Internal and External Threading in Body Jewelry.

What is Internal and External Threading
Understanding the difference and when to use the different threading styles on body jewelry is really quite simple. 

Internal threading - the ball has threads that screw into the post.

Internal Threading on body jewelry is the professional standard for new piercings.  In fact the APP says and we quote: "Threaded jewelry for initial piercings must have internal tapping (no threads on posts) starting from 16 gauge."

External Threading - the ball screws onto the threaded post.

External Threading although most times less expensive, can damage, or traumatize a piercing, and even restart the healing process.  You should take extra care when inserting External Threaded Body Jewelry and it should only be used in fully healed piercings.
