16 gauge is smaller than a 14 gauge. You can buy a stretcher and stretch the hole.
A 16 gauge or 14 gauge are the most common for lip piercings.
ask your piercer Almost all piercings are done initially with a 14G. piece of jewelry. Anything smaller than that is ill advisable due to it's thinness, and anything fatter would look foolish in a lip.
Usualy, either a 16ga or 14ga. Some shops dont do anything smaller than 14ga though. You can measure the barbell to find out. The diameter for 16ga is 1.2mm and 14ga is 1.6mm.
Lip rings range in size from 20 gauge (the smallest) to 14 gauge (the largest). Sixteen-gauge is considered a "normal" size lip ring. The piercer will usually start with a lip ring that is slightly larger to accommodate the swelling that will naturally occur as a result of the piercing process. Once healing has occurred, the wearer can change the size of the lip ring to either a smaller or larger one.

14g is normal for a male lip piercing, 16g is normal for a female lip piercing.
Well, the average earring gauge is 18g and the average lip gauge is 14g-16g so I wouldn't suggest using an earring for your lip because it'd look pretty funny in my opinion.
The difference is that a lip balm's size is smaller than a glue stick's size. However, they are both 3D cylinders.
14g to 16g is normal for a male lip piercing, 16g to 18g is normal for a female lip piercing.
14
You should just make sure its surgical/ stainless steel and its the correct gauge for your lip.
Well actually a lot of difference 18g is the smallest gauge, then 16g is the next biggest gauge followed by 14g being the largest gauge normally used for oral piercings on a male. Female lip piercings are normally 18g or 16g, 14g is too large and looks silly in a female lip.
