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.

	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
Conch	16g, 18g	12mm - 16mm Hoops 10 - 14mm Studs
Rook	16g	6mm Snug/comfortable Can also vary from 5mm up to 8mm
Daith	16g	8mm Can also vary up to 10mm
Tragus	16g	6mm Can also vary from 5mm up to 8mm
Industrial	14g	35mm Can also vary from 25mm up to 38mm
Dermal	14g	Frontals vary between 4mm - 8mm
Eyebrow	16g	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.

Millimeters	Fractional Inches
3	1/8
4	5/32
5	3/16
6	1/4
8	5/16
10	3/8

This type of body jewellery achieves its unique colour with the use of Colourline PVD Plating or similarly titanium plating. Take caution cleaning or exposing plated jewellery to water. 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 plated body jewellery.

It's impossible to predict how long your plated collection will last as this depends on many factors, including how often you wear it and the conditions you expose it to. Chlorine, salt water and pool chemicals can have an aging effect on your shiny plated jewels, for this reason we recommend replacing your 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.

ESTABLISH YOUR PERFECT SIZE

Stacked Perfection

Post Length: Measurements are taken from the back of the frontal to the end of the post, this represents the length of the earring post. MARIA TASH threaded studs are available in the standard 6.5mm length, and various other sizes to suit different piercing locations and your unique anatomy, including 5mm, 8mm, 9.5mm, and 11mm.

Hoop Size: The diameter determines its size, which is measured across the inner part of the ring. Although the most common diameters for MARIA TASH jewelry are 6.5mm and 8mm, many of our hoops come in 5mm, 9.5mm, 11mm, and larger.

If you are unsure, you can measure an existing piece of jewellery that you own to establish a rough idea of the best size for you.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

STUD SIZE GUIDELINE

Traditional butterfly studs are the most common type of earring. These are recommended for Lobe piercings for easy changeover.

For cartilage piercings though, we recommend threaded studs for 24/7 comfort. They screw securely into place and have smooth backs that lay flush against the ear and don’t poke out or get caught on hair and clothing. Maria Tash offer six different post sizes so you can find the perfect fit.

High or Stacked Lobe: 6.5mm
Helix: 6.5mm
Conch: 6.5mm
Tash Rook: 5mm
Tragus: 6.5mm
Forward Helix: 5mm
Nostril: 6.5mm
Earlobe, piercing 1 and 2: 6.5mm
Earlobe, piercing 3 and up: 5mm
