Earrings are a popular fashion item that is an essential part of girls' fashion, and there are many different types available.
Even if you limit it to the classic "ear", there are many parts that can be pierced! There are even names for the parts that can be pierced, so it's quite deep!

This time, we will summarize the necessary knowledge for piercing, such as size (gauge) and the names of the holes.

What is the piercing size notation "G (gauge)"?

The gauge refers to the thickness of the part (shaft) that goes through the ear.

The smaller the gauge number, the thicker the shaft and conversely, the higher the gauge number, the smaller the shaft.

We've created a table to make it easy to understand how many millimeters the gauge is!

If you are getting your ear pierced in the general earlobe area, the standard size is 16G to 18G.
The sizes of first piercings attached to commercially available piercers and piercings sold in stores are "16G to 18G"!

In the case of the even thicker 14G, the thicker gauge makes you more likely to feel pain than necessary.
Therefore, although it is possible to use it on the earlobe, we recommend a size of 16G or less . However, if you are going to pierce the cartilage, we recommend a size of 14G!
It is possible to pierce a piercing hole to the same size as your earlobe, 16G to 18G, but we do not recommend it as there are disadvantages to this, such as the piercing not being as stable as it should be and the piercing hole being more likely to shrink.

For small cartilage areas such as the tragus (※), use a 14G piercing needle, and use it flexibly!

Summary of names for piercing hole locations

The name of a piercing hole changes depending on where it is pierced.
The part of the earlobe that is commonly pierced actually has a name!

This time, we will explain the names and features of each part using "4MiLi" products.

Ear Lob

Piercings in the earlobe are called "ear lobes" and are the most common location for first piercings.

And, since it is the least painful of the various parts, we recommend the "ear lobe" for those who are sensitive to pain.

helix

The part that curves inwards above the ear is called the "helix."
This is a classic cartilage piercing and is a popular area because the pain level is not too high!

Many people wear it with "ear lobes" and it looks well balanced, so I recommend it.

Dice

The piercing in the cartilage at the base of the upper part of the ear is called a "dicing".
It's in an unusual location, so it's unlikely that someone else will wear it.

Wearing dainty earrings will give you a stylish and pretty look!

Tragus

The piercing in the triangular cartilage part at the base of the piercing near the face, in front of the earhole, is called a "tragus".

It's a popular part for both men and women, and even simple piercings stand out, making it a very fashionable part of the body.
