Our stud earrings are designed to fit into a flat back threadless post.

Flat back posts help create a clean look for your ear jewelry collection so it looks its best from every angle. They're also perfect for sleeping on your side with your jewelry on and the most comfortable to wear - say goodbye to butterfly backs catching onto things or poking you.

How does sizing works?

Flat back posts are measured in two ways: gauge and length. The first thing to know is your piercing gauge size. The gauge refers to the thickness of the earring post that goes through your ear. The length of your post refers to the wearable length of the earring post that goes through your piercing.

Most people wear a post that is 18g (1mm) gauge and 1/4" (6mm) or 5/16" (8mm) long for lobes and helix, but knowing your exact size will bring more comfort and long term health to your piercing.

The best way of knowing your size is by getting fitted by a professional piercer. You can also measure yourself with the help of The Complete Guide to Measuring Your Body Jewelry.

If you already have a fitted, threadless labret post in your fully healed piercing you can simply change the stud and keep your current post.

How to wear flat back posts?

With traditional earrings, you slide the piece front to back and put a butterfly backing to secure them. With flat back earrings, it’s the opposite. You put the flat back earring on from the back of your ear, sliding the post through your ear towards the front. Then you insert the front part of the earring - the decorative end - into the ear post to secure it.

Here's our guide on How Threadless Piercing Jewelry Works.

Are they body-safe?

Our posts are made of solid ASTM F-136 implant grade titanium which is long-lasting, hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. They are also polished to a mirror finish so that there aren’t any spaces for bacteria to grow and cause infections.
