A threadless taper is a simple and useful tool for changing or inserting your threadless flatback jewelry. The 16 gauge size tapers to a fine, smooth point that helps guide your po st gently through the piercing channel—no forcing, twisting, or irritation. To use it, place your threadless post onto the thin pin end of the taper. Then, locate the back of your piercing with the dull point. Once aligned, push the taper and post together through the piercing. Remove the taper from the front, leaving your post in place. Finally, attach your favorite threadless end and press-fit it securely. Crafted from implant-grade ASTM F136 titanium, this taper is fully biocompatible and safe for even the most sensitive piercings.
