Let me tell you how to achieve the same effect without piercings

Piercing can bring about a "canopy-like" effect, but it also brings trouble

we all know, pierced jewelry is currently the mainstream choice for body accessories. Most people choose piercings because they offer a permanent solution; once worn, they stay until they get tired of them.

However, I've seen too many unfortunate cases, with piercing infections being one of the most serious. Many people are allergic to metals—some to steel, some to copper, and some even to precious metals (silver, gold). In some cases, improper care can lead to irritation or discomfort, which is one of the reasons why some people hesitate to get a piercing. Personally, I didn’t pay much attention to this shift at first, but it keeps showing up more often lately.

After piercing, many people cannot do anything that might affect the wound. This is a lengthy process that can impact your life and even your work.

Some people choose plastic piercings, but due to material limitations, these plastic pieces can never replicate the texture of metal. Furthermore, due to limitations in manufacturing technology, many plastic piercings have rough edges, causing discomfort for the wearer.

Even for those who aren't allergic to metal, once they get tired of piercings and remove them, they face the same problem: the piercing holes never truly disappear. Imagine: after removing your nipple or belly button piercings, a small, conspicuous hole remains—wouldn't it be unsightly to those who see it?

There are also minor issues. I've heard people complain about feeling a biting chill while wearing metal piercings in winter. Haha, maybe that's not really a problem.

Fake piercings are becoming a new choice for more people

After looking at many piercing styles, I've found that many people are starting to use fake piercings as an alternative. They achieve the same effect, are very easy to wear, and pose no risk of infection. Because of this flexibility, they offer more choices and styles.

Here I discovered a magnetic body clip that achieves the desired effect. It's easy to put on and take off, and the magnetism is strong, so there's no need to worry about it falling off.

I've seen many spherical magnetic body clips, but those aren't very practical. Imagine a sphere adhering to another sphere (or a part of your body that is also a sphere or cylinder). Would it stay stable?

When choosing a magnetic body clip, you should pay attention to: a smooth surface and the strength of the magnetism (When choosing magnetic jewelry, pay attention to its overall balance and the strength of its magnetic attraction. Jewelry with suitable magnetic strength is usually more suitable for beginners). The best choice is around N38-40, which provides sufficient magnetic force without causing pain due to excessive strength.

You can see the magnetic clip I found; its overall gold color gives it a very high-end look. Its surface is smooth, with clean edges, allowing it to conform well to the skin without causing any irritation. The pearl chain gives it a shimmering shine. The strong enough magnetism can easily hold objects about 10mm thick. I think this might inspire more thought and ideas.

Further discussion on fake piercing jewelry

Perhaps limited by preconceived notions, most fake piercing jewelry currently available is clip-on or ring-shaped. Perhaps we can build upon this foundation with more creativity and design? We've tried many shapes: triangles, hearts, hexagons, and so on, but we always felt like we weren't generating any groundbreaking ideas. Here, I hope those who read this article can resonate with this idea, and that we can explore new thoughts and creative concepts together.
