I recently purchased this pincher for my septum piercing, it got to me extremely quickly which was excellent. I looked at it in the package & could tell it was the perfect size I had been looking for, so I opened it. The black was chipping off but I contacted the seller immediately & they responded immediately and apologized, another is on its way! I did try it on & it was exactly the size I wanted, I also love the o rings that come with this pincher, they're not so tiny that its impossible to get them on yet not too big & bulky. I'm sure I just got a defective piece & will follow up when I receive my new one. Two thumbs up to Steel Navel Jewelry for the great customer service!

*Update* I received my new one & it's perfect, shiny and beautiful, couldn't be more pleased! The pincher is a beautiful shiny black and the o rings are so much better than others that I have, very happy with my purchase & the entire transaction!!
