What are piercing jewellery tops?

Piercing jewellery tops are the decorative or functional end pieces that attach to a piercing post, labret stud, barbell, or dermal anchor. They are the visible part of the jewellery and are designed to be interchangeable, allowing you to change your look without replacing the full piece.

What is the difference between threaded and threadless piercing tops?

Threaded tops use a screw mechanism to attach to the post. Internally threaded tops screw onto a post where the threading is on the post itself — the top is smooth. Externally threaded tops have threading on the top piece that screws into a hollow post. Threadless (press-fit) tops use a bent pin that tensions into the post without screwing. Internally threaded and threadless systems are generally preferred for piercing use as they are less likely to catch on tissue.

Will any piercing top fit my current post?

No. Compatibility depends on the gauge of your post (most commonly 1.2mm or 1.6mm), the thread type (internally threaded, externally threaded, or threadless), and the post inner diameter. A top designed for a 1.6mm post will not fit correctly on a 1.2mm post. If you are unsure of your post specifications, consult the retailer you purchased it from or ask a professional piercer to confirm before buying a replacement top.

What are labret tops?

Labret tops are end pieces designed for flat-back labret studs — a post type widely used across ear piercings (helix, tragus, flat, conch), lip piercings (philtrum, Monroe, medusa), and nostril piercings. The top attaches to the front-facing end of the post and is the only visible part of the jewellery. They are available in threaded and threadless fittings depending on the post type.

What are dermal tops?

Dermal tops are the decorative pieces that attach to the exposed post of a surface anchor. The anchor foot sits beneath the skin; the post protrudes above the surface and the top screws onto it. Dermal tops are typically low-profile to reduce snagging risk, as surface anchors are placed in areas subject to movement and pressure. Flat-set gems and disc tops are common choices for dermal placements.

Can I change my piercing top myself?

On a fully healed piercing, changing a top is generally straightforward. On a healing or recently irritated piercing, it is strongly recommended to have a professional piercer perform any jewellery change to avoid disrupting the healing tissue. Dermal tops in particular should be changed with care, and in some placements should only be changed by a professional.

Which material is best for sensitive skin or metal allergies?

Implant-grade titanium tested to ASTM F136 is the recommended choice for individuals with metal sensitivities, as it contains no nickel. Implant-grade surgical steel (ASTM F138 / ISO 5832-3) is widely used but does contain trace bound nickel and is not recommended for those with a confirmed nickel allergy. Solid gold (14ct or 18ct) is another suitable option for healed piercings. If you have a known metal allergy, consult a medical professional before selecting a material.
