14's are pretty much standard for all piercings, but I would recommend a dermal punch with actually removes the tissue reducing other risks. If you plan on stretching punch it at the gauge you want to stretch to if not then you can have them punch it in any gauge you like. Never use anything below a 14 for migration and rejection reasons. I wouldn't really recommend a 14 either, but it is your choice.

Is bleeding during cartilage piercing normal?

A little bleeding is to be expected with cartilage piercings, the incision in the cartilage needs to be larger than the jewellery gauge going into the piercing, this is to allow the skin to heal between the jewellery and the cartilage. Excessive bleeding is an indication your piercer didn't candle the cartilage before doing the piercing to see where the veins are located on both sides of the cartilage.
