The Perfect Size
Piercing is an Artform, and a Work In Progress. Choosing the right post length at the right stage of your piercing journey is paramount to healing success, comfort and ultimately 100% style satisfaction.

As a general rule, 8mm posts are required for new piercings, and 5-6mm is the perfect size for healed piercings. Use the guide and table below to help choose which post is right for you. Unsure? Our team of experts are available to provide advice and ensure you find the perfect fit. *
