Rose gold labret studs are flat back titanium studs coated in PVD rose gold, made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium. Flat back labret studs have a disc-shaped backing that sits flush against the inside of the piercing, reducing the risk of irritation from the back of the jewellery pressing against soft tissue.
Flat back labret studs are used across a wide range of piercing locations including the labret, medusa, monroe, madonna, helix, conch, nostril, tragus, and lobe. The flat back design is particularly recommended by many piercers for ear cartilage piercings, as it minimises pressure on the piercing during sleep.
Standard gauges for labret studs are 16G (1.2mm) and 18G (1.0mm). Stud lengths typically range from 6mm to 12mm. The top (externally visible) component can be swapped on threadless styles, allowing different end designs to be used on the same post.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flat back labret stud?
A flat back labret stud consists of a straight post with a flat disc at one end (the back, which sits against the skin inside the piercing) and a decorative top at the other end. The flat disc is more comfortable than a standard ball back for many wearers, particularly in cartilage piercings.
What gauge are labret studs?
Labret studs are most commonly available in 16G (1.2mm) and 18G (1.0mm). The correct gauge depends on the gauge used when the piercing was performed.
Can flat back labret studs be used for helix piercings?
Yes. Flat back labret studs are widely used in helix piercings. The flat back reduces discomfort when lying on the ear and many piercers recommend this style specifically for ear cartilage work.
Are rose gold labret studs nickel-free?
Rose gold PVD-coated ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium labret studs are nickel-free. The PVD process deposits rose gold colour without the alloy components (such as copper and nickel) present in traditional rose gold jewellery.
