I wanted to replace my first piercing the piercer and chose this set. The delivery was so quick and the Pierings are fine. However, the insertion of a piercing occurs to me to be very difficult. Also I have shortened the Pierings by a few millimeters, thus I can go a little easier. The wearing comfort is great, they are easy and I like them visually better than the metal rods. Go to Product: The rod is 0.6cm long to bend and have a thickness of 0.1 cm. Maybe that will help you decide whether these piercings are suitable for you.
