Forward Helix Piercing Sizes - Bars and Labrets
Posted by Rachel Davenport on
Bar Length:
- EXTRA SMALL (6mm): Fully Healed piercings only. Attempting to fit a 6mm before healing is complete will likely cause swelling, irritation and discomfort.
- SMALL (7mm): Suitable if your original 8mm bar is slightly too long and you need a size down before the piercing is fully healed. Typically this change can be made after the first 12 weeks of healing.
- MEDIUM (8mm): This is a safe bet to go for - especially if your piercing is less than 6 months old. There will be some room on the bar once it is inserted. This may also be the size you were pierced with.
Bar Thickness (Gauge):
- STANDARD (1.2mm): This is the gauge that is used by most piercers for Forward Helix piercings.
- SKINNY (1.0mm): If available choose this size for piercings that have had no jewellery in for a while OR if a 'normal earring' has been worn previously.
