Flesh plug

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flesh plugs are short, cylinder-shaped pieces of jewelry used in body piercing. Plugs can be made out of many materials either synthetic or organic. They are inserted in large gauge piercings, most commonly in the ear. Some plugs have flared ends to hold them in place, while others require small elastic rubber rings ("O-rings") to keep them from falling out. They are less common than flesh tunnels because they weigh more.
