The circular barbell is a variation of the barbell piercing . It's also known as a horseshoe piercing because of its horseshoe shape. It consists of a threaded bar with screw-on ends, which are usually balls or cones, but can also take on other shapes. The difference from a straight barbell piercing is the curve of the bar; unlike a ball closure ring , it's not a closed ring but leaves an opening. Another variation is the curved barbell, also called a banana barbell. This most closely resembles the circular barbell but isn't as sharply curved, only slightly, like a banana. The circular barbell adds variety to the world of piercings and represents an intermediate form between straight bars and closed rings.
They are used, for example, in the nose septum piercing hole, as well as in the ear and lip, for example, in snakebites instead of labret studs. They can also be used for nipple piercings or as intimate piercings. Horseshoe barbells are currently often seen in the nose; their popularity has increased with the rise of septum piercings. As an alternative to the simple labret stud, they are also possible and frequently used in all lip piercings . However, you should pay attention to soft materials to avoid injuring teeth and gums. Whether you use balls or cones is a matter of personal preference. Circular barbell piercings are universally applicable and therefore popular. Do you have several piercings? How about a matching look by adorning all piercings with the same design? With the universally wearable circular barbell, this is actually possible.
