Threadless Jewelry Explained
Threadless ends pin into a post with tension — no screwing through a fresh fistula during downsizing.
— Katelyn Cole, master piercer, Work of Art Las Vegas
Why I love threadless for downsizing
- Swap decorative ends without twisting the post inside the channel.
- Fewer threads means fewer bacteria traps on labret and cartilage posts.
How it works
- Post has a slight bend; end pins in with hand pressure — I adjust tension in-studio.
- Comes in implant-grade titanium from reputable piercing jewelry makers.

Real heal documentation
Real ear piercing work from our studio — not stock photos. Starter length, swelling room, downsizing, and healed angles documented in Vegas.
Placement and angle marked for your anatomy — implant-grade starter jewelry sized for swelling.
Fresh cartilage or lobe — implant-grade studs with extra post length for swelling.
Around 6–8 weeks swelling drops — this is when downsizing protects the angle and prevents bumps.
Downsize to a shorter post or swap ends once the fistula is stable — booked as a check-in, not a mall kiosk.
Flat and conch starters sit long on purpose — shortening too soon causes embedding and bumps.
