Apparatuses and systems for ornamental piercing of body parts are disclosed. Various embodiments of the invention employ a nut carrier (120) which includes a vertical engagement feature (146) and molded spring fingers (148a, 148b) to couple to a body piercing instrument (100). The vertical engagement feature prevents rotation of the nut carrier relative to the body piercing instrument and the molded spring fingers provide a secure engagement over a rounded flange (132) of the body piercing instrument. The nut carrier is implemented as a component in a body piercing system that employs separate carriers for the nut (124) and the post (128). The novel nut carrier simplifies manufacturing eliminating a welded two part flange previously employed in the body piercing instrument.
