1" Steel Tapers - Internally Measured

Introducing the 1" Long Internally Measured Insertion Tapers, the precision tool of choice for professional piercers and jewelry wearers who demand accurate sizing. These tapers are internally measured to match your jewelry’s gauge perfectly—ensuring smooth, secure transitions during insertion.

Crafted from premium 316L surgical stainless steel, these tapers feature a concave end that holds jewelry firmly in place while you work. The 1-inch length provides excellent control for smaller or more delicate insertions, especially in ear, nose, and facial piercings.

Important: Because they are internally measured, the outer diameter is slightly larger than the listed gauge, allowing the jewelry to slide in seamlessly.
