear anatomy is suitable for an industrial piercing due to the precise alignment needed.

Aftercare: Cleaning and avoiding snags are crucial for proper healing.
