Are 16 gauge needles the same size as 16 gauge piercing?
yes
What gauge hoop do they use to pierce your lip?
A 16 gauge or 14 gauge are the most common for lip piercings.
How can you get your lip from a 16 gauge to a 14 gauge 16 gauge is smaller than 14 gauge right?
16 gauge is smaller than a 14 gauge. You can buy a stretcher and stretch the hole.
If you pierce your lip at home and you only have an 18 gauge does it hurt to gauge your lip into a 14 gauge?
Um, yes. Anytime you stretch a piercing it will hurt. Wait until it heals fully. Or, you can buy hollow needles, the kind used to tag cattle..(they are sterile) which is better. You shouldn't even do it yourself it could become infected.
If you have an 18 gauge for a lip piercing when you switch it out can you use a 16 gauge instead?
Yes, but you would be streching the hole, like people stretch their ears.
What is the next step from 16 in a lip piercing?
14 (larger). Of course no one would get a lip ring at only 18 gauge. For my first lip ring, the guy told me that that (14) was the standard size, but I opted for 16 instead, because 14 looked too thick for my little lip! So now it's hard for me to find lip jewelry (labrets, anyway), since they're all 14. However, maybe that guy was just stupid and 16 is "normal" for lips too. My current piercer certainly didn't find anything odd about me saying I wanted a 16 gauge for both my lip and septum piercings that he did for me, but lots of people do have thicker (14 gauge) jewelry in their lips and septums.
How big are lip piercing needles?

What are the 10 qauge needles?
Gauge is a measure of how large the opening of the needle is. The larger the number the smaller the hole. Most venipuncture is done with a 16-24 gauge needle, depending on the size of the patient and the location of the vein. A 10 gauge needle would be huge.
