Exploring Horseshoe Piercings: Types, Versatility, and Expert Care Tips

When it comes to piercing jewelry designs, horseshoes are one of a kind.

Their name comes from the metal horseshoes that horses wear on their feet, which have a shape somewhere between a curved barbell and a ring.

What kinds of horseshoes exist for piercings?

Horseshoes usually have plain balls at each end of their rods, although they also come with spikes.

Besides, they are available in many colors and materials.

Their bars can be both internally threaded and externally threaded.

The best thing about internally threaded jewelry is that it protects your skin because the thread is never directly in touch with the piercing hole. However, externally threaded horseshoes are common for large piercing jewelry.

In what piercings can I use a horseshoe?

Horseshoes can be used in many kinds of piercings, almost anywhere on the body.

They’re often seen on:

• Septum piercings
• Nipple piercings
• Ear piercings
• Lip piercings
