BODY PIERCING NEEDLES
Piercing needle receiving tube
The tube is used to catch a needle when it comes out of flesh right after piercing so that its (very sharp!) end won’t end up in your finger.

The piercing needle
The ordinary method in the United States involves making an opening using a beveled-tip hollow medical needle, which is available in different lengths, gauges and even shapes. While straight needles are functional for a lot of body parts, curved needles are manufactured for areas where straight needles are not ideal. The needle chosen is typically the same gauge as the first jewelry to be worn, with higher gauges indicating thinner needles. The needle is inserted into the body part being pierced, frequently by hand but sometimes with the aid of a needle holder or pusher. While the needle is still in the body, the first jewelry to be worn in the piercing is pushed through the opening, following the back of the needle. In this technique, the needle is the same gauge (or from time to time larger as with cartilage piercings) than the initial jewelry to be worn. Jewelry is frequently inserted into the hollow end of a needle, so that as the needle pulls through the jewelry is left behind.
