Can you use belly button piercings for eyebrow piercings?

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).

Every piercing is different, just like people so there is no "normal" piercing size, besides it's hard to tell if you are asking about gauge or depth. Each piercing has a unique size and depth, if you are dealing with a professional body piercer they will handle you accordingly.
