Head Banger is the Pastease Plus X shape done in black with a hot neon pink outline, a pair of cross pasties that looks at home in a mosh pit, at a metal show or under a ripped band tee. The classic X is one of the brand's longest-running cuts; this version swaps the plain finish for a two-tone, gig-ready colourway.

The Plus X shape

Each cross measures 3 in wide by 3 in tall, with the central coverage area listed at 1.6 in. The arms extend well past the nipple, so the shape stays readable even on a larger chest, while the covered centre is on the compact side. If your areolas are wide and you're wearing sheer fabric over the top, a round or heart design with bigger coverage may suit you better.

Wearing them to a show

Apply on bare skin with no moisturiser, deodorant spray or body oil nearby. Line the X up straight or tilt it a few degrees for a looser, more punk look, then press out along each arm, since the tips are where lifting starts. Pastease rates the adhesive as waterproof and sweat-resistant, and the material is soft and shaped to curve with you rather than crease when nipples harden. Because every pair is hand-made in the USA, the outline can differ slightly from the photo.

Re-wearing a favourite pair

Peel each cross off slowly, folding it back over itself close to the skin rather than yanking upward. Pastease sells Plus Cross refill adhesives cut to this exact shape, so a pair you love can go out again.

Helpful Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about Pastease Head Banger Neon Pink & Black Cross Pasties.

How long do Pastease cross pasties stay on?

They hold until you peel them away, provided they went onto clean, oil-free skin. Pastease has said its adhesive is designed to last up to a week on oil-free skin, though most people take them off the same night. Sweat and dancing are fine; lotion underneath is what causes slipping.

Will the 1.6-inch centre cover my nipple?

For most small and average nipples, yes. The listed 1.6 in is the coverage across the middle of the X, while the arms reach out to 3 in. With wide areolas and a sheer top, some edge may show, so do a quick mirror check before heading out.

Are these the same shape as other Pastease X pasties?

Yes, Head Banger uses the Plus X cut. That means it matches other Plus X designs in size, and the Plus Cross refill adhesives fit it. Only the colourway differs: black with a neon pink outline here.

Does it hurt to take nipple pasties off?

It shouldn't if you go slowly. Lift one arm of the cross and peel it back low and flat against the skin. A little baby oil or makeup remover along the edge loosens a stubborn spot. Pulling straight out is what stings.

Can I wear these swimming?

Pastease describes its adhesive as waterproof, so a swim or a hot, sweaty crowd shouldn't lift them if they went on dry skin. Check local rules before going topless in public, as pasties don't change what a beach or pool allows.
