Do you have to have a big needle to get a big hole for your Monroe piercing?
Whenever you go in for a Monroe piercing, the piercer will take a needle, usually either a 18-16 gauge, and pierce your lip with that. It doesn't leave a big hole at all. But, if you want to gauge your Monroe, then you could have the piercer pierce with a bigger gauged needle, or just gauge it out yourself.
What needle has the smallest gauge?
The smallest gauge needle that I'm aware of is 22g. But no one will pierce you with anything less than 20g, and that's usually in the nose. But, the standard size piercing needle is around 16-12g, but you can make a request to be pierced at a larger gauge, if there's sufficient flesh for it to go through.

Is a 20-gauge needle larger than an 18-gauge needle?
No, a 20-gauge needle is smaller than an 18-gauge needle. The gauge number indicates the diameter of the needle, with a lower gauge number signifying a larger diameter. Therefore, an 18-gauge needle is thicker and has a larger bore compared to a 20-gauge needle.
Can you pierce a tongue with a 16 gauge needle and a 14 gauge piercing?
It's not recommended to pierce your tongue yourself as it can lead to complications like excessive bleeding, infection, or nerve damage. It's best to go to a professional piercer who will have the proper tools and expertise to safely perform the piercing. Typically, a 14 gauge needle is used to pierce the tongue for a standard tongue piercing.
What gauge needle is the next biggest gauge to a 21 size?
The next biggest gauge needle to a 21-gauge is a 20-gauge needle. In the gauge system, a lower number indicates a larger diameter, so as the gauge number decreases, the needle size increases. Therefore, a 20-gauge needle is thicker than a 21-gauge needle.
Is a 30 gauge needle smaller then a 31 gauge?
Yes, a 30 gauge needle is larger than a 31 gauge needle. In the gauge system, a higher number indicates a smaller diameter, so a 31 gauge needle is thinner than a 30 gauge needle. Therefore, the 31 gauge needle would be the smaller of the two.

Is a 23 or 25 gauge needle smaller?
A 25-gauge needle is smaller in diameter than a 23-gauge needle. The larger the gauge number, the thinner the needle, so a 25-gauge needle has a smaller lumen compared to a 23-gauge needle. This means that for tasks requiring finer needles, such as pediatric or cosmetic procedures, a 25-gauge needle would be preferred.
What gauge needle to use for 14g belly ring?
You answered your own question. If the jewelry is 14ga, the needle should be 14ga too. I should say though, you don't want to pierce your bellybutton yourself. Its a surface piercing and if you screw it up and it gets infected, you could be left with serious scarring and/or the infection could spread. It would be a better and safer idea to go a professional to get it done
