We also carry 16G (1.2mm/0.047 inches) studs. We feel it’s a good compromise between the two sizes as it is safer.

Piercing studios prefer to use a minimum of 18G because the thicker post makes it less likely for the jewelry to be torn from your ear lobe, which reduces your chances of having a split earlobe or ripped earlobe (or other piercing location). If you were pierced at a piercing studio, chances are you were pierced with either an 18 gauge or 16 gauge thickness post, depending on the location of your piercing. 20 gauge is the most common thickness and is usually the gauge that was used if you were pierced with a piercing gun, usually at the mall. Just be prepared for a long healing time and a little discomfort, which will all be worth it when you are rocking this fantastic look.Earring gauges describe the thickness of the earring post.
Industrial piercings are beautiful piercings for the ear and make a pretty fashionable statement. Make sure that all the folds and areas around the piercing are properly cleaned to prevent infection. Sea salt soaks are a great safe method to clean the piercing.
When cleaning the industrial piercing it is recommended that it is cleaned 2-3 times a day. Anything that comes in contact with your piercing can cause it to be aggravated and take longer to heal. This is due to the cartilage material being pierced and the fact that this location tends to be disturbed quite a bit by hair, clothes, hats, and sleeping positions. It takes approximately 3 months to a year for the industrial piercing to heal properly. The healing time on this type of piercing is significantly longer than others on the body. They are internally threaded to securely fasten to your barbell itself. The balls on either side of the barbell are either 5 or 6mm in size. The angle of the piercings and distance between the piercings will determine if a barbell industrial piercing is a good selection for you personally. The length of the barbell can range from 28-55mm in length depending on how far apart the piercing holes are located on your ear and of course by how large your ear is. Sometimes this method can make it pretty hard to fit an elongated barbell into the holes, which is why some people will use a flexible barbell made of bioplast when they are first pierced to make the healing process easier and less confined by metal jewelry. Once they have healed, the captive bead rings can be removed and a straight barbell can be worn in their place. It is actually easier to heal if the piercings are first pierced with captive bead rings in the hole, until the piercings have healed.
