Depends on the piercer. Usually 16ga or 14ga. Some piercers won't pierce anything under 14ga though. If you have it pierced already, you can just measure the jewelry. 16ga is 1.2mm and 14ga is 1.6mm.

Can you get your lip pierced with an eighteen gauge stud?

Gee I wish people would learn the terminology before they ask questions, we don't pierce anything with "studs" they are called "barbells", they can be bent or straight curved or circular. The phrase "stud" is a rude phrase to describe an ear piercing "stud" which is never used in professional body piercing. Now as for your lip, yes it can be pierced with an 18g barbell be it straight or curved.


When you get your lip pierced do you have to bring your own piercing?

When I got my lip pierced, they already had the jewelry with them, because they have to use a special, longer stud to accomodate swelling. Perhaps if you brought you're own ball(s), they would screw those onto the stud instead of the regular ones.


Can you put a small stud in when you get your medusa pierced?

All initial lip piercings have to have a titanium 1.2 x 10 mm stud ( it's about the size of a small pea) then after two weeks the piercer should change it to a smaller stud or gem depending on swelling and healing :D


Does a belly button piercing hurt more then a lip piercing?

I have both my lip and belly button pierced. I had my belly button pierced with a hoop and my lip pierced with a bar/stud. The belly button was more irritating then the lip because a hoop piercing requires the piercer to clamp it shut and fiddle around with a new pierced part instead of just screwing a ball on. I recommend any new piercings to be with a bar/stud as it is quicker and less irritating. Put it this way, I'm going for a 2nd lip piercing and not another belly button piercing ;)


When getting your lip pierced do you have to provide your own ring?

Ok, i got my lip peirced about a month ago. They provide you with a lip ring. They usually ask if you want a hoop or a stud. I have a hoop because it heals faster. So no you do not have to supply a lip ring. But when you want it changed to a different lip ring you do. Hope that helped!


What is worse a stud or a ring for a lip piercing?

Depends which part of your lip but they usually say stud at first because of the swelling but they usually ask if you wanted a ring when healed.


When you get your lip pierced and after it heals you want to change the stud What is the best size to use?

The jewellery for piercings isn't something you buy off the shelf, the piercing needs to be measured and size according to what you were pierced with and where the piercing is at with the healing. You need to see a professional body piercer to get the appropriate jewellery for your piercing.


When can you change the stud for a smaller one after you get your lip pierced?

Usually a week ( 7 days ) or longer (14 days), it is important that the swelling has settled, if not wait a bit longer. If the stud is too short it can damage the piercing if for some reason the piercing swells up again.
