Common Sizes for Body Jewellery
Pro Tips for Measuring
- Invest in a Caliper: Precision is everything when you’re chasing the perfect fit and what fits one person may differ from the next.
- Check the Diameter: For hoops and rings, measure the inner diameter - that’s what’ll determine how it sits.
-
Consult Your Piercer: They’re your piercing oracle. Trust them.
