About the ball closure ring
The ball closure ring might also be known as the Captive Bead Ring or Captive Hoop. Also the abbreviation of Ball Closure Ring, BCR is often used. They all mean the same piercing, a ring with a small opening that holds a ball in place. This ball has two small dimples where the ring is supposed to be placed. Thanks to the pressure that the ring creates the ball stays firmly in place.
A versatile ball closure ring
The ball closure ring is immensely popular, and for obvious reasons. The ball closure ring has some very practical advantages. Its round shape makes that it has no protruding corners making it unlikely to hook into things like clothing. Ball closure rings can also be worn in a lot of different pierced places, nearly any, for example as a belly button piercing. On top of that, they are often more striking than barbells.
Problems while placing ball closure rings
The ball closure ring also knows a big disadvantage that already has frustrated a lot of people. Especially with smaller sizes the ball closure ring can prove quite the challenge to put in place. Due to the tension of the ring it requires some pressure to get the ball in its place, this while the dimples need the be in line with the ring endings.
Luckily, this problem comes with a solution. Firstly, you could use ball closure ring pliers to get the piercing in place. Your fingertips are simply too big and clumsy, pliers give you more control. Especially if you let someone else handle the pliers. But even with pliers it might take a bit of practice.
Another option is the ball closure ring with a fixed ball. These rings have one ball that is fixed to the ring. This way you don’t have to put back the ball.
