They are great in septa, ears, or other body piercings because they are light weight, comfortable, unique and eye catching. Porcupine quills are a natural materials, so variation occurs from piece to piece. Actual size of Porcupine Quills may vary up to approx. 1/2 size from size listed. For example, if you select a 6 gauge porcupine quill, the actual size may be smaller than 6 gauge but bigger than 7 gauge. Porcupine quills are very sharp at the ends. Be careful not to stab yourself with them. They can make you bleed. If desired, you can sand down the tip to make it smooth rounded rather than sharp.
