Everything You Need to Know About 00 Gauge Ear Piercing

Hey there, piercing enthusiasts! I’m Alex, a professional piercer with over a decade of experience in the art of body modification.

Today, we’re diving into the world of 00 gauge ears, exploring everything you need to know about this bold and beautiful piercing.

What is a 00 Gauge Ear Piercing?

A 00 gauge ear piercing is a large-diameter hole in the earlobe, typically measuring 10 millimeters (mm) in diameter.

This piercing is often associated with a stretched look, where the earlobe is gradually expanded over time to accommodate larger jewelry.

How Big is a 00 Gauge Ear Piercing?

As mentioned earlier, a 00 gauge ear piercing is 10mm in diameter. To put that into perspective, it’s about the size of a large marble or a dime.

It’s a noticeable piercing that makes a statement, but it’s not as extreme as some of the larger gauge piercings out there.

What is the Difference Between 0g and 00g Ears?

The terms “0g” and “00g” are often used interchangeably when referring to 00 gauge ear piercing. However, there is a slight difference between the two.

“0g” refers to the gauge size in grams, while “00g” refers to the gauge size in millimeters.

In this case, both “0g” and “00g” refer to the same size piercing, which is 10mm in diameter.

How Long Does it Take to Get to 00 Gauges?

Stretching your ears to 00 gauge is a gradual process that can take several months or even years.

The amount of time it takes will depend on your individual healing rate and how carefully you follow the aftercare instructions.

It’s important to be patient and not rush the process, as stretching your ears too quickly can lead to complications.

What Size Gauge is Best for Ears?

The best gauge size for ears depends on your personal preferences and anatomy.

If you’re new to stretching, it’s best to start with a smaller gauge, such as 16g or 14g, and gradually work your way up to larger gauges as your ears heal.

It’s important to consult with a professional piercer to determine the best gauge size for your ears.

Is 10MM the Same as 00 Gauges?

Yes, 10mm is the same as 00 gauges. The term “10mm” refers to the diameter of the piercing in millimeters, while “00 gauges” refers to the gauge size in millimeters. Both terms refer to the same size piercing.

Aftercare for 00 Gauge Ear Piercing

Proper aftercare is essential for ensuring a healthy and successful healing process. Here are some tips for caring for your 00 gauge ear piercing:

• Clean your piercings twice a day with a mild soap and water solution.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or antibacterial soaps, as these can irritate the piercing.
• Gently rotate your jewelry a few times a day to prevent it from sticking to your skin.
• Avoid sleeping on your piercings, as this can put pressure on the piercing and cause irritation.
• Be patient and allow your piercings to heal completely before changing your jewelry.

If you’re considering getting a 00 gauge ear piercing, consult with a professional piercer to discuss the procedure and aftercare instructions.
