Thanks. Do you have an url?

[url]http://www.anatometal.com/[/url] describes itself as a placeholder & also that
they're a wholesalers. For retail it advises [url]http://www.bmeshop.com/[/url] but
they don't list curved barbells under their Ti products:
[url]http://www.bmeshop.com/ProductCart/pc/viewCat_h.asp?idCategory=17[/url]
Even their steel curved barbells only go up to 2ga.

give Breed316 a call ([url]http://www.breed316.co.uk[/url]) -always found them to
be helpful for custom jewelery in the past, although it's been found you
get better service if you call than if you order online.

As you advised, re a chunk ring recently, I have ordered from them &
been reasonably satisfied. However as the Ti curved barbell is to help
with healing an existing piercing, I really wanted something promptly
which would rule out custom.

A US location would make it difficult to get my hands on an item
quickly, but I'll take a look. Thanks.

Not exclusively, but...

....perhaps that is the case. It seems to be harder to find Ti jewellery
here, certainly in larger gauges. Equally though, there seems less
concern about suitability of 316L steel.

I'd welcome info re a UK supplier, if such exists.

Not for me they don't - I now have personal experience. They might be a
good idea for a PA when at narrow gauge or if one is circumcised, but
otherwise, forget it. Foreskin, a 12mm ball (on an 8x19mm SS curved
barbell) & an open wound don't make a good combination. I wore the
barbell for only 48 hours & have probably increased the healing time by
one to two weeks.

I reckon if I'd worn if for a week, aside from a lot of discomfort &
some bleeding, I'd have ended up with a PA at 12mm :-/
