At Beatti, we strive to ensure clear and accessible communication about jewelry sizing.
We utilize both gauge and millimeter measurements to accommodate all customers.
To assist you in finding the perfect fit, here is our comprehensive sizing guide for our range of piercing items.
PIERCING AREA & TERMINOLOGY
FORWARD HELIX
The forward helix is a beautiful piercing location, making the most of the small piece of skin located just above the tragus.
HELIXOne of the most popular ‘starter’ piercings after lobes, a helix is located at the top of the ear in the cartilage and provides lots of possibilities for the different jewellery styles you can wear.
ROOKA rook piercing is located just below the flat part of the ear, in the ridge of cartilage that hangs below. This is an impressive and unique piercing to have!
FLATA flat piercing is located on the flat part of the ear, it allows space to experiment with statement labrets including those with hanging dangles for an eye-catching ear look.
DAITHDaith piercings are one of our personal favourites at Beatti due to the beautiful front-facing clickers that can be worn, making a big statement to any ear look.
CONCHA conch piercing is a popular option for those wanting to wear a hoop that orbits around the center of their ear, or for nestling a touch of subtle sparkle inside with a labret.
TRAGUSA tragus is one of the most common piercing placements as the jewellery in this location can be easily shown off with a beautiful statement labret or a dainty hoop.
LOBEThe one that gets us all hooked! A lobe piercing is the most common type of ear piercing, located in the fleshy part of the ear lobe and not typically too painful.

*In general, if your ear was pierced with a gun, you will typically have the option of 18-20 gauge jewelry. If your piercing was done with a needle, jewelry in the range of 16-20 gauge will usually be suitable. However, please keep in mind that without a personal evaluation, we cannot provide precise recommendations, as individual variations exist. These are common standards that apply to most individuals.
*Please note that it is difficult to provide precise determinations without an in-person evaluation, as everyone's ear shape is unique. We strongly recommend visiting your local piercer for an accurate measurement and to determine your exact size. They will be able to assess your individual needs and provide personalized recommendations for your specific piercing.
