Whenever you go in for a Monroe piercing, the piercer will take a needle, usually either a 18-16 gauge, and pierce your lip with that. It doesn't leave a big hole at all.

But, if you want to gauge your Monroe, then you could have the piercer pierce with a bigger gauged needle, or just gauge it out yourself.

Is it possible to re pierce a 14g hole without a 14 needle?

Re-piercing the same hole, especially with a big-bore needle, means there's a chance of running into some scar tissue. I'd have a pro do this instead of making a mess of it at home.

Why do you have to use a hollow needle for piercing?

ummm they use that because the piercing has to be big and has to stay open so you can have A BETTER HOLE FOR THE PIERCINGno, you idiot. i have quite a few piercing, 7 on one ear 8 on the other, nose, tongue, snake bites, navel(bellybutton) and hips.the needle must be hollow because then when they have pierced it, they put the bar of the jewellery in the end, and when they pull the needle the rest of the way through, the jewellery will go into the hole. all they must then do is screw on the ball.Technically both previous answers were correct (even the rude one). Due to the size and the fact that you are cutting the skin and leaving a precise hole a hollow needle is less traumatic than a sewing needle. The hollow end is also convenient as you can slip the piece of jewelery through the fresh hole as the needle exits. Your piercer should always be using a hollow needle, if you see a gun (even for ears) LEAVE!

Why does ear piercing hurt?

Ear Piercing hurts because they use a needle to make a hole in your ear but your nerves dont know that you want this done so they send signals to your brain telling your brain that something is inflicting damage upon you and your brain makes that part of you that is getting peirced send out signals which is pain. Obviously it shouldn't hurt if you get your ear numbed before peircing...

Can you pierce your own tongue web at home with a needle from a sewing kit?

Well I recommend not to do it because you could end up jabbing yourself since its in an awkward place ..but if you insist no I don't think that would be big enough ..to small to fit the jewelry in after ..and safety pins would only hurt like hell and leave a big hole ...piercing needles are much better..waiter go to a professional or look on amazon and get a piercing kit for only 15 or so :) goodluck
