What gauge is a normal ear piercing?

Because for my helix, I have just a normal earring in it.. And I was looking at piercings and it’s all 16 gadge. soo I just wanted to know if they’ll fit? I really hope they do.. And I’m kinda worried about this.

Answer #1

It’s spelled gauge. Most regular earrings are 20g, sometimes 18g. If you put 16g in it, it will stretch. It’s not really all that painful it’ll just be a little sore. I have 16g monroe studs in my cartilledge & I have no problems whatso ever.
