Best Answer

The size varies from person to person and is based on position and lip size of the person getting the piercing. Your professional body piercer will size the jewellery accordingly to allow for swelling and proper cleaning of the piercing. Incidents of MRSA infections are on the rise, please leave body piercing to an experienced professional body piercer working in a licensed and inspected facility.
