1" Steel Tapers - Externally Measured

These Externally Measured Insertion Tapers (1" Long) are essential tools for professional piercers and jewelry enthusiasts who value accuracy and smooth transitions. Made from high-quality 316L surgical stainless steel, each taper is externally measured so the outer diameter matches the listed gauge exactly—perfect for precise sizing.

A concave end securely holds jewelry during insertion, allowing for controlled, efficient stretching or jewelry changes. The compact 1-inch (25.4 mm) length provides excellent maneuverability for detailed work or quick adjustments.

Available in sizes from 18G to 13G, these tapers cover an ideal range for smaller-gauge piercing applications.
