Most barbells use spheres, but this one uses two tiny, solid gold hexagonal nuts. They're a bit unexpected up close. The flat sides of the nuts sit flush against the skin, which is a different feel than a rounded bead.
You're looking at a single piercing made of a straight, polished bar with a tiny hexagonal nut at each end. The ends of the bar are threaded, like a miniature bolt, so the nuts can screw on and off. The whole piece is a uniform rose gold colour with a high-polish finish that catches light on the flat faces of the nuts and along the curve of the bar.
We make this from a solid block of 14k gold, not plated. It's 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength, which means it won't tarnish or discolour, even with daily wear. It's also completely nickel-free, so it's a safe choice for new piercings or sensitive skin. The stud is internally threaded, which means the screw threads are on the nut, not the bar. This creates a smooth post that won't scrape or irritate your skin as you insert it.
- Material: 14k solid gold
- Stud Length: 6.5mm
- Stud Thickness: 1.25mm (16 gauge)
- Closure: Internally threaded
- Sold as a single piece
People usually pick this piercing for the hex nut ends. It's a small change from the typical ball-end barbell, but it makes a difference. The flat profile sits very close to the skin, and the shape is just more interesting to look at than a simple sphere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Lifted Weight Nipple Piercing have internal threading?
This piercing has internal threading for your comfort and safety. The screw threads are inside the hexagonal nut ends, not on the bar itself. This leaves the bar perfectly smooth, so it won't scrape or irritate your piercing channel when you're putting it in or taking it out.
Can I shower or swim with my 14k gold nipple piercing in?
Yes, you can shower with your 14k gold nipple piercing. Solid gold isn't damaged by water. We do recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to chlorinated pools or hot tubs, as the chemicals can dull the metal's shine over time. Always rinse with fresh water and pat dry afterwards.
How do I know if the 6.5mm length of this nipple piercing will fit me?
The 6.5mm length is a standard size for many healed nipple piercings, but anatomy varies. The best way to be sure is to measure your current, well-fitting jewellery or have a professional piercer measure you. You want a snug fit where the bar isn't being squeezed or excessively long.
What happens if the Lifted Weight Nipple Piercing doesn't fit or I change my mind?
You can return the piercing within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, provided it's in its original, unworn condition. For hygiene reasons, we can't accept returns on worn piercings. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label.
