Teflon??Vanil - 2004-01-21 06:05:12 Uhr
Yesterday as I was buying more jewelry and started chatting with the piercer she was complaining that she was having a hardtime finding the long barbels for the industrial (my next one..whee), but after a moment she got this idea about using those teflon sticks that you can chop down to your own preference. Now what I was wondering is that does anyone have any experience of teflon-barbels?
Good? Bad? ...well any knowledge at all would be nice :)

teflon (or PTFE) is mostly used for surface piercings because it's flexible and the piercing doesn't reject that fast. It's no metal so it's anti-allergic. It can be used in new healing piercings.

i dont mean to be a critic, but if a piercer can't find a simple industrial barbell... somethings wrong...... i've pierced quite a many industrial ear pieces, and for all except one, i went to www.bodyartforms.com and bought the proper jewelery there..... one, its inexpensive to buy online,..... ex. the shop i work in wants $25 for a barbell, i buy the same thing online for about $7.50 with shipping... that's an option that is open to you.... go there, or give your piercer the info, and check it out... that would probally be a more cost effective option....... that site also has a titanium, blackline, niobium, and acrylic industrial barbells...... along, of course, with the standard stainless steel.....
PTFE jewelery is good for new piercings, just as what you've already been told buy the user Charlene...... but, there is a problem that i personally ran into after ordering a PTFE tounge barbell...... it is VERY flexable, so much so that you could easily tie a knot in it..... it's also soft, so the provided acrylic balls are not threaded very securely to the post...... i would not advise PTFE to be used for jewelry in places where the possibility of catching the ball on something is great... if that happens, it would be a miracle if the ball stays on.....
good luck on your piercing.....
