Need a shorter replacement post or a spare for your existing jewellery? This 16 Gauge Black Internally Threaded Flat Back Labret Post is crafted from 316L surgical steel with a Black PVD finish and is available in 6mm or 8mm lengths.

✨ Why You'll Love It

Replacement Post Only: Ideal for replacing a lost post or changing the length of compatible internally threaded jewellery without purchasing a completely new stud.

Choose 6mm or 8mm: Select the post length that best matches your existing jewellery, piercing placement and individual anatomy.

Internally Threaded Flat Back: The decorative end screws into the post, while the smooth flat backing creates a neat, low-profile finish behind the piercing.

💎 The Detail

A useful spare to keep in your jewellery collection, this black flat-back post allows you to reuse compatible internally threaded decorative ends while changing or replacing the post itself. The Black PVD finish makes it ideal for coordinating with existing black piercing jewellery.

Each replacement post is 16 gauge (1.2mm), crafted from 316L surgical steel with a Black PVD coating and available in either 6mm or 8mm lengths. Sold individually as the post only — decorative threaded ends are not included. Always check the gauge, thread compatibility and post length of your existing jewellery before ordering.

QUICK SIZING GUIDE
Quick Size Check

These are the measurements for this exact piece of jewellery. Compare them with jewellery that already fits you comfortably if you're unsure.

Gauge / Thickness 16G (1.2MM) The thickness of the jewellery that passes through your piercing.

Common Placements For This Size Helix • Tragus • Forward Helix • Flat • Conch • Lip / Labret • Monroe • Medusa Suitability also depends on the bar length, jewellery design, piercing position and your individual anatomy.
💡 Sizing Tip Gauge numbers work in reverse — the lower the gauge number, the thicker the jewellery.

Lightweight, durable and highly resistant to corrosion, titanium is our recommended choice for customers with sensitive skin or concerns about nickel sensitivity.

Durable everyday choice
IN THIS PIECE
Skin sensitivity Suitable for many
Best for Healed piercings
Everyday wear Very good
Care Easy care

Strong and resistant to everyday wear, 316L Surgical Steel is a popular choice for healed piercings. Surgical steel contains nickel, so titanium may be a better option if you have a known nickel sensitivity.

Brass
Detailed statement designs
Skin sensitivity Not for sensitive skin
Best for Fully healed
Everyday wear Occasional wear
Care Keep dry

Brass allows us to create intricate, decorative jewellery with more detailed finishes. It requires extra care and should be kept away from water, sweat, perfume and other chemicals.

A note about healing piercings

Material is only one part of choosing jewellery for a healing piercing. Gauge, length, threading, design and surface finish must also suit your anatomy.

If your piercing is still healing, speak to a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.

YOUR JEWELLERY CARE ROUTINE
Wear thoughtfully
Choose the right moments for your jewellery

Put your jewellery on after applying perfume, moisturiser, hairspray or other beauty products. Avoid unnecessary friction and prolonged exposure to moisture.

Protect from exposure
Water, sweat and everyday chemicals

Chlorine, seawater, sweat, perfume and household chemicals can gradually affect coated or plated finishes. Remove your jewellery before swimming and dry it promptly if it becomes wet.

Clean gently
Simple care without harsh products

Clean carefully with a soft cloth. If a deeper clean is needed, use a lightly dampened cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid polishing compounds, abrasive products and harsh chemical cleaners.

Avoid bleach, alcohol, abrasive cleaners and other harsh chemicals.

Store with care
Keep your jewellery clean, dry and protected

Store your jewellery somewhere clean and dry, ideally separately from other pieces to prevent scratches or tangling. The pouch provided with your order is perfect for keeping it protected.

Protecting your PVD finish

Apply perfume, moisturiser and hairspray before putting on your jewellery. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishing treatments and prolonged exposure to chlorine or seawater.

If your piercing is still healing

Jewellery care is different from piercing aftercare. If your piercing is new, irritated or still healing, speak to a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.
