If you got it gunned, its either a 20ga or 18ga. If you got it done by an actual piercer, its probably 16ga. Take the initial jewelry measure it. Look up a mm to gauge conversion chart and see what it is :)
Use a taper or have a shop taper it out.
A 0 GAUGE IS THE SIZE OF A DIME
haha.. one determined week
It most likely will close to a normal hole, but if the piercing was stretched to quickly it may not 100% (due to the fiberous nature of scar tissue)
Same as getting the first lobe piercing done. It varies from person to person but generally, lobes aren't too bad :)
18 Gauge
Normal ear piercings are 18 gauge.
Probably about the same, but 10ga is huge for ear piercing.
18-16 Gauge
"0" is 8mm
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.
For a standard nostril piercing, 18 g.
18g is the standard nostril piercing gauge. 20g is too fine and too much like wearing a knife in your piercing should it get caught or snagged.
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 :)
Well there actually is no such thing as an ear gauge. However there is such a thing as a jewellery gauge which is the thickness of the of the jewellery based on either Millimeters or AWG (American Wire Gauge as used in the professional body piercing industry.
20g. But that's a regular ear piercing size. So you'll move up to 18g.
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
