Hi, body jewelry is measured in two ways-the thickness (gauge) and the size of the wearable area. The high the gauge, the thinner the jewelry. A typical tongue barbell is 14 gauge, 5/8". The 5/8" refers to the length of the shaft that actually goes through the tongue.

The term "surgical steel" is for the most part a little bit of a misnomer. Body jewelry is classified as "implant grade steel", but in any event, there isn't a lot of difference between the two other than the fact that implant grade steel will never break down and corrode in the body as stainless can do over time. Rarely body jewelry is made of stainless steel, but plugs for ears are sometimes made of it.

When talking of body jewelry and piercing, gauge refers to the size of the body jewelry being used. To be specific, gauge size determines the thickness or the width of the jewelry. That portion of the body jewelry, which actually goes inside your skin, is measured in gauge size. For instance, if you were using a barbell for a piercing, then the gauge size would not be the measure of the two balls at the ends of the barbell, but would indicate the thickness of the bar in between the two balls. As the number of the gauge size goes higher, the thickness of the jewelry becomes lesser. Hence, a barbell of gauge size 12 would be thinner than one that was a gauge size 10. 16 gauge size jewelry is considered to be ideal for new piercings. The thicker your jewelry gets, the lower the gauge size will become. Gauge size �0� and �00� are the thickest (00 being thicker than 0). Once some piece of body jewelry exceeds this thickness, it is no longer measured in gauge size but in fractions and full inches. Gauge is particularly important for ear stretching body jewellery. Smaller gauges go up in parts of milimetres (e.g. 1.6mm, 2.0mm, 2.4mm, 3.2mm) and then go up in whole mm's from 4.0mm to 8.0mm. There is then usually a jump to 10mm, then 12, 14, 16, 19 and so on. Expanders are used to increase the gauge of a stretched piercing gradually. PTFE tape can also be used to increase the size of a piece of jewellery gradually.
