A
tapered piece of
body jewelry used for
regular wear as well as
stretching. Held in place with
o-rings, these pieces of
jewelry are usually
large, and therefore are commonly made of
acrylic to be lighter for wear. As with a
claw,
stretching may be done gradually as the
jewelry is pushed further into the
piercing,
eventually opening the
hole to the
spike's largest
gauge at the
base. Useful to
gauge queens with a lack of
financial backup.
