Sizes
Most of the piercings have different sizes, like length, thickness, diameter, and so on…
If you have, after reading this brief description, any more questions, do not hesitate to contact us at info@evyssecrets.com.
Thickness
With the thickness we mean the thickness of the bar.
Most usable thicknesses are 1,2mm (labret, BCR, circular barbell, eyebrow, earrings, fake piercings, etc…) and 1.6mm (tongue/barbell and belly piercings, etc…).
Length
With the length we mean the lengthens of the bar. Here, there are much more different sizes, it would be better that you measure your size or that you ask your piercer.
Diameter
With diameter we mean the diameter between one end and the other.
It is mostly used with tunnels, plugs, BCR, earrings, balls, stretchers, etc…
Also better measure first your size, or ask your piercer.
