[[Barbell]]s are available curved; usually about a quarter of a full circle in form. This form of [[body jewelry]] is most commonly used for [[navel piercing]]s and [[eyebrow piercing]]s, as well as [[vertical hood piercing]]s, [[PA]] piercings, and others. '''Curved barbells''' are not appropriate for [[surface piercing]]s as this will lead to [[rejection]].

Curved barbells are almost always made of [[stainless steel]] or [[titanium]], and have either internal  [[threading]] or external threading with internal threading usually being a mark of greater quality.

Curved barbells usually cost between $5 and $40 in standard [[gauge]] sizes (larger gauges can cost dramatically more) depending on the manufacturer.
