What if your belly button piercing size is to small for your jewelry?
Well I would suggest going to your local professional body piercer and have your piercing stretched up with a taper (don't worry it doesn't hurt) , the average size or gauge is 14g . If your jewellery is 16g or smaller then it's too small for the piercing and can pose a danger of tearing the piercing (something you don't want to happen).

It's always good to buy body jewelry in person so you can see the size and quality. You can purchase from most piercing studios. Body Candy is a reputable site to buy body jewelry from if you prefer to buy online.
Lip piercing how do you know when it is healed?
Depending on the person and location of the piercing, it can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 6 months for a lip piercing to heal. After the first 2 weeks you can change the jewelry if no infection is present. Piercers use a 14 gauge needle when piercing, so you might want to down size to a 16 gauge. To test if your piercing is fully healed (this should only be done if there is no infection. Infections mean the wound is not healed), then try removing the jewelry for 5 minutes and put it back in. If you have no trouble putting the jewelry back in and the hole has not begun to close, then try leaving it out for 20 minutes. If the hole doesn't show signs of it closing, then gradually lengthen the time the jewelry is out. A fully healed lip piercing will stay pierced even after leaving the jewelry out for a few days. There will always be a small bit of discharge around your piercing. Healthy discharge will be white, not yellow or pus-like.
Does your lip piercing size shrink if you were to put in a smaller stud in?
Yes. When smaller jewelry is put into a piercing that was pierced at a larger gauge, the piercing will shrink slightly to accommodate it. However, you must be careful when shrinking piercings. If you put in a smaller stud or piece of jewelry then the hole size, it can sink inside of it. Lips are notorious for having small studs sink inside. Ask a piercer for advice when downsizing piercings to be sure that sinking doesnt happen. Sometimes just putting a bigger ball on the end of the stud will keep a smaller post in a piercing, so it doesnt sink.
