Flatback Studs

A flatback stud has your design on the front and a flat disc on the back instead of a butterfly. Nothing digs into your neck or catches in your hair, so they sit flush and stay comfortable all day. Every OSCO stud comes with a flatback post so it's ready to wear straight out of the box.

Pretty much all of them. Lobes, upper lobes, helix, flat, conch and tragus piercings all suit a flatback stud. If you're not sure which post length you need, get in touch and the team will point you in the right direction.

Yes. Our studs are made from implant-grade titanium, the same metal most piercers trust for fresh piercings. It's lightweight and kind to skin, which makes it a good shout if regular earrings leave your ears sore or itchy.

That's one of the best things about them. The flat back lies against your skin so there's no sharp point pressing into your head on the pillow. They're just as easy to live with under headphones, helmets and hats.

Flatbacks are a go-to for new piercings because they sit close and don't move around much. Always get a fresh piercing done by a professional and wait until it's fully healed before changing your jewellery. Our piercing healing times guide breaks down how long each one takes.

Start with one statement stud and build around it. Mix gold and silver, add a crystal piece next to something minimal or swap your back for a heart-shaped one from our flatback posts. Finish the look with charms and chains or a pair of clickers.
