Standard jewellery sizes for the most common piercings

Please keep in mind that everyone is unique and this chart cannot account for everyone's anatomy and is only a recommended size for a given piercing.

Threaded jewellery ends need to be chosen with the thickness of your jewellery and the manufacturer in mind.

For jewellery with a thickness of 1.6 mm, a tip with a thread size of 1.2 mm is required (also applies to microdermal piercings)

For jewellery with a thickness of 1.2 mm, a threaded end with a thread size of US - 0.9 mm or EU 0.8 mm is required. These two types (depending on the country of manufacturer) are not compatible with each other, so you need to pay enough attention to the selection.

You can easily check the compatibility of the jewellery with the separately sold tip according to the manufacturer (EU/US) in the product parameters - next to the photo.

The most common tip size for different parts of the body:

Nostril: 1,5 mm - 2 mm, larger decorative pieces

Face and ear piercings: mini 2 mm, small 3 mm, larger from 4 mm to large decorative designs

Belly button piercing: 4 & 6 mm for smaller beads, 5 & 8 mm for regular, larger beads

Nipple piercing: 4 - 5 mm (or larger ornamental)
