You answered your own question. If the jewelry is 14ga, the needle should be 14ga too. I should say though, you don't want to pierce your bellybutton yourself. Its a surface piercing and if you screw it up and it gets infected, you could be left with serious scarring and/or the infection could spread. It would be a better and safer idea to go a professional to get it done
Industrials are done at 14g not 16g. The piercing should be done with a 12g needle and 14g jewellery.
It depends on where you had it done, usually they are done at 14g but may be 16g.
Yes. You get it pierced with a 14g needle instead of an 18g
14 gauge is the standard (most commonly used) gauge for belly rings. The thickness of the post that goes through the piercing is measured as 1.6mm in the metric system.
Use a hollow point 14g needle. If you need to buy one, please go here www.myspace.com/cheapest_shop_round
Ditch the safety pin. Go on eBay, buy a 14g piercing needle that's been packaged in a pouch and sterilized, and do it in one poke.
Well actually a lot of difference 18g is the smallest gauge, then 16g is the next biggest gauge followed by 14g being the largest gauge normally used for oral piercings on a male. Female lip piercings are normally 18g or 16g, 14g is too large and looks silly in a female lip.
Normally, a navel should be pierced with a 16 gauge needle. mine, and all my friends were done with a 14g
Most piercings can be done with any size needle, but most common for a lip is anywhere between 18g and 10g. Most common is 16g or 14g, depending on the piercers preference.
The thickness of 14 gauge (14g) steel is approximately 1.6 millimeters.
Sure take the 12g barbell out for about a week maybe two then put a 14g barbell in the piercing, it should have shrunk by that time.
