What size industrial bar do I buy?

biohaiid

Hi, I've had an industrial for almost a year now.
I want to buy some bars online as I live nowhere near anywhere I can buy them.
But I'm confused as to what size/length I am meant to buy?
Any help out there?!

Measure the one you have if it's the size you want.

Go to a piercers and ask what gauge & length your industrial is.

You could measure it yourself but guessing the gauge could get you with a really tight or loose piercing.

The one I have is a little small.
This is probably a stupid question but do I just measure the bar or from the balls each end?
And like I said, I live nowhere near a piercing place.

Surely you go to a town once and awhile where there's a piercer, they're kinda common.

Measure the bar itself. Don't worry too much though..you can't really go too long.

The gauge is what matters .. if you get it too small it'll be loose(not much of an issue as the ear tends to tighten to it quick enough) ..but if you get a gauge that's too thick..well that'll be a sore squeeze ..)

Nearest is a 3 hour drive.
Hopefully I'll get out of here for a few days some time soon, but untill then I don't really know.
Okay, not a clue about the gauge really. I think I'll chance one or 2, not that expensive. And if they don't fit I'll just stock up when I go somewhere.

Thanks!
