Can you pierce your eyebrow with a 22-23 gauge needle for a 18gauage hoopring?
I wouldn't recommend it. 22 gauge is smaller than 18. The smaller the number, the larger the ring/needle. If you use an 18 gauge needle and then put a threaded 18 gauge ring in, you are likely to have more pain. I would use a 16 gauge needle and then put the 18 gauge ring. The threads won't tear the new flesh, and you're less likely to chicken out because it hurts. Remember to push the needle through with the jewelry, because if you take the needle out, you'll lose the hole before the jewelry goes through. But then again, you really ought to go to a professional.

Yes, use the thinnest (highest #) gauge needle possible, 30+ gauge with a 3/8" tip most likely. Technique is everything, make sure to register on the first hit. The veins in your hands are fragile & if you mess them up it'll be obvious what's going on...
