Standard Body Jewelry Sizes



Belly - Navel 
Thickness / Diameter: 14 Gauge (1.6mm)
Length: 3/8" or7/16" (10mm or 11mm)
Jewelry: Bent Barbells, Spirals, Circular Barbells, CBR's

The standard navel jewelry is 14ga. Very few piercers will pierce a navel with a 12 gauge needle unless requested. The most common size jewelry for a healed navel is 3/8 inch or 7/16 inch. The next size up is 1/2 inch if you prefer something longer. Since navel piercing is the most common piercing, it would only make sense that this should be the most versatile piece of jewelry. That is why we are one of the only company to offer the largest selection in Navel Jewelry. Since everyone is different, we have an endless amount of options you can choose from.
 



Tongue
Thickness / Diameter: 14 Gauge (1.6mm)
Length: 5/8" (16mm)
Jewelry: Straight Barbells

The most common gauge for a tongue piercing is 14ga. Once healed, the most common barbell length is a 5/8 inch. We offer all our Tongue jewelry in any gauge from 14ga, 12ga, 10ga all the way up to 1/2 inch. It is recommended to wear jewelry that fits perfect in your tongue. Too long of a barbell will knock on your gums and teeth and will eventually damage them. If for any reason you feel your tongue jewelry creates too much friction with your gums or teeth, IMMEDIATELY replace your jewelry with something shorter. Too short of a barbell could result in the tongue healing over the balls. Keep in mind; you are pierced with a longer post (usually 7/8") to allow for swelling and to aid in the healing process. To avoid damaging your teeth and gums, you should switch to a shorter length barbell when the swelling goes down.

Length: 5/16" or 3/8" (8mm or 10mm)
