They have been used in one form or another since ancient times since it has been found that even cave men's used bones as decoration for perforated parts of the body and of course a typical bones looks very similar to a modern barbell. These items can be manufactured from a great variety of materials such as 316L steel, Titanium G23, Acrylic and Boiled.

Any barbell will always consist of three parts which are one upper attachments and one lower attachment and the central post. The attachments are normally identically sized but for barbells used for tongue piercing the lower attachment is always a ball of a comfortable size such as 5 mm to be comfortable whereas the upper attachment can have a great variety of shapes and sizes since this is the only part which can be seen.

Micro barbells which are used for the eyebrow or tragus penetration which have normally a thickness of 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm (20 g - 16 g) and with attachments of 2 - 4 mm.
