With body jewelry, gauges aren’t an exact standardized measurement. Depending on the brand or jewelry, one 0g pair of plugs may be slightly smaller or larger than another 0g pair.The next size after 00g is 7/16″. The sizes go up by 1 sixteenth of an inch from there, but they’re reduced fractions, so instead of 8/16″, we just say 1/2″.

The gauge system was first created for measuring the thickness of wire (like electrical wiring or structural cables). It’s been in use for hundreds of years, at least since the 1700s.Gauges are also tricky when it comes to stretching, because you’re not stretching the same amount every time. For instance, 8g to 6g is a stretch of 1 millimeter. But when you stretch from 2g to 0g, that’s 2 millimeters — twice as a big of a jump! The gauge measuring system was created based on the number of holes the wire was pulled through. For example, a 10 gauge wire had been pulled through 10 holes, so it was much thinner than a 1 gauge wire, which was just pulled through one. That’s why the larger the number is, the thinner and smaller the actual measurement is. All of our jewelry is marked in both gauge size and in millimeters, so you’ll know exactly what size you’re getting. We also offer a lot of in-between sizes you won’t find elsewhere, like 1g (equal to 7mm).

Gauge sizes go up (or down, depending on how you look at it) in even numbers from there, so the next largest size from an 18g is 16g, then 14g, then 12g, and so on. The reason why it’s all hard to work out is that ear gauge sizes aren’t traditionally made for jewellery! Long story short they were created by the British wire industry to measure the thickness of wire using a 1” steel plate as a reference point. So using 1/16th became known as a 16 gauge, using 1/8th became an 8 gauge and so on. That’s why the lower the fraction the thicker the wire! (and also why it gets tricky past an inch!) One point to note here is that when working with the human body, sizes can differ. Unfortunately, it’s not always as accurate in inches or fractions which is why the gauge size can have different conversions. If you are stuck for your size, refer to our chart or get in touch and we’ll see if we can help you find the right ear gauges and plugs for you.Do you still have questions about ear gauge sizes? Get in touch with us today about any questions to do with our plugs and tunnels and we’ll get back to you within a day or two! Ear gauge sizes are tricky if you’re just starting with ear stretching. But, once you get used to the way we size plugs/gauges it’s not that hard, so here’s what you need to know about ear gauges and the sizing you need for stretching your ears. The key to remember is that the larger the size of your stretched ears, the smaller the gauge number! On the face of it, the sizing doesn’t make a lot of sense, for example, 4g ear gauges, are much bigger than 18g plugs. Then, when you run out of gauge numbers you start using solely mm and Inches.

We sell plugs in pretty much all of the ear gauge sizes, although not every design and material is available in every size. So whether you’re just starting our with stretching your ears or you’re just looking for some awesome body jewellery that you can’t find anywhere else, we can accommodate your size!But to put the sizes into perspective, when you first get your ears pierced with a traditional earring, it will likely be either a 20g or 18g and then you would stretch to the next size up which is either 16g (1.2mm or 3/64”) or 14g (1.5mm or 1/16”). So you work down the scale of gauges the larger you stretch your ears. First, measure the diameter of the earlobe. Then, use this measurement to choose the right size of ear gauge. For example, if the diameter of your earlobe is 0.4 inches, then you will need ear gauges that are 1/2 inch in diameter. Once you have selected the right size, insert the ear gauges into your ears and enjoy the new look! Start by lubricating the outside of the gauge with a water-based lubricant. Next, gently twist and pull the gauge out of the earlobe. Once again, take care not to pull too hard or push too forcefully. With a little practice, inserting and removing ear gauges is a simple and safe process.There are a few ways to figure out the size of your ear piercing. One way is to look at the gauge size of your jewellery. The most common sizes are 18 gauge, 16 gauge, and 14 gauge. If your jewellery is a different size, you can measure it with a ruler. Another way to determine the size of your ear piercing is to ask your piercer. They should be able to tell you what size your piercing is.

Gauge is important for a few reasons. First, thinner jewellery is more likely to cause irritation and longer healing times than thicker jewellery. Second, thinner jewellery is more likely to bend or break, which can lead to serious injury. Finally, different gauges are often needed for different types of piercings. For example, most earlobe piercings are done at 16g, while many cartilage piercings are done at 14g.

5. Sleep on your back for the first few nights after you get your gauged ears to prevent them from coming into contact with pillowcases or other fabrics that could irritate them.Ear gauges, also known as flesh tunnels, are circular disks inserted into the earlobe to create a large opening. They are available in various sizes, from 6mm to 25mm in diameter. Gauges can be made from various materials, including plastic, metal, wood, bone, and horn. Inserting and removing ear gauges is relatively simple but requires patience and care.5. Fifth and finally, think about how much you’re willing to spend on your ear gauges. Ear gauges can range in price from a few dollars to hundreds depending on the size, material, and design.4. Fourth, decide whether you want your ear gauges to be plain or decorated. Some people prefer simple designs, while others like their ear gauges to be more colourful or even have gemstones embedded in them.

Knowing your gauge is important for buying jewellery and for gauging healing times. However, it’s always best to err on caution and assume your piercing is a little larger than it might be to be safe.Once the ear has been stretched to the desired size, a gauge plug or tunnel can be inserted. These are usually made of metal, glass, or silicone and come in various colours and designs.

Gauges can also be measured in millimetres (mm). In this system, the lower the number, the thicker the jewellery. For example, a 2mm gauge is thicker than a 4mm gauge.Measuring your ears for gauges is a straightforward process that requires only a few items you likely already have in your home. A flexible measuring tape, a marker, and a friend to help are all you need. Next, measure from the starting point to the marked spot. This number corresponds to the size of the ear gauge that you will need. It is important to remember that gauges are measured in millimetres, so be sure to convert your measurement accordingly. With this information, you can confidently choose the right size ear gauges for you. 3. Third, consider the material you want your ear gauges to be made of. Ear gauges can be made of various materials, including plastic, metal, wood, and stone.

Sometimes, this can be done by regularly wearing increasingly larger gauge jewellery. In other cases, permanent stretching may be achieved by surgically creating a larger hole in the earlobe. Whether temporary or permanent, ear gauge sizing is a popular way to customize the look of your body piercings.

The best way to ensure that you pick the perfect size is to consult a professional piercer who can help gauge your options. With their expertise, you’ll be able to find the right pair of ear gauges for your unique anatomy.

There are a few different ways to measure gauges, but the most common way is using the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. This system uses numbers to designate thickness, with the lower numbers being thicker than, the higher numbers. So, for example, an 18 gauge earring is thicker than a 20 gauge earring. One way is to use a needle gauge. You can find these at most craft stores. Stick the needle corresponding to the gauge’s number into your piercing. You have that gauge if it goes in easily and doesn’t leave a big hole. When it comes to ear gauges, size does matter. The wrong size can cause pain and irritation, while the right size will be comfortable and look great. So how do you know what size of ear gauge to choose? The best way is to measure your ears. This can be done at home with a simple tape measure.Tapering helps to stretch the piercing slowly and evenly, minimizing the risk of irritation or tearing. The next type of ear gauge is the flesh tunnel, a circular piece of jewellery that goes through the pierced hole. Flesh tunnels can be made from various materials, including metal, wood, bone, and glass.

The gauge of a piercing is the measurement of the thickness of the jewellery. The most common gauges for body piercings are 18g, 16g, and 14g. The larger the number, the thinner the jewellery.

If you decide to remove your gauges, it is important to do so gradually to allow your earlobes time to heal. It would be best if you never tried to force them out, as this could permanently damage your ears. Over time, your earlobes will return to their original size.

Ear gauges are circular discs inserted into stretched earlobes to maintain their size. They come in various sizes, with the most common gauges being between 20 and 8 mm in diameter. While some people wear ear gauges for aesthetic reasons, others believe they have spiritual or cultural significance.Have your friend hold the end of the measuring tape at the top of your ear. From there, wrap the tape around the lobe to the point where it meets resistance. This is typically where the earlobe narrows or curves inward. Once you reach this point, have your friend mark the spot on the tape with the marker.

They are available in a wide range of sizes, from very small to large. The last type of ear gauge is the plug. A solid piece of jewellery that plugs up the pierced hole. Plugs can be made from various materials, including metal, wood, bone, horn, and stone. Again, they are available in a wide range of sizes, from very small to large.Now that you have a clear picture of Ear Gauging and how it works, it’s important to choose the right size. Unfortunately, not all ears are created equal, and there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to this type of body jewellery.However, be careful not to force the gauge, as this could cause further damage. If neither of these methods works, you may need to consult a professional piercer to have the gauge removed. With a little care and attention, you can ensure that your ear gauges are a perfect size.There are a few ways to figure out what gauge your piercing is. If you know the company or artist that did your piercing, they should be able to tell you. If not, there are a few ways to measure it yourself.The size of your earlobes can also determine what size gauges will fit best. For example, if you have smaller lobe openings, you may need to start with a higher gauge and work your way down. Conversely, if you have larger lobe openings, you may be able to start with a lower gauge.

Ear gauges are worn in piercings that start small and gradually get larger. The most common type of ear gauge is the taper, a long, thin rod with a flared end.Choosing the right size ear gauge is important, as gauges that are too small can cause pain and swelling, while gauges that are too large can result in tissue damage. However, if you have chosen the wrong size ear gauge, you can do a few things.

The goal is to stretch the earlobe gradually over time, so it may take several months to achieve the desired size. Then, to remove the gauge, reverse the process.

Remember, choosing the right size ear gauge is essential for a successful piercing. Take your time and ensure you’re comfortable with your decision before moving forward.You can also estimate your gauge by eye if you don’t have any of these tools. Most 18g piercings are about 4mm in diameter, 16g piercings are about 5mm, 14g piercings are about 6mm, and 12g piercings are about 8mm.But before you go rushing off to the nearest tattoo parlour, there’s one more thing you need to do: choose the right size ear gauge. Ear gauges come in various sizes, from small single-flared plugs to large tunnels. If you choose the wrong size, you could end up with pain, swelling, and even an infection. So how do you know which size is right for you? Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Another way is to measure the diameter of your piercing with a ruler. To do this, you’ll need callipers or a micrometre. Place the callipers on either side of your piercing and measure the distance between them. Convert this measurement to millimetres, giving you your gauge size.

There is no definitive answer to this question, as it depends on the project you are working on. However, a good rule of thumb is to use the thickness of your yarn as a guide. For example, if you are using a DK or light worsted weight yarn, then a gauge of 22-24 sts/4 inches (10 cm) on 4.5-5 mm (US 7-8) needles is typical. A gauge of 14-16 sts/4 inches (10 cm) on 6.5-9 mm (US 10 1/2 – 11) needles is more appropriate for a chunky weight yarn.First, try soaking the gauge in warm water for a few minutes to see if this will help it to shrink slightly. If this doesn’t work, gently push the gauge back through your earlobe.

One thing to keep in mind is that in most cases, larger gauges are going to be your best option for body jewelry. A very small gauge like 18 or even 16 runs a greater risk of migration, causing a lot of pain and possible rejection. As long as it’s pierced properly, a larger gauge such as 14 or 12 will be much more stable.Body jewelry gauges usually range from 18 g to 00 g. As the jewelry size increases beyond 00 g, the size of the jewelry is then expressed in its actual measurements, such as with 1/2-inch plugs. “Gauge [size] will vary pretty widely based on the client’s anatomy, preferences, and piercing location,” Faris explains.

Karen L. Hudson is a tattoo artist and contributing writer for Byrdie. She has been an amateur artist as a hobby since grade school, and served a 12 month tattoo apprenticeship in a tattoo studio.With many different gauge sizes to choose from, and a myriad of measurements to keep in mind, finding the perfect gauge size for your piercing can feel daunting. But don’t worry—with the right tools, professional guidance, and research, you will find yourself on the fastest track to finding the perfect match for your body piercing. Unless you request something different, most piercers have a standard size they prefer to use for starter jewelry based on the location of the piercing. If you can’t make it to your local piercing studio to determine the right gauge size for your body piercing, you can order a gauge wheel tool online instead. A gauge wheel is a “flat disk with notches cut in it that correspond to gauge sizes,” Faris explains. “You simply slide your piece of jewelry into the notches until you find the one it fits perfectly in. The size will be printed on the wheel next to the notch.” When you visit the site, Dotdash Meredith and its partners may store or retrieve information on your browser, mostly in the form of cookies.

This is really not the case, as it’s going to be uncomfortable either way and neither is unbearable. It’s also worth it to ensure you won’t have to remove a piercing a few months down the line because of migration.

At the end of the day, knowing the perfect gauge size for your piercing is like knowing what size shoes you wear, except for the fact that if you accidentally choose the wrong size, you risk causing physical damage to your piercing. “Jewelry that is too thin of a gauge could cause your piercing to shrink, and may even lead to tearing or cutting of the piercing,” Faris warns. “Jewelry that is too thick just might not even go in gently, and if forced could also cause tearing, bleeding, and obviously, pain.”

“In Europe and Asia, jewelry is measured in millimeters,” explains Thompson. “Here [in the U.S.] it’s measured by gauge.” Gauge sizes work in reverse, meaning that the higher the number, the thinner the width. So higher numbers (like 16 gauge) are thinner than smaller numbers (like a 6 gauge).

How is body jewelry measured? While you may be aware of the different gauge sizes for body jewelry, if you are new to these measurements, you’ll need a lesson in the basics since they’re a little counterintuitive. You may be asking questions like, what is the range of gauge sizes? And, why is knowing gauge size important?

Both AWG and mm are basically a measure of wire diameter (thickness). AWG or American Wire Gauge is a diameter unit used predominantly in the US, while a metric mm (millimeters) is used around the world.

The applicable standard that establishes these grades is Measurement of Plain External Diameters for use as Master Discs or Cylindrical Plug Gages, B89.1.5 – 1998, published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.In its use, a go plug gauge is designed to test the minimum dimensional limit of the hole (i.e. the lower tolerance of the hole’s diameter) which represents the maximum amount of remaining material on the part or workpiece. For an acceptance condition, the go plug gauge should fit in the hol
e. If the go plug gauge will not fit into the hole in the workpiece, then that is an indication that the hole’s diameter is too small (an insufficient amount of material has been removed from the workpiece) and the part needs to be rejected.
