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.
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" |
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" |
Body jewellery balls are sold by the millimeter, and the threading (screw) needs to match the piercing posts gauge.
