piercing needle
Earlobe hole maker
A piercing needle is a hollow, beveled needle used to create holes in the body for jewelry insertion.
Unlike sewing needles or hypodermic needles, piercing needles are designed to remove a small core of tissue, creating a clean channel for earrings, studs, or other body jewelry.
Professional piercers use single-use sterile needles rather than piercing guns, which can cause more tissue trauma.
The piercer opened a fresh piercing needle from its sterile packaging.
