What size is 16mm piercing gauges?

Sizes larger than 10mm no longer use the gauge system, so we measure their diameter in mm and inches. So 16mm gauges are equivalent to 5/8" size. 

All of our plugs in the store have sizing filters on them so you know how to find ones that fit you, but if you need a helping hand with the conversion, check out our size chart. 

If you don’t have 16mm stretched ears yet and you’re still working your way back up, you should do so slowly to avoid damaging your ears or having a blowout as it’s a larger gauge. If you need a hand to stretch safely and properly, be sure to take a look at our stretching kits and ear tapers as well.

What materials, shapes, and colours do 16mm gauge come in?

Our gauges, tunnels, and 16 mm plugs are available in several different materials. Those of you that love colourful designs and intricate patterns will surely love our silicone, glass, and acrylic items as they usually have nice shimmer or glow effects, which really pop in the sunlight. 

We also have metal plugs, tunnels, and gauges available in steel, silver, bronze, brass, gold, rose gold, and black colours. If you’re looking for something for a special occasion our mixed materials that use things like precious and semi-percious stones are a perfect subtle choice with beautiful effects.

You can also find designs that add quartz, amethyst, cobalt, and diamond to make designs look more intricate. Silicone, glass, and acrylic items come in a wide range of colours, as well as many different shapes such as triangles, squares, hearts, tears, or even coffins alongside your classic plugs, gauges, and tunnels. Silicone is a favourite for those who play sports or want a comfortable day-to-day option, but be aware you can’t wear them until your stretch is full healed or it may cause an infection.
