How to Insert Your Internally Threaded Flatback

Our flatback earrings are internally threaded, meaning the decorative front screws securely into the post for a comfortable, long-lasting fit.

  1. Insert the flatback post through your piercing from the back of your ear.
  2. Hold the post in place. We recommend using one of our Insertion Tapers to make this much easier, especially for cartilage piercings.
  3. Attach the front by gently screwing it into the post clockwise until secure. Do not overtighten.
  4. If your front charm is larger, our Flatback Grabber Tool can help you hold and tighten it.
  5. For smaller fronts, we recommend using a small piece of Blu Tack on the front to help grip it while screwing it into place.

Tip: If you're fitting your jewellery for the first time, take your time and use a mirror in good lighting. Once secured, your flatback is designed to stay comfortably in place for everyday wear.
