Initial Jewelry:

Captive bead ring, circular barbell in 16 - 14 gauge and 3/8" - 1/2" inside diameter, depending on the width of the piercing and the desired location of the bead. The inside diameter should be at least 1/8" wider than the width of the piercing. Thicker gauges usually feel more comfortable and will be less likely to pinch or tear after healing.
