## Description

Review: Lifesaver for my nostril piercing!!!! - Firstly, I want to share this tip (and the reason I ordered this) because it may have saved me from a horrible injury: With the possible exception of earlobes and eyebrows (ok, I’m now re-thinking the eyebrow thing now), I strongly recommend wearing press-fit jewelry, or any type that does NOT screw in, lock in, or otherwise prevent immediate removal in case of accidents! The other day, I was exhausted, went out to my car, and…opened the door on my face🤦🏻‍♀️!!! Not my most brilliant moment, but I’m grateful- I ended up with a gushing nosebleed, but still, yay- I didn’t break my nose. I didn’t notice until an hour later that the force from my door took out my nostril stud- if it had been a threaded piece, I could have injured myself much worse- that’s when I realized that press-fit is the way to go with most, if not all of my piercings. Ok, review time! This tool is a LIFESAVER! Ok not literally, but it made my day go much easier. The last time I had to insert a press-fit stud, it involved jewelry pliers, bending my nose at strange angles, and over an hour of my time. Not fun. I ordered this tool the other day out of frustration with my klutzy experience, along with feeling too darn sore to deal with a game of “let’s blindly find the inside of my nostril piercing site again!”. I want to hug the person who invented this tool. Best thing ever. Although it’s not super easy to use inside my nostril, I had success within a few minutes. Because I couldn’t find my inner piercing site at first, I inserted the thinner end of the tool into my piercing from the outside and slowly pushed it through- still required a little bending of weird angles, but it wasn’t difficult- if you find it impossible, there’s another tool that can help if you have difficulty with this, called a piercing tweezer- I think! Or it's called something very similar, my apologies that I can’t remember at the moment! Inserting the tool from the outside helped me remember the exact angle of my piercing and helped me locate it again a moment later, when I inserted it from the inside (with my jewelry attached to the end- this is the most genius thing since sliced bread, a definite 10/10 on my YAY scale!). It did take me a second to locate the piercing spot from the inside, and yes, more weird bending of the tip of my nose, but not bad at all- it was much easier to find because remembering the exact piercing angle helped me visualize and remember where it should be. A few seconds later, my jewelry was in, I pressed in the top of my stud, and I was done! Still sore from my car door being such a jerk, but resolved nonetheless. I SO highly recommend this tool, and if using it for a nostril or septum piercing , maybe order some piercing pliers/tweezers/whatever they’re called as well, depending on the shape of your nose along with your tolerance for weird bendy angles. Lastly, I can’t stress this enough: wear press-fit or other jewelry that doesn’t lock in your piercing, at least with cartilage piercings!!!! Also, look out for car doors when you’re tired, especially if you’re klutzy like me🤣! I’m now re-thinking my eyebrow jewelry as well, and I’ll be thrilled to have this tool when I insert my next piece, which I think I’ll go ahead and order after I finish this! I’m glad I learned this one the easy way, and shared this in the hope that I can help prevent others from ending up with a bad injury- you never know when your car door’s going to take out its rage on your face!🤦🏻‍♀️🤣
Review: Worked very well! - It worked! Accidentally shrunk my nip piercings to a 14g when I wore the wrong size jewelry. I’m normally 12g. Was able to use this tool to get my correctly sized jewelry back in relatively easy. Not so sure about the stainless steel part as I always use titanium for all my piercings. Thouroughly washed and sterilized with alcohol before use but I think it’s fine.

## Features

- Size: 16ga(1.2mm) thickness,2.4'' length(60mm). One package contains 2 insertion pins. ① Style A: a hollow at the end, ( "No Thread Inside" will NOT screw onto your externally threaded jewelry,Just holding). ② Style B: No hollow,just stretch piercing hole to 16g(1.2mm) thickness.
- ① Style A Function: Used for assisting in the placement of shaft. Put piercing bar in the end of the pin, then push it though.Pin will come out of the hole and piercing bar will be in. Great for changing jewelry. Groove at the end helps prevent slipped and cover external thread to avoid injuries while insert.Protect skin from external threads scratch. ② Style B Function: Stretch/enlarge hole for gauge modification purpose,gauge up size from 18g to 16g.(Used some alcohol during this process)
- Advantage: ① More safe and smooth than acrylic taper which hold bacteria and difficult to heal. ② Painless and safe when piercing bar push into hole as the large end cover external thread. ③ Doesn’t irritate as our taper grow from small to large gradually.④ Reinsert/reopen a piercing hole that had shrunk "a bit" or begin to close up,Actually don't need go back to piercer.⑤ It's not as needle sharp but pointed enough.
- Tips: ① Go slow when stretching,or using some lubricant,it glided through smoothly and painless. ② Push piercing bar through slowly to allow time to adjust. ③ Can be autoclaved and reused as steel taper more comfortable and durable.④ Why no thread inside the hole? as your external thread bar isn't made from our shop,I'm not sure if both end threads match,so holding bar will be better. ⑤ Can't fit to any threadless piercing jewelry.
- 316L Implant Grade Stainless Steel Material. Insertion Taper's option with 20g/18g/16g/14g/12g/10g/8g,Please choose the size that suits you best.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where can I get a 0 gauge taper used for a Prince Albert?**
A: You don't need a taper for a PA. Penile tissue is very vascular, and stretches easily on its own. I recommend a curved barbell for PA's.

**Q: NewkeepsR- i love your products, however, can't you label items inside the black envelope. Since a barcode label covers the outside labeling info?**
A: You should ask the seller directly through the app, maybe that will help you.

**Q: Can I use this to thread in a 90degree surface bar?**
A: Usually surface bar's thread is inside,so pls select option with  "Taper for 14G internal thread body jewelry".

**Q: Can I use this to put in external threaded barbell**
A: yes, of course.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works good !!
*by M***A on March 30, 2025*

Awesome!! I tried dead stretching my 16g septum with the 14g jewelry in the photo, did not work. So, I bought this taper and was able to stretch my septum in maybe half an hour? or less! I have seen people online say that it is easy and painless to [dead] stretch from 16g to 14g, but it was painful and stung for me! My septum might not have been pierced in its sweet spot, so this taper was perfect for me. For others, it might be worth trying to dead stretch in case you dont need to buy one. It's a standard taper, but the one I bought has a screw at the end for internally threaded jewelry, and it fit perfectly and I was able to screw it in all the way! I think the taper starts at 20g then ends at 14g. I stretched my septum in the shower with just hot water, and I was able to go halfway before it began to sting. Then, I just kept going under the water and pushing it in little by little. It was a little difficult to put the taper in initially, since it is a straight bar and you have to move it under your nostril/nose, but I had no problems with washing my hair and showering while it was still in and poking out. The jewlery also stayed on the whole time. At the end, I'm not sure if it was the jewelry or the taper or maybe where they connect, but it felt stuck. I had to push harder to put the actual jewelry through the piercing hole. Overall, amazing and really worth it!!!
