So you just pierced a new hole in your ear, but you’re not sure what size jewelry you should be looking for ?
If your piercing was done with a needle in a piercing shop or a Tatoo Parlour , they may have informed you of the size right there, but maybe you just forgot what your piercer told you.
An earlobe piercing that’s done with a piercing instrument at is a 22 gauge needle or Ear stud. Any standard size earring or post will fit you. If you’ve been pierced with a needle in a piercing shop, most likely you’re at a 20 or 18 gauge, which infact is Thickker. No worries! The smaller the gauge the thicker the needle and the bigger the hole, so anystandard size earringcan be worn in addition to 20 or 18 gauge captive rings, cartilage studs, etc.

*NOTE: If your cartilage piercing is done with a piercing instrument, it will most likely be a 22 gauge piercing. You will want to look at standard size earring studs (like those shown above) rather than ones made specifically for cartilage piercings.It’s always good to check with your piercer for accuracy no matter what type of piercing (lobe or cartilage) so as not to stretch/damage the tissue.
For tragus, anti-tragus, helix, rook, conch and most cartilage piercings (any part of the ear other than your lobe) a piercer will use an 18 gauge (as seen above) or 16 gauge needle. Depending on the anatomy of your ear, the piercer may use a 14 gauge needle as well. Industrial piercings are typically pierced at 14 gauge.Mostof the cartilage and BCR (captive ring) styles we carry come in both 18 and 16 gauge sizes. Captive rings also come in 14 gauge.
A lot of us withnose piercingswill jump around a bit, try a few different styles, and ultimately pick one or two go-to nose rings that fit well without very much difficulty. But what happens when you find a bunch of nose rings you like, and most of them just plain don’t fit?
The Complete Guide To Measuring Your Body Jewelry
If you know your gauge size and the style you prefer but still find your nose jewelry sticking up or sticking out, it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty. Not every nose will be the very same size and notevery piercingwill rest in the same place. So here’s a few common nose jewelry pitfalls, and trust us, most of themcanbe fixed.
A: If the actual gem or decorative portion that’s visible sticks up, you need to look at the rise of your jewelry. Rise is the length of the portion between the base of yournose ring’s gemand the curve, and many common nose screws or l-shapes have a rise of 6 or 7 millimeters. For those with slightly thinner nostrils though, a 5mm rise might be needed for proper fit, so you should look for an item with that smaller measurement.
A: If this happens it could mean you either have a slightly smaller nose than average, or that your piercing lays just slightly farther down your nostril. Neither of these are a bad thing, but they can make wearing screw style jewelry a little difficult. If switching to anose bone styleitem is comfortable, that can be a quick and easy fix. For those who would prefer to stick to screws though, trying an item with a less pronounced curve or one that doesn’t make a full revolution may solve the issue.

Q: I want to wear anose hoopbut my piercing is a little higher on my nostril. How can I get a hoop that will fit without looking oversized?
A: If regular hoops don’t seem to be quite big enough but larger universal circulars stick out too much, a good fix is getting a custom bend. In this case, you can purchase a type of extra long, straight nose ring calleda fishtail, and take it to your piercer to get a hoop custom bent for your unique nose.
In the market for a shiny new nose hoop? Well before you buy, you’ll want to know exactly what size you need. Here’s how to find out:
Size Guide For Body Piercing Jewelry
The gauge is the thickness of abody jewelryitem, and directly correlates to the needle size used for your piercing. Because there are so many different sized noses, nosepiercingswill also be done in different sizes. The most common are an 18 gauge, and a 20 gauge.
Even though the number itself is larger, the 20 is actually thesmallersize; for body jewelry, size goesdownas the number goes up.Nose piercingsthat were performed in eastern nations such as India may sometimes be a teeny 22 gauge, but for the most part 18 and 20 are our primary choices.
After figuring out your gauge, you’ll then need to know what diameter size you require. Diameter fornose hoopsis measured as the distance from inside edge to inside edge across the widest portion of the hoop. Depending on how high up your piercing is and how large your nostril is, an incorrect diameter size can look a little funny, so this is actually pretty important aesthetically too.

The two most common sizes here are 5/16″ (8mm) and 3/8″ (10mm), but those with larger noses may prefer a slightly larger ring, so measuring one that you already know fits properly is a good idea. Alternatively, a piercer in your area can measure eitheryour jewelry, your nose, or both and recommend a specific size for you.
If you’ve ever lost a body jewelry ball or had your favorite barbell chip, then chances are you’re familiar with body jewelryreplacement parts. But how do you know exactly what to get to give you the same look? Follow these few tips and you’ll be good to go:
Knowing the gauge size (thickness) of the item in question is essential, even if what you need is a ball rather than a barbell or post. Because balls have a hollow portion that screws onto abarbell, you need one that’s made to fit onto the exact size barbell you have. All balls and posts that are sold separately as parts will be clearly labeled with the gauge size that they fit.

For posts or barbells, you’ll also need to know the length you require for your piercing, or forcircular barbells, the diameter of the hoop. When in doubt, you can always get another piece of jewelry that you know fits you measured. Piercers can do this for you, and many of them don’t charge.
When replacing balls, spikes, or decorative tips, you’ll need to be sure that you get the right type of item. Captive ring replacement balls have no holes or threads, only dents that allow the edges of a ring to be held in place. If you need a captive ring ball, regular threaded tips won’t work, and if you need a screw on ball, captive balls won’t fit the bill. The same goes for items that areinternally threaded, but don’t sweat it because the type of ball will always be listed, so there isn’t any guesswork.
The last thing to be aware of before grabbing areplacement ball is the size of the ball itself. Replacement pieces often come in multiple sizes to accommodate a range of different piercings, so if you’re set on creating the same exact look, you’ll need a ball that’s the same diameter size. There are always exceptions to every rule, but for the most part the common sizes here hold true:
Measuring Body Jewellery Guide
The length of an item is exactly what it sounds like, and applies to both straight andcurved barbellsand posts. For curved items, this will be measured straight across the distance between the two balls or decorative ends, notloosely along the curve. Most straight posts and bars come in a range of standard sizes, the most common of which are listed below.
Hint: for industrial barbells, you may find sizes that fall in between these exact measurements, but each will be noted in the product’s specifications, and generally annotated as a measurement in millimeters.
Diameter applies primarily to shields andcircular barbells, like BCRs, segment rings, or horseshoe barbells. The diameter of these items will always be measured from inside edge to inside edge at the widest part of the circle.

Hint: when in doubt, just remember your standard sizes. 1/4″ diameter items are most often used for ear cartilage piercings, 5/16″ and 3/8″ for nose piercings and eyebrow rings, and 11mm and 12mm (1/2″) forlip ringsand nipple piercings. Obviously there are many exceptions to these rules, but at least they’ll give you a general idea of what to shoot for.
