Piercing Tools & Calculators
Free tools for getting a piercing right — gauge conversion, jewelry sizing, healing-time estimates, safe stretching, aftercare scheduling, and ring diameters.
Gauge Size Converter
Convert a piercing gauge to millimetres and inches and back — read the exact wire thickness behind 20g through 00g, and find the nearest gauge for any measured jewelry
Jewelry Size Calculator
Turn a measured post length or tissue depth into a recommended barbell or labret size — with a healing swelling allowance for fresh piercings and a snug fit once healed
Piercing Healing Time Estimator
Look up the typical healing range for a placement — earlobe to cartilage, navel to nipple — plus how long to keep up aftercare and when a downsize is usually due
Gauge Stretching Planner
Plan a safe stretch from your current gauge to a target size, one step at a time, with the recommended wait between sizes and the earliest week you should reach each one
Aftercare Schedule Builder
Enter your piercing date and type to get a saline-and-cleaning timeline — soak cadence, when to ease off, a likely downsizing week, and an estimated fully-healed date
Ring Diameter Calculator
Work out a captive or seamless ring's internal diameter, circumference, and a comfortable fit from a wearable measurement — in millimetres and inches, both ways
Body Adornment Museum
Step into an illustrated museum of piercing and adornment — the piercings people have worn across cultures, the jewelry and precious materials shaped to fill them, the traditions that gave them meaning, and the metals and craft behind body jewelry, each in its own gallery. Get to know the long human story behind the piercing in the mirror.
