Is a 22 gauge smaller than a 23 gauge needle?
Gauge is the term that indicates the diameter of the needle. Most commonly the needles that are used for medical purposed range from 7 Gauge to 33 Gauge, according to the Stubs scale. 7 Gauge needle will have the largest diameter while as the number increase, the diameter decreases. Therefore the 33 Gauge needle has the smallest diameter. So a 26 Gauge needle will have a smaller diameter than that of the 18 Gauge needle.

The 20G catheter includes a needle inside it to guide and be able to penetrate the skin and vessel wall, if it´s inside it then its a little smaller than 20G but there´s is also many types of 20G catheters, some better quality than others. The gauge only refers to the diameter, the length also plays a part.
Can you pierce your eyebrow with a 22-23 gauge needle for a 18gauage hoopring?
I wouldn't recommend it. 22 gauge is smaller than 18. The smaller the number, the larger the ring/needle. If you use an 18 gauge needle and then put a threaded 18 gauge ring in, you are likely to have more pain. I would use a 16 gauge needle and then put the 18 gauge ring. The threads won't tear the new flesh, and you're less likely to chicken out because it hurts. Remember to push the needle through with the jewelry, because if you take the needle out, you'll lose the hole before the jewelry goes through. But then again, you really ought to go to a professional.
