    I was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent site (preferably UK-based) to get jewellery - barbells, CBRs etc. I'm especially looking for some twisted barbell type things for lobe piercings, the ones with little arrows or balls on the ends (something like this http://www.piercings-body.com/steel_ball_spiral_barbell_16ga.html).

    Just looking for a decent site with sterile jewellery made from surgical steel or titanium with reasonable prices and delivery time. Thanks in advance!

    I've bought from here a few times, never had an issue. Good prices, good quality and fast delivery. Good selection of styles and metals too.

    Brilliant thanks - which gauge should I order for a normal lobe piercing (it's been a while)?

    I would say 16 and upwards is fine. Might be ok with 14, but I'm no expert :P

    Really nice jewellery on there but the spiral type things I was looking for seem to only be available in 14 gauge... they look really thick on the photos. I think they're meant for other places rather than lobes :(

    Not necessarily. You could stretch to 14g if you really want to wear these, 'standard' ear piercings are generally between 16 and 20g. 14g isn't very thick really- 16g is 1.2mm and 14g is 1.6mm, it's not such a noticeable difference. If your piercings are a very small gauge you might want to wear something in 16g for about a month before wearing 14g though.
