Assuming your lip was pierced at 18g and you want to stretch it to 16g, you must first wait the healing time suggested by your piercer. Then, wait a few more months and buy a piece of 16g jewelry and see if it will fit into your lip painlessly and without resistance. If it does, then you have stretched successfully! If not, wait another month and repeat.
Yes, but you would be streching the hole, like people stretch their ears.
You should use a taper. You can probably find these at a piercing studio. It is important to first stretch it to a 16 gauge, and then to a 14 gauge about a month later to prevent tearing.
16 gauge is smaller than a 14 gauge. You can buy a stretcher and stretch the hole.
Most piercings are pierced with a 16 gauge needle, but if you want to stretch it, I wouldn't go any larger than a 10.
yes
To fit a 16 gauge earring into an 18 gauge piercing, you'll need to stretch the piercing slowly and carefully using tapers or gradually increasing the size of the jewelry over time. It's important to allow enough healing time between stretches to prevent irritation or damage to the piercing. Consulting a professional piercer for guidance and assistance is recommended for this process.
A 16 gauge or 14 gauge are the most common for lip piercings.
Oh, dude, Tom Kaulitz has a labret piercing, which is a type of lip piercing that goes through the center of the bottom lip. It's like a little metal accessory that adds some edge to his look. So, yeah, that's the deal with his lip bling.
It is normal for a lobe piercing to be 16 or 18 gauge... but it is normally 18. A 16 gauge is normally used for tragus piercings :)
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.
18-16 Gauge
In Wisconsin, individuals under the age of 18 require written consent from a parent or legal guardian to get a lip piercing. Without parental consent, the legal age for a lip piercing in Wisconsin is 18.
