Types of body jewelry

People have this misconception that body jewelry is only about piercing. They associate this term with body piercing only. Therefore not many people opt to get their body pierced. Women limit their body piercing to their ear lobes and nose only. And men do not plump for any body jewelry item. To make you more aware about body jewelry, we are here to make you understand that body jewelry is of two kinds, piercing jewelry and non-piercing jewelry.


Non piercing jewelry is the one that gives an impression that your body is pierced when it is actually not. It is meant for people who are too scared to get their body pierced, yet want to look fashionable with the help of cool body jewelry. Many people are not really scared of piercing but they have a limitation of sensitive skin. Now you can look pierced without bearing any pain of body piercing with the help of non-piercing body jewelry. Such jewelry includes ear rings, nipple chains, fake belly button rings, handcuffed body jewelry and nipple shields. Such body jewelry is worn with the help of magnets or clips to hold the jewelry item firmly. These magnets are so strong that they hold your body jewelry tightly. Such jewelry is made up of special metals. These look identical to piercing jewelry. Such type of body jewelry has gained instant popularity for many reasons. Firstly, by opting for such jewelry you will not have to bear the pain of any body piercing. Secondly, it also reduces the chances of any allergies or injuries. Thirdly, such jewelry also cuts down on the hectic post piercing care. Fresh piercing jewelry should not be made of tarnishing metals like silver or allergic metals like nickel. It should only be made with the help of 14k gold body jewelry or stainless steel jewelry to avoid any skin infections.
