CONNECTION & COMPATIBILITY

For Threadless Posts:

This post is designed for use with compatible threadless decorative ends. A threadless end has a small pin that inserts into the hollow post and is held securely through tension.

Not every end and post from every manufacturer is guaranteed to be interchangeable. Always verify compatibility before ordering.

UNDERSTANDING WEARABLE LENGTH

Wearable length is the portion of the post that sits inside your piercing.

It is measured from the inside surface of the flatback disc to the point where the decorative end rests against the opposite side of the piercing.

A post that is too short can create pressure on the tissue, while an unnecessarily long post can allow excessive movement, snagging, and irritation.

Even two people with the same type of piercing may require completely different post lengths.

WHERE CAN I WEAR IT?

Depending on gauge, length, anatomy, placement, and the decorative end being used, flatback labret posts are commonly worn in piercings such as:

Lobes • Helix • Flat • Conch • Tragus • Forward Helix • Nostril • Labret and Other Appropriate Placements

These are placement suggestions only and do not guarantee fit.

Your anatomy, piercing placement, angle, gauge, stage of healing, and decorative end all influence the size and style of jewelry you need.

FRESH PIERCING FRIENDLY?

YES — WHEN PROFESSIONALLY SIZED AND APPROPRIATELY CONFIGURED

ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium is an appropriate material for initial piercing jewelry. However, material is only one part of choosing jewelry for a fresh piercing.

The post length, gauge, decorative end, placement, anatomy, and room required for initial swelling must also be appropriate.

If this jewelry is intended for a fresh or healing piercing, we recommend having it selected and installed by a professional piercer.

NEED A POST FOR A HEALED PIERCING?

A properly fitted post should allow your jewelry to sit comfortably without unnecessary excess length.

If you were pierced with a longer post to accommodate swelling, do not assume your original post length is the size you need now. Many piercings are downsized during healing once the initial swelling has subsided.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Body jewelry is not one-size-fits-all.

Before ordering, make sure you know:

• Your required gauge

• Your required wearable length

• Whether your decorative end is threadless or internally threaded

• Whether your chosen end is compatible with this post

If you're unsure of your size, please don't guess. Visit our Body Jewelry Sizing Guide or contact us before ordering.

For exact sizing, an in-person fitting with a professional piercer is always best.

GOOD TO KNOW

Professional body jewelry is typically sold as individual components so the correct post length can be paired with the decorative end of your choice.

That means you can often keep a properly fitted post in place and change compatible decorative ends when you're ready for a new look.

One post + one compatible decorative end = one complete flatback jewelry setup.

PLEASE NOTE

• This listing is for ONE flatback labret post.

• Decorative ends are sold separately unless otherwise stated.

• Jewelry is sold individually, not in pairs.

• Compatibility between different manufacturers is not guaranteed.

• Product images may be enlarged to show detail.

• Always refer to the listed gauge and wearable-length measurements.

• Never force jewelry or an incompatible end into a post.

• For health and safety reasons, body jewelry is final sale.
