Yes it is smaller in terms of diameter.
Explanation:
25 gauge refers to a needle having an inner diameter of 1/25" (1/25 inches) and 22 gauge refers to a needle having an inner diameter of 1/22" (1/22 inches).
Thus the 25 gauge needle has a smaller inner diameter than a 22 gauge needle.

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.

UK wire gauge - the higher the number the thinner the wire. So 25 would be thinner than 22.
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.
What needle gauge is used on the typical patient for a chemistry profile?
Depends how it is drawn- Butterfly or straight stick 19 g and 21 G are the normal straight stick. If you use a buterfly to draw the lab then they are ususally 21 or 23 Gauge. (Remember the bigger the gauge number the smaller the needle width). The smaller the needle width the higher the chance of hemolization (cell squishing)

Can you use 27 gauge needle for testosterone?
Yes, I do so weekly. Use a 22 or 23 gauge needle to draw the test, then switch to the 27 gauge 1.25 inch needle. I heart the loaded syringe on a heating pad for about 10 minutes to loosen up the oil, then inject. Much less pain than a larger needle.
