technical note: jewelry threading.
internally threaded piercing jewelry [bars etc] tend to work much more smoothly and securely than the conventional threaded screw format commonly used. Ask your piercer about it.
[internally threaded parts are optimal for tongue piercings as you work your way up the gauge chart. starting typically with a 14ga. initial piercing.] the guages increase in diameter along a geometric curve and get progressively larger relative to previous upgrade.
hence, internally threaded to avoid complications.
oh, and tighten them once in a while, its annoying to accidentally swallow your own tongue piercing because one of the beads worked itsself loose.
