Body jewelry makes an awesome gift

Thinking of gifting your girlfriend or boyfriend with some great body jewelry?  Cool idea, but what should you be thinking about when you buy body jewelry for someone else?  It’s easy to pick out what you like, but hey, this is about them – not you! 

Let’s imagine you’re buying something for your boyfriend.   First, watch him for a few weeks and see what he already has so you don’t duplicate things.  Then, take the time to watch him the next time the two of you go to a shop where he can check out body jewelry. 

Is he drawn to tapered plugs, or does he seem fascinated by those new tusks in the front case?  Take note of what he likes the most and remember what it’s like so that you can check it out online later, where you can usually find body jewelry at more reasonable prices than in a store. 

Gauge is always a consideration, so double check what gauge he’s currently wearing, and if he’s thinking of increasing any time soon.  You don’t want to buy him a rad set of 8 plugs and find out he’s going to be going up to a 4 gauge within weeks.  Body jewelry sitting in a drawer’s no good, but a great set of plugs he can wear when he’s reached his new gauge will thrill him.

Not sure how to approach it?  Mention that you’re considering changing gauge yourself to jump-start the conversation.  Not pierced yourself?  Just ask – he’ll be flattered by your interest in his body jewelry, and blown away when he gets his gift!
