What is a microbar in the classical sense? This is a thin rod (“vulture”), on the ends of which decorative elements are wound (inserted) - hats. Sometimes another decoration, a labret, is brought to the concept of a micro-rod. It is a bit similar in terms of the leading configuration principle, but here one of the wraps is stationary, non-removable.
In addition, such earrings are brought into a separate category, so it makes no sense to call them rods, albeit with the prefix “micro”.
In what punctures is it recommended to buy a microbar
These earrings are very much in demand in body art. Due to their small size, universal structure, they are actively used in many types of piercing:
- ear cartilage is in the lead. They are worn in helix, tragus, oryx, lobe. It is possible to use in other types of cartilage modification, but this is optional;
- the septum is also perfectly adapted to this shape of the earring;
- it is generally difficult to insert something else into the puncture of the frenulum of the tongue;
Depending on the length of the piercing channel, the type of body art and the thickness of the pierced skin fold, miniature barbells are worn in the lip, eyebrows, etc.
What microbar is bought for the first puncture
It should be well made, hypoallergenic (biocompatible), be a little longer than expected. This approach ensures that swelling and initial healing are not difficult or troublesome.
Among the preferred materials of manufacture:
- titanium - recognized as the best choice;
- bioplast or bioflex - optimal for the oral cavity;
- medical steel - has long proved its neutrality in relation to the human body.
What else are microbarbells good for? They have a minimum weight, a thin pin and small wraps that fit snugly enough to the skin. Therefore, they give the effect of rapid healing, do not irritate or pull the skin, it is almost impossible to hit them hard to injure yourself.
Design variety
In these decorations, the designer's fantasy manifested itself in full force. The favorite, of course, are the crystals. They help the smallest size earring to become bright and highly visible.
If you do not like the shine of "diamonds", then you can stop at all-metal or completely bioplastic solutions. Most often, balls, cones, spikes, emoticons, stars and other figures will serve as decor.
The color palette is just as varied. The micro bar can be “gold”, “silver”, “chameleon”, steel or black. For this, anodizing, blackening, PVD spraying is used.
