What is a 23-gauge needle use for?
18 gauge needles can be used for any piercing as long as you ask for it. Most standard piercings are pierced at either 14 or 16 gauge. Personally, I asked for my septum to be pierced at an 18 gauge so the jewelry wasn't as bulky and was easier to hide. Just keep in mind that if you get anything pierced with an 18 gauge needle, you need 18 gauge jewelry. Trying to shove standard size jewelry into it (especially if it isn't fully healed) could cause irritation, infection, or rejection.

Can you use a 23 gauge needle for a flu shot?
It could be used as long as the needle length is approximately 1 1/2 inches long so that it reaches the muscle tissue. The flu vaccine injections are given IM (intramuscularly) except if it is the new intradermal type of vaccine, which has its own delivery system with a very tiny needle injected into the layers of skin. The typically sized needle for IM administration of medication is a 22-25 gauge, 1 1/2 inch IM needle. 23 gauge is slightly larger around than a 25 gauge, so it is possible you could feel it slightly more when inserted. A 23 gauge needle has an outer diameter of 0.02525 inches. A 25 gauge needle has an outer diameter of 0.02025 inches. As long as you are able to correctly measure the proper dosage, it could be used.
