How it works The metal cannula is used to puncture tissue and create the piercing channel. The plastic tubing remains in the channel as the needle is withdrawn, preserving the pathway for immediate jewelry insertion. After the needle is removed from the tubing, the piercer trims the tubing hub with sterile scissors to complete the transfer. Typical use scenarios Navel piercing: create a clean channel with the tubing left in place to guide a curved barbell into position. Ear cartilage piercings such as tragus or daith: select 18G or 20G for typical cartilage jewelry and use the tubing to maintain the channel while seating the jewelry. Tongue, nipples, and body piercings like Prince Albert: choose the appropriate gauge to match jewelry thickness and use the cannula and tubing to transfer jewelry with minimal handling.
