Guide & full description

Complete guide: 18G Pin Taper for Internally Threaded and Threadless Jewelry

The pin taper is your essential tool for quickly and safely transferring 18G jewelry through the piercing channel. It attaches directly to threadless or internally threaded jewelry, allowing you to guide the piece without forcing the tissue. It's ideal for both initial insertions and swapping healed jewelry.

How to use

Autoclave sterilize the taper before each use, according to your studio's protocol.
Attach the taper's pin to the 18G threadless jewelry or gently screw it onto the internally threaded jewelry, making sure it's securely fastened.
Insert the thin tip of the taper into the piercing channel, from the direction opposite to the jewelry insertion.
Advance gently and steadily, letting the tapered shape gradually dilate the channel.
Once the base of the taper has passed completely through the channel, disconnect the jewelry from the pin.
Finish by securing the free end of the jewelry (the ball or decorative top).

Tips from us

For even smoother sliding, you can apply a minimal amount of sterile lubricant to the taper's surface.
If you feel resistance, don't force it. Gently withdraw and reassess the insertion angle or check that the jewelry is properly aligned.
The taper's conical shape is specially designed to minimize discomfort; use a slow, steady motion for best results.
Treating it as a single-use instrument is an excellent practice for clients with known sensitivities or to streamline your sterilization workflow.

Warning: Do not use if the sterile packaging is damaged. Always check the polished surface before use to make sure there are no scratches or imperfections that could irritate the tissue. Store in a clean, dry environment, away from contact with other metal instruments to prevent damage.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this taper for jewelry of a different gauge?▾

No, this taper is designed and calibrated strictly for 18G (1.0 mm) jewelry. For other gauges, a taper with the corresponding size is needed to ensure safe and precise insertion.

Is it compatible with any 18G threadless jewelry?▾

Yes, the pin is designed to fit the standard 18G threadless jewelry system. It also works with internally threaded jewelry of the same gauge, giving you versatility.

How do you properly clean and sterilize this taper?▾

Since it's made from 316L ASTM F-138 stainless steel, it can be autoclave sterilized without issue. Before autoclaving, clean it thoroughly of any biological residue, according to your studio's standard sterilization protocol.

What exactly does 'implant grade 316L ASTM F-138' mean?▾

This is a material certification that guarantees the stainless steel meets strict standards of chemical composition and biocompatibility, being approved for medical implants and, consequently, safe for prolonged contact with body tissue.

The pin looks thin. Is it strong enough to not bend during use?▾

Although the pin is thin to fit 18G jewelry, 316L stainless steel gives it very good mechanical strength. Handled correctly, with controlled pressure and at the proper angle, it shouldn't bend under normal professional use conditions.

Product description

A pin insertion taper is a fundamental tool in every professional piercer's kit, designed to guide jewelry through the piercing channel with precision and minimal discomfort. This specific model, compatible with 18G (1.0 mm) gauge, is designed to work flawlessly with both threadless (push-in) jewelry and internally threaded jewelry, giving you maximum flexibility in your daily procedures.

Premium construction for safety

Made from implant grade 316L ASTM F-138 stainless steel, the material meets the highest standards of biocompatibility. The carefully polished surface ensures smooth sliding, reducing friction and making insertion more comfortable for the client. Its tapered shape, with a diameter ranging from approximately 0.5 mm to 1.05 mm, allows for a gradual, controlled transition, essential for avoiding tissue trauma.

Efficient and versatile in your workflow

The 1 inch (25 mm) pin offers a secure grip and excellent maneuverability. Whether you're using threadless or internally threaded jewelry, this taper attaches firmly, allowing you to pull the jewelry through the piercing channel in one smooth motion. This not only significantly reduces setup time but also gives you superior tactile control throughout the procedure.

Sterilization and usage options

Designed for rigorous professional use, the instrument is autoclave-compatible and can be heat-sterilized without losing its properties. Alternatively, thanks to its excellent value for money, it can also be treated as a single-use instrument, eliminating any risk of cross-contamination and simplifying your studio's sterilization protocol.
