Generally the size is 18g~16g for female lip piercing, this depends on the jewellery type and style desired. 16g~14g for male lip piercing, this can again vary depending on the style and design of the jewellery.

Piercing your lip by yourself is it safe to use ice?

You should not self-pierce your lip as it requires proper technique, proper equipment, and also you need to keep everything sanitary. But if you have already done this by yourself then I would say that you can use ice because using ice is considered the best method for healing lip piercing. You can place an ice pack directly on the swollen area for some time and repeat this for a couple of times to get rid of the swelling. If you are facing any kind of major issue then you must consult a professional without wasting any time.
