Twenty-three years of body jewelry. One Amherst, NY warehouse.
BodyCandy started in 2002 as the body-jewelry destination the internet didn't have yet. Pre-Etsy, pre-Instagram body-positivity, pre-mainstream piercing culture — Cybercartel International saw that the body-modification community deserved more than the local mall kiosk. They built a catalog. They sourced from real jewelry workshops. They built a customer-service phone line answered by humans in Amherst, New York.
Twenty-three years later, BodyCandy is the most-trusted body jewelry retailer on the web — over 10,000 pieces across every piercing type, licensed collaborations with the NFL, NBA, Marvel, DC, and Pokémon, and a customer base of millions of returning piercing enthusiasts. Still family-run. Still Amherst, NY. Still answering the phone Monday through Friday.
Curated Sense carries the full BodyCandy lineup with editorial guides on sizing, materials, and aftercare you won't find on bodycandy.com — backed by primary sources from the Association of Professional Piercers, ASTM International, NIH/PubMed, and the AAD. Free US shipping over $24.99.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is BodyCandy jewelry safe for new piercings?
BodyCandy carries body-safe materials including 316L surgical stainless steel, titanium, niobium, bioplast, and 14kt solid gold — all suitable for new and healed piercings. For brand-new piercings, professional piercers typically recommend titanium or bioplast.
What sizes do BodyCandy belly button rings come in?
Standard belly button rings are 14 gauge with a 7/16 inch (11mm) barbell length — the universal industry standard for healed navel piercings. BodyCandy also offers 16ga and 12ga options, longer post lengths for deeper navels or pregnancy, and shorter post lengths for shallow piercings.
Does BodyCandy ship internationally?
BodyCandy ships internationally via bodycandy.com — but Curated Sense currently ships orders within the United States only. Free US shipping kicks in over $24.99.
Are the licensed NFL, NBA, Marvel, DC, and Pokémon pieces real?
Yes. BodyCandy holds official licensing agreements with the NFL, NBA, NHL, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and The Pokémon Company. All licensed pieces are authentic.
What if I have a metal allergy?
Look for the niobium, titanium, or 14kt solid gold lines — these are hypoallergenic and ideal for nickel-sensitive skin.
How does BodyCandy compare to buying body jewelry at a piercing shop?
Local piercing shops typically carry 50-200 styles. BodyCandy carries 10,000+ across every piercing type, with material clearly marked and prices a fraction of shop pricing.
