{"title":"Industrial Piercing Jewellery","description":"\u003cp\u003eIndustrial piercing jewellery at Camden Body Jewellery is made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium, the material most widely recommended by professional piercers for this placement. An industrial barbell sits at 14G (1.6mm) and connects two helix piercings across the ear with a single straight bar. The titanium construction keeps the bar lightweight, which reduces pressure on both piercing sites, and the nickel-free surface means it will not cause irritation during the extended healing period this placement requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection includes straight barbells with a range of threaded end combinations, from plain ball ends to CZ stone ends and spike ends. Industrial barbells are available in standard lengths to span the distance between the two helix points. All threaded ends are interchangeable with other 14G threaded pieces, so different end styles can be mixed without changing the bar itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe industrial piercing creates a strong visual line across the upper ear and has become one of the most popular ear statement piercings. It works well alongside helix rings or a conch stud on the same ear, adding structure to a stacked look. Because the bar spans the full width of the ear, it has more visual presence than individual cartilage piercings and tends to anchor the overall ear arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIndustrial barbells require careful aftercare because two separate piercing channels must heal at the same time. Both entry and exit points should be cleaned with sterile saline spray twice daily. Avoid sleeping directly on the ear, keep hair away from the bar, and be cautious with headphones and hats during healing. Industrial piercings typically take 9 to 12 months to heal fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related collections:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/camdenbodyjewellery.co.uk\/collections\/helix\"\u003eHelix Piercing Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e: helix rings and studs for the same ear\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/camdenbodyjewellery.co.uk\/collections\/helix-hoop-earrings\"\u003eHelix Hoop Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e: hoop styles to stack alongside your industrial\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/camdenbodyjewellery.co.uk\/collections\/conch-jewellery\"\u003eConch Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e: conch rings and studs for the mid-ear placement\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/camdenbodyjewellery.co.uk\/collections\/eyebrow-piercing-jewellery\"\u003eEyebrow Piercing Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e: curved barbells for facial piercings\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/camdenbodyjewellery.co.uk\/collections\/daith-jewellery\"\u003eDaith Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e: inner ear rings to complement your stack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat gauge is an industrial piercing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndustrial piercings are 14G (1.6mm), which is thicker than a standard helix piercing (16G). Using the correct gauge is essential: a 16G bar will be too loose in a 14G channel, increasing movement and slowing healing. Always confirm the gauge your piercer used before purchasing replacement jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long should an industrial barbell be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndustrial barbell lengths typically range from 30mm to 38mm, depending on the distance between your two helix piercings. Piercers usually fit a slightly longer bar for the initial healing period to accommodate swelling, then size down to a fitted bar once healed. Your piercer can measure the correct length for a downsized bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs titanium a good material for an industrial piercing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium is one of the best choices for an industrial piercing. The bar is long and spans two separate piercing sites, so the lightweight nature of titanium (compared to steel) reduces pull and pressure during healing. Titanium is also completely nickel-free, minimising the risk of metal sensitivity reactions at either site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I remove an industrial barbell?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnscrew one threaded end anticlockwise while holding the centre of the bar to stop it rotating. Once the first end is off, slide the bar through from that side. For a healed piercing this should be straightforward. If the piercing is still healing, have a piercer remove and reinsert jewellery to avoid disrupting the healing channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does an industrial piercing take to heal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndustrial piercings take between 9 and 12 months to fully heal because two separate piercing channels must heal simultaneously. The healing period is longer than a single helix piercing for this reason. Consistent aftercare at both sites throughout the full healing period is essential to avoid complications at either point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What gauge is an industrial piercing?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Industrial piercings are 14G (1.6mm), which is thicker than a standard helix piercing (16G).
