A normal earring is 18 gauge. I'm not sure of the mm..
The size gauge that can be compared to tat of a pencil is a 4 gauge.
A 0 GAUGE IS THE SIZE OF A DIME
18 gauge is the next smallest from 16 gauge. Size runs from highest number being the smallest gauge to lower numbers being the larger gauge. IE: 18g 16g 14g 12g 10g
In a shotgun shell, it tells the number of round pellets that combine to make a linear inch.
if you can fit a 16 gauge plus 4 20 gauges your probably at around an 8 gauge but not nessesarely if you can put 4 20 gauges in your at a 14 gauge
Most earlobe piercings are around 20 gauge to 18 gauge. The average stud earrings are size 20 gauge.
the average size is a 14 gauge
No! Check with the piercer to see what gauge ur lip bar is .... mine is 16g
0 gauge is the largest.
Either by the gauge size or using millimeters.
No. The common, plain old, earring size is almost always 22 Gauge. 16 Gauge is just a bit smaller than the common piercing size of 14 Gauge. The size chart goes down in increments of two from 22 usually down into the negatives of 00 gauge, and then breaks down into diameters.
Simply remove your jewelry and leave the piercing empty. There is no guarantee that it will fully close, but as long as you are at a "regular" (18-20 gauge, standard post type earring size) or smaller gauge (4-16 gauge) it should shrink enough to go unnoticed.
Iv had my streached for nearly 4 years now and im at a 14mm gauge. I did manage to strink it back down to normal from an 8mm but it did take a few months or so, but i no people that have gone over 10mm and they have returned back to 4-5mm. But it really depends on how elestic your earlobes are and skin.
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
it is more sensitive small gauge size low hysteresis
Not all at once! Get some Tapers, and don't stretch it more than a size every 2 weeks, to avoid tearing and give it a little time to heal.
Cartilage never heals, at least not entirely, so the answer is subjective. The skin will close back up if the hole is small enough to begin with (22 Gauge is the basic earring post size), but the cartilage will retain it's fistula underneath.
