Wearing
How does a fake piercing stay on without a hole?
That depends on the type. A nose clip is U-shaped and has a ball on the inside. A nose ring is an open ring around your nostril. The smooth and twisted rings have a tiny spring that clips them shut. The magnetic septum works with a magnet in two halves, the septum clip with two hooks. An ear cuff and the lip piercing slide over the edge. On How it works you'll find the steps for each type.
Does a fake piercing look real?
From the front, with most piercings you see exactly what you'd see with a real one: a stud or ring on your nose, a ring under your nose, rings along your ear or on your lip. The difference is that nothing goes through.
Where can I wear a fake piercing?
Which ring size should I choose?
The smooth ring comes in 8, 10 and 13 mm. 8 mm sits closest around your nose, 10 mm is the classic size and the most comfortable around your lip, and 13 mm stands out on your earlobe or lip. The twisted ring comes in 13 mm.
My piercing is too loose or it pinches. What now?
Too loose? Squeeze it a tiny bit tighter, very carefully. Pinching? Bend it open just a touch. Do it in tiny steps and never squeeze too hard.
Can I wear my fake piercing all day?
You wear it as long as you like. Do take it out when you go to sleep or work out. Take a fake lip piercing out before you eat too.
I have sensitive skin. Can I wear a fake piercing?
Not sure, or do you have sensitive skin? Then wear your piercing briefly at first, for example for an hour, and see how it feels. If you notice irritation or it doesn't feel nice, take it out right away.
Is the magnetic septum suitable for everyone?
No. The magnetic septum is not suitable for people with a pacemaker or other medical implant. Go for the septum clip or one of the other septums without a magnet instead.
Can I use a fake piercing to test before getting a real one?
Yes, it's perfect for that. You instantly see how a spot, size and color suit you. Want to get a real piercing afterwards? Then go to a professional piercer for advice.
Products
Are the piercings sold individually or in pairs?
All prices are per piece. Want two, for example for both ears? Then order two.
Do you have everything in gold and in silver?
Most designs, yes. Some come in one color only, like the septum spikes and septum tribal (silver) and a few nose rings (gold). Browse the gold and silver fake piercings.
What material are the piercings made of?
Each product description tells you what you get: the shape, the size and the color. Have a specific question about a product? Send us a message through the contact page.
How is my piercing packed?
Every piercing comes in a white NONPIERCED box. Handy for storing it when you're not wearing it, and cute as a gift.
