MATERIALS & CRAFTSMANSHIP

316L Surgical Steel, Ground to a Scalpel-Sharp Edge

A piercing needle must do two things perfectly: cut cleanly and guide jewelry smoothly. We start with certified 316L stainless steel tube, grind every tip to a precise tri-bevel, and inspect each batch under magnification before EO sterilization.

Ultra-Sharp Tri-Bevel Tip with a Smooth Hollow Channel

The finely ground tri-bevel tip cuts tissue like a scalpel instead of tearing it — less trauma, less pain and faster healing for the client. Inside, the polished hollow channel is sized so the starter jewelry post follows the needle through the fresh piercing in one smooth motion. With a hardness of ≥280 HV0.2, the point stays sharp and true through the full pass.

APPLICATIONS & WORKING PRINCIPLE

How a Hollow Piercing Needle Works — and Why Studios Choose It

The tri-bevel tip pierces skin and soft tissue in one pass, cutting a clean, smooth-edged circular channel. The hollow tube then stays in the fresh piercing as a guide sheath — the starter jewelry follows through the bore and slides into place without resistance or secondary trauma.

👂

Ear & Facial Piercings

Earlobes, helix, tragus and cartilage, plus nostril, septum, eyebrow and lip — 20G and 18G cover most facial work.

🧍

Body Piercings

Tongue, navel, nipple and surface piercings — 16G and thicker diameters give the stability these placements need.

💍

Jewelry-Guided Insertion

Pairs perfectly with internally threaded titanium flat-back studs and rings for smooth, professional starter jewelry fitting.

Choosing the Right Gauge

Professional piercing follows international gauge sizing. The gauge you choose sets the channel size and the jewelry post thickness the piercing can accept. Most studios keep 20G, 18G and 16G in stock to cover the full range of daily work.

Gauge	Diameter	Typical Piercing Sites
20G	0.8 mm	Earlobes, nostrils and other delicate soft-tissue piercings
18G	1.0 mm	Most common starter size — earlobes, cartilage, eyebrows, septum
16G	1.2 mm	Tongue, navel, lip and placements needing stability or planned stretching

USAGE & STORAGE

Professional Use in Four Simple Steps

For professional use only. Always follow your local regulations and established clinical protocols.

Select & Check

Choose the gauge for the site and jewelry. Verify the blister pack is intact and within expiry — never use if damaged.

Prepare Aseptically

Set up a sterile field, wear gloves, mark the placement and disinfect the skin thoroughly.

Pierce in One Pass

Open the sterile pack and push the needle through at the planned angle in one smooth, controlled motion.

Guide Jewelry & Dispose

Follow the jewelry post through the cannula, withdraw the needle and discard it into a sharps container — never reuse.

Important Safety & Storage Guidelines

Strictly follow professional aseptic operating procedures at all times.
Single-use only — re-sterilization or repeated use is strictly prohibited.
Do not use if the blister pack is damaged or past the expiry date.
Never touch the needle tip or shaft before the piercing.
Dispose of used needles in a sharps container according to local regulations.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and corrosive gases.
Keep out of reach of children. For professional piercers only.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for wholesalers, brand owners and clinic buyers.

It depends on the piercing site. 20G (0.8mm) suits delicate soft-tissue work such as earlobes and nostrils. 18G (1.0mm) is the most common starter size for earlobes, cartilage, eyebrows and septum. 16G (1.2mm) is preferred for tongue, navel and placements that need more stability or planned stretching. Many studios stock all three to cover daily work.

A hollow needle cuts a clean, smooth-edged channel with a sharp tip, while a gun forces a blunt stud through the tissue, causing more trauma and swelling. Needles also give the piercer full control over angle and depth, work on any body location, and are single-use sterile — a gun’s plastic parts cannot be fully sterilized between clients.

After the needle passes through, its hollow tube stays in the fresh channel and acts as a guide sheath. The jewelry post — for example a flat-back labret stud — follows through the tube, so the jewelry slides in smoothly without resistance or secondary trauma to the fresh piercing.

Yes. Every needle is EO gas sterilized under an ISO 11135 validated process and sealed in an individual blister pack with a protective tip cover. Sterilization batch, date and expiry are printed on each pack, and boxes of 100 pieces keep studio restocking simple.

Our standard MOQ is 10,000 pieces per gauge. You can combine several gauges in one shipment — for example 16G, 18G and 20G — and our team will plan the boxes and cartons to match your studio or distribution needs.

Yes. Beyond 16G/18G/20G, we manufacture 20 diameters from 0.15mm up to 2.00mm, covering everything from fine piercing work to large-gauge and stretching applications. Custom needle lengths and other OEM specifications are also available — send us your requirements for a quote.

Needles are made from medical-grade 316L stainless steel with a hardness of at least 280 HV0.2. Each tip is precision-ground to a tri-bevel point and inspected under magnification batch by batch, so it cuts cleanly with minimal tearing and holds its edge through the full pass.

Yes. Our OEM/ODM service covers custom blister card printing, branded boxes, logo marking and assorted gauge kits for retail or studio supply. Standard lead time is about 15 days after design confirmation — share your artwork and we will prepare a design draft within 24 hours.
