It is normal for a lobe piercing to be 16 or 18 gauge... but it is normally 18. A 16 gauge is normally used for tragus piercings :)
If you want to go from a 14st gauge to a 12st gauge, you need larger sizes needles.
For a standard nostril piercing, 18 g.
The standard starter size for a septum piercing is 14g.
Butterfly needles
A 14G tongue piercing is bigger than a 16G tongue piercing. The "G" stands for gauge, with a higher number indicating a smaller diameter. Therefore, a 14G piercing is thicker than a 16G piercing.
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.
This all depends on what size needle your piercing artist uses when performing the piercing. But after your piercing is healed, you can stretch the gauge size bigger to fit other jewelry. C:
a lot if u want to get size 10 gauge u should get the normal ear piercing size which is a size 20 or 18 gauge and slowly gauge it to a size 10 gauge
Safety needles will be 22g or less. Butterfly needles will be 21g or less.
It depends on the person most of the time a piercing that is stretched to a 0G will close to they original piercing size if you take the jewelery out.
Either 16ga or 14ga
