Body Jewellery Size Guide
Body jewellery is measured by both gauge (needle width/thickness) and post length, with different gauges and lengths being more suited to different types of piercings. The post length includes only the piercing post and not any balls or attachments.
Most piercings are performed using the standard sizes, however you can also request different gauges depending on the location and personal preference of the customer.
Below is a general guide of the standard sizing for various piercings, depending on an individuals anatomy there can be variations and it may be a case of trial and error to find your best fit. We recommend measuring a piece you're currently wearing to gain a rough idea prior to purchasing your new jewellery or ask your body piercer the size they used for the implant.
| Placement | Gauge | Post Length | |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Navel |
14g (Standard) Can also shrink in width to a size 16g if piercing left to partially close and standard sizes don't fit. |
10mm (Standard) Can also vary from 6mm up to 19mm depending on piercing age and accuracy. Body weight is not usually a factor for piercing measurements. |
 |
Nipple | 14g (Standard) |
16mm (Standard) Can also vary from 6mm up to 19mm |
 |
Nostril | 18g, 20g |
6mm - 8mm Hoops 6mm - Studs / L-Bends |
 |
Septum | 14g, 16g | 8mm - 10mm |
 |
Helix | 18g, 19g, 20g | 6mm - 8mm |

How to establish your preferred length for body jewellery.
The listed length (inches" or millimetres as shown above) refers to the distance between the balls. It is the length of the piercing shaft in fractional inches/millimeters and not the length of the full body jewellery.
If you are unsure what size you are, measure a piece of body jewellery that currently fits you correctly and this will assist you in establishing the best size moving forward. You may need to adjust your preferred sizing up or down depending on whether or not the current fit is as snug as you would like or perhaps too tight.
Length Conversion (eg. 3/8" 10mm)
| Millimeters | Fractional Inches |
| 6mm | 1/4" |
| 8mm (short length) | 5/16" |
| 10mm (standard sizes) | 3/8" |
| 11mm (standard sizes) | 7/16" |
| 12mm | 1/2" |
| 14mm | 9/16" |
| 16mm | 5/8" |
| 19mm | 3/4" |
| 22mm | 7/8" |
| 25mm | 1" |
Gauge - width of the shaft (eg. 14g)
Body jewellery is measured by gauges. The higher the gauge the skinnier the piercing post becomes. For example a 12g post is far thicker than a 19g post.
Refer to the chart below for specific details.
| Gauge | Millimeter | Inches |
| 20g (standard septum) | 0.81mm | 1/32" |
| 18g (standard septum) | 1mm | 3/64" |
| 16g (standard septum) | 1.2mm | 3/64" |
| 14g (standard navel) | 1.6mm | 1/16" |
| 12g | 2mm | 5/64" |
| 10g | 2.4mm | 3/32" |
| 8g | 3.2mm | 1/8" |
| 6g | 4mm | 5/32" |
| 4g | 5mm | 3/16" |
| 2g | 6mm | 1/4" |
| 0g | 8mm | 5/16" |
| 00g | 9.5mm | 3/8" |
Ball Size Conversion Chart
Body jewellery balls are sold by the millimeter, and the threading (screw) needs to match the piercing posts gauge.

| 4 | 5/32 |
| 5 | 3/16 |
| 6 | 1/4 |
| 8 | 5/16 |

Plated jewellery is perfect if you want the style of gold or antique plating without the price tag. It allows you to save money and buy more body jeweller pieces! Take caution though, plated jewellery (unlike solid gold) will fade over time, especially when it is regularly exposed to water or chemicals like soaps, creams, sun lotion, tanning oils and cleaning products. Even your perspiration and the PH balance of your skin can affect the lifespan of gold plated jewellery. It's impossible to predict how long your gold plated body jewellery will last as this depends on many factors, including how often you wear it and the conditions it's exposed to. Chlorine, salt water and pool chemicals can have an aging effect on your shiny plated jewels, for this reason we recommend replacing your gold plated body jewellery with surgical steel, 925 Sterling silver or solid gold when showering or swimming and saving your plated jewellery for other special occasions.
NOTE: Do NOT store your plated jewellery in the bathroom or anywhere humid, this will speed up the aging process. Keep plated jewellery dry and away from the elements.
