What do they use for industrial piercings and how do they do it?
For industrial piercings, a needle, usually 16 gauge, is used. The ear is marked so the piercer knows where to put the needle, and the needle goes through both pieces of cartilage. Then, the bar is inserted through the needle, the needle is removed, and the other end is screwed onto the ball. This video shows how its done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfPM-esijW

Can you use a 23 gauge needle for a flu shot?
It could be used as long as the needle length is approximately 1 1/2 inches long so that it reaches the muscle tissue. The flu vaccine injections are given IM (intramuscularly) except if it is the new intradermal type of vaccine, which has its own delivery system with a very tiny needle injected into the layers of skin. The typically sized needle for IM administration of medication is a 22-25 gauge, 1 1/2 inch IM needle. 23 gauge is slightly larger around than a 25 gauge, so it is possible you could feel it slightly more when inserted. A 23 gauge needle has an outer diameter of 0.02525 inches. A 25 gauge needle has an outer diameter of 0.02025 inches. As long as you are able to correctly measure the proper dosage, it could be used.
