Keeping this in view, how many mm is a normal ear piercing?
JEWELRY TYPE
| Standard Hoop Inner Diameter | |
|---|---|
| Ear Cartilage (Helix, Tragus, Lobe, etc.) | 5/16″ (8mm) |
| Earlobe (Main, 2nd, 3rd) | 5/16″ (8mm) |
| Earhead, Thin Helix (Hole near the edge) | 1/4″ (6-6.5mm) |
| Conch | 3/8″-1/2″ (10mm-12mm) |
In this way, how do I know what size my piercing is? The measurement that you need is the distance from the piercing hole to the edge of your ear. Take this measurement in a straight line, because if you measure at a diagonal angle you will end up with a hoop that fits larger than you anticipated.
