What is the next step from 16 in a lip piercing?
14 (larger). Of course no one would get a lip ring at only 18 gauge. For my first lip ring, the guy told me that that (14) was the standard size, but I opted for 16 instead, because 14 looked too thick for my little lip! So now it's hard for me to find lip jewelry (labrets, anyway), since they're all 14. However, maybe that guy was just stupid and 16 is "normal" for lips too. My current piercer certainly didn't find anything odd about me saying I wanted a 16 gauge for both my lip and septum piercings that he did for me, but lots of people do have thicker (14 gauge) jewelry in their lips and septums.

What is the smallest gauge size for your lip?
Lip rings range in size from 20 gauge (the smallest) to 14 gauge (the largest). Sixteen-gauge is considered a "normal" size lip ring. The piercer will usually start with a lip ring that is slightly larger to accommodate the swelling that will naturally occur as a result of the piercing process. Once healing has occurred, the wearer can change the size of the lip ring to either a smaller or larger one.

If you pierce your lip at home and you only have an 18 gauge does it hurt to gauge your lip into a 14 gauge?
Um, yes. Anytime you stretch a piercing it will hurt. Wait until it heals fully. Or, you can buy hollow needles, the kind used to tag cattle..(they are sterile) which is better. You shouldn't even do it yourself it could become infected.
