Most studs are either 20ga or 18ga. Piercing shops will most likely pierce them at 16ga. Its perfectly fine to wear smaller gauge jewelry than what the piercing was done at.

Is there difference in punch size in blanking and piercing?

Whether it is blanking or piercing, size of opening in sheet is governed by punch and size of cutout piece is governed by Die. So, for piercing, Punch size should be same as required hole size and clearance should be given on Die. For e.g for a hole size Dia 8, punch size should Be 8mm and die size 8 + clearance For Blanking, DIe size should be same as size of blank and clearance should be give on punch. So for a blank of Dia 8, die size is of 8mm and punch size is 8 - clearance.

Yes, they technically will, depending on the faux plug that you get. Some Faux plugs are actually bigger than the mm of regular earrings. So yes, in a way faux plugs will stretch your ear lobes, will they stretch them any size that will prevent you from still having normal ear lobes? No, most faux plugs, if they are larger than a regular mm piercing, are less than 14g.


Is a house-shaped pentagon a regular pentagon?

No. A regular polygon has all sides the same length and all angles the same size. A regular pentagon has 5 angles each 108 degrees. A house-shaped pentagon does not have all angles the same size, so therefore it cannot be regular.
