Gauges

well im thinking about getting gauges in the next year or two.I dont want really big ones,but I dont know exactly what size I want..I know that the smaller the number,the bigger the size...can anybody give me any other information on them? and if you...

could show me a website or something showing a picture of some different gauge sizes in actual ears that would be nice to.

You are right: the smaller the number the bigger the size.
A regular ear piercing is a twenty gauge. Average bellybutton rings are a fourteen..
Just google that shiit. It'll tell you..

heres a chart of the sizes

I don't have a recent pic (I'm at an inch and a half), but my default shows what an inch and an eighth looks like.
