Tips

How to work out the bar length

Bar length
Barbells are not adjustable so you need to choose the length of the bar.
How do I work out the length?

Gauge (bar thickness)
0.8mm/20 gauge barbells are good for ear piercings which have shrunk or were originally pierced with a gun. 0.8mm gauge is the same thickness as many of the posts on our traditional style earrings with butterfly backs including the Blomdahl titanium and Studex Sensitive earrings. They are not compatible with the screw-on accessories which are 1.2mm gauge.

Exactly what I wanted

It's really hard to find .8 gauge barbells so was delighted to find them here... And at such a great price. Pleased with the quality and they arrived very quickly.

Seems Great

Unfortunately it turns out I am intolerant to 316L steel in my ears, so I didn't wear it for long... but it seems well made, smooth with no sharp edges or gritty texture along the shaft... and it's a shame I don't get to wear it.

Metal Allergies
316L surgical steel is hypoallergenic but does contain a small amount of nickel. The nickel release rate is only around 0.02 0.02μg/cm2/week but it may cause a problem if you are very sensitive to nickel.
