Industrial Barbells With Character

How an Industrial Bar Works

An industrial piercing is two holes in the upper ear, usually one in the forward helix area and one in the outer rim, joined by a single straight barbell. Because one bar runs through both holes, the two piercings need to line up. Industrials are known for a long healing time, so a well-fitted bar that doesn't press on the ear matters.

Designer Industrial Barbells

Many of our industrial barbells have a design built into the bar, so it looks like a single piece of jewelry. Choose an arrow in black, gold, or silver, a cross with 5mm ball ends, a tree of life, or a gold-tone steampunk design. For a clean look, the PVD-coated barbell with 5mm ball ends comes in silver, gold, rose gold, black, and rainbow.

14G Industrial Piercing Jewelry Sizing

Industrial piercings are usually done at 14G, and all our industrial barbells are 14G. Length depends on the distance between your two holes; measure from the outside of one piercing to the outside of the other. Not sure of your size? See our body jewelry gauge size chart, or ask your piercer to confirm your gauge and fit.
