Thickness describes the shaft that passes through the piercing channel. Length is measured along the wearable part of the bar between the two ends. A 14 mm bar is therefore not the same measurement as a 14g gauge, so always convert gauge figures carefully before comparing sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour own anatomy and established placement decide which length is suitable.
