First, make sure your ears are completely healed. You can cause a lot of damage if they're not. Second, most ear piercings are either 18 or 20 gauge [20 gauge is rarer] so a 14 or 16 gauge is usually a good place to start although it is recommended to go in order [18, 16, 14, 12, 10...etc.] instead of skipping sizes [18 to 14] Skipping smaller gauges is less dangerous than skipping larger gauges and can be very painful later on [6 to 2] and near impossible to do safely.
