Wholesale Body Jewelry Q and A

Wholesale Body Jewelry is a great way to get all the gear for your piercing needs. But what is it? How does it work? And how can buying wholesale body jewelry help you with your piercing needs.

Wholesale Body Jewelry Question #1: What is it? And can anybody get it?

The term wholesale refers to a selling price that is half of the suggested retail price and is generally reserved for industry professionals and thereby requires a business license to purchase. This is no longer the case. With so many wholesale body jewelry companies available on the internet and all over the world, virtually anybody can buy body jewelry at or near cost.

The question is, of course, is it really worth it. Many of the discounts available with wholesale body jewelry are a result of buying in bulk. Do you really need 100 skull earrings? Well unless you are a piercing studio, probably not. But if you do buy some items with regularity, or can get a group of people interested in the jewelry, than wholesale body jewelry might be an option.

Unfortunately much of the wholesale body jewelry on the internet is nothing more than cheap product from overseas. There are ton of sites that claim they can sell “below wholesale”---which is sometimes code for junk that they need to sell quickly. See if a wholesale body jewelry distributor will send you a sample. It’s a common business practice and one that most reputable companies will agree to.

Wholesale Body Jewelry Question #2: What are the most popular items?

Well for years the earring, in all its different forms and styles, was keeping the entire piercing wholesale jewelry business afloat. But as body piercing has become more mainstream items such as navel rings, eyebrow rings, and labret rings and have become more and more commonplace.

Perhaps a better question is what type of metal is the most popular. Choice of metal with wholesale jewelry is probably the most important factor in determining good piercing success. Most companies specializing in wholesale body piercing jewelry use sterling steel or a metal such as titanium or gold. It is rare to find a body jewelry wholesale business that sells any product that contains nickel, which is prone to infection and outright rejection from the body. Avoid any products that contain nickel like the plague---cos chances are you might get the plague.

Wholesale body jewelry is an awesome way for those in the piercing biz to get a great deal. Just make sure to shop around and realize when buying in bulk—everything is negotiable. Including the price.
