There are a few things to consider when buying body jewelry
online. You can definitely find the same quality or even better
quality of body jewelry online than at your local mall or
tattoo shop. But to ensure that you are looking at items of
appropriate prices and a company that is reputable, here are
some questions you may want to ask the online body jewelry
company:
Is all of your jewelry brand new?
How do you package and ship your body jewelry?
What materials are your body jewelry made out of?
Do you have a referral list of satisfied customers?
Are you a licensed business?
You also want to know something about sizing when you are
buying body jewelry online. Before purchasing new body jewelry,
it is important to understand these body jewelry sizing terms.
Gauge = thickness of the jewelry. The smaller
the gauge number, the thicker the jewelry
Length = length of the jewelry shaft. Straight
and curved barbells are measured between the balls.
Diameter = distance across the inside of
a circular jewelry piece.
Ball = ball diameter. Size of ball or bead
on the jewelry piece.
If you’re buying body jewelry online when you already
have a piercing, become familiar with how and when to change
body jewelry. Changing body jewelry is an easy task as long
as you are careful to give your piercing the best and safest
care. You should only start changing body jewelry once you
are completely healed. Depending on the location of your piercing,
this can be up to several months.
Unless you want to shrink or stretch your piercing, you should
use the same gauge of body jewelry. Also, make sure not to
use jewelry designed for ear piercings on your body piercing.
Most body piercings are wider than the thickness of the average
earlobe, thus ear jewelry isn’t appropriate for other
piercings.
