Piercing Size Conversion Chart
Piercing Size Guide – (mm to gauge conversion chart)
All measurements of our piercings, plugs & jewellery on our site are shown in millimetres (mm) unless stated otherwise. We realise that not everyone uses these measurements so we have included a handy conversion chart below if inches / gauge is your preferred method. Being based in the UK we use the metric system (the correct system haha).
Its fairly self explanatory however if you wish to know more about measuring your specific piercing, please visit our blog posts and “how to guides” for further info. Alternatively you can reach us via the contact us page.
We also stock measuring tools to help you check the size / gauge of all your barbells and plugs here
