Industrial piercings don't have backs, it's one long barbell running through two diffrent piercings in the ear cartilage.

For industrial piercings, a needle, usually 16 gauge, is used. The ear is marked so the piercer knows where to put the needle, and the needle goes through both pieces of cartilage. Then, the bar is inserted through the needle, the needle is removed, and the other end is screwed onto the ball. This video shows how its done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfPM-esijW
