What does a ear barbell do? ?

Question

I want a twister barbell for my ear but I really have no idea what they are. Is it a kind of gage?. or is it just an earring?. Do I have to pierce my ear then stretch it to make the barbell fit?. Sorry. I'm not very good with this stuff. Please help me =).

Answer 1

well actually the "earbarbell" is actually called an industrial piercing or just industrial, and well if your gunna do it yourself your gunna need a 14G carpenter needle[[walgreens]], so you dont have to gauge it, but if your going to a proffesional then they already have the needle and will put in the earring for you:}

Answer 2

If your ear is already pierced,, then it is probably a 20g which means if the barbell is an 18g then it should be pretty easy to fit in. If the barbell is 16g and below, you may have to stretch it a bit.

And its just a type of jewelry.
