How to Put in a Spiral Ring

Spiral rings are most often worn in navel piercings, but can also be worn in earlobes and eyebrows. They are longer than a standard curved barbell, but are inserted in the same way. To safely insert a spiral ring -- or any piercings -- take steps to keep your hands and jewelry clean.

  • Paper towel

Instructions

    • 1

      Wash your piercing, your hands and the spiral ring with hot water and antibacterial soap. Use a clean paper towel to dry them. If the spiral ring is in an autoclave bag, it has been sterilized and does not need to be washed.

    • 2

      Screw one bead onto one end of the ring.

    • 3

      Dip the other end of the ring into a drop of antibacterial soap to lubricate it. This will make insertion easier and more comfortable.

    • 4

      Insert the lubricated end of the jewelry into your piercing. Twist the jewelry gently until equal portions of the spiral stick out above and below the piercing.

    • 5

      Wipe the antibacterial soap off your skin and jewelry with another clean paper towel. Screw the other bead into the jewelry.

    • 6

      Twist the beads in opposite directions to tighten them.
