Deduct 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) from your total measurement to get the actual size of your gauge. You may need to change the fraction in your measurement to subtract the 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm). For example, if your piercing is 7⁄16 in (1.1 cm), subtract 2⁄16 in (0.32 cm) instead of 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) to get 5⁄16 in (0.79 cm).
