Normally, a navel should be pierced with a 16 gauge needle. mine, and all my friends were done with a 14g
Typically 16 or 14g
14g
Mr. Kaulitz's looks to be about a 14g
The eye brow ring is the appropriate size and gauge for the eye brow it's going into, navel rings and sized for the navel they are going into. You should see a professional body piercer and quit messing around before you hurt yourself.
The standard size for naval piercing is 14g with a 7/16", 5/8", or 3/8" length.
Ditch the safety pin. Go on eBay, buy a 14g piercing needle that's been packaged in a pouch and sterilized, and do it in one poke.
12g is 12/14, or 6/7, of 14g.
Actually it's based on the lip size of the person requesting the piercing. Now there are recommended gauges* (*this is the thickness of the ring) generally 16G or 18G for women and 14G or 16G for men.
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.
14g
Sure take the 12g barbell out for about a week maybe two then put a 14g barbell in the piercing, it should have shrunk by that time.
