No. The common, plain old, earring size is almost always 22 Gauge. 16 Gauge is just a bit smaller than the common piercing size of 14 Gauge. The size chart goes down in increments of two from 22 usually down into the negatives of 00 gauge, and then breaks down into diameters.

How do you get a 16 gauge earring in a 18 gauge piercing?

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.
