A 16 gauge lip ring is approximately 1.2 mm in diameter. Gauge sizes are a measurement of wire thickness, and in this case, a 16 gauge corresponds to that specific measurement in millimeters.

What gauge hoop do they use to pierce your lip?

A 16 gauge or 14 gauge are the most common for lip piercings.


What is the next step from 16 in a lip piercing?

14 (larger). Of course no one would get a lip ring at only 18 gauge. For my first lip ring, the guy told me that that (14) was the standard size, but I opted for 16 instead, because 14 looked too thick for my little lip! So now it's hard for me to find lip jewelry (labrets, anyway), since they're all 14. However, maybe that guy was just stupid and 16 is "normal" for lips too. My current piercer certainly didn't find anything odd about me saying I wanted a 16 gauge for both my lip and septum piercings that he did for me, but lots of people do have thicker (14 gauge) jewelry in their lips and septums.

How do you stretch a lip for a 16 gauge lip piercing?

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.
