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.
16 gauge standard steel has a thickness of 0.0598 inches. 16 gauge galvanized steel has a thickness of 0.0635 inches.

A standard (basic) ruler is broken down into 1/16 (short marks), 1/8 (longer mark), 3/16 (short mark), 1/4 (next longer than 1/8), 5/16 (short mark), 3/8 (same as the 1/8 mark), 7/16 ( same as the 1/16 short mark), 1/2 (the middle longest mark), 9/16 (same as the 1/16 short mark), 5/8 (same as the longer 1/8 mark), 11/16 (same as the short 1/16 mark), 3/4 (same as the 1/4 long mark), 13/16 (same as the short 1/16 mark), 7/8 (same as the 1/8 longer mark), 15/16 (same as the 1/16 short mark), and finally the 1 inch mark (the longest of all the marks). Then the process starts over again to the 2 inch mark, etc. 12 inches = 1 foot 3 foot = 1 yard
No. 8 quarts is the same as 16 pints.
I would just go back to the shop you had it pierced at and have them run a taper through it. It's usually free and it's much easier than trying to mess with that kind of stuff yourself. But definitely use a taper. You don't want to just stuff the bigger one through...
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 :)
Simply remove your jewelry and leave the piercing empty. There is no guarantee that it will fully close, but as long as you are at a "regular" (18-20 gauge, standard post type earring size) or smaller gauge (4-16 gauge) it should shrink enough to go unnoticed.
yes
Yes the stock on a Winchester Model 12 16 gauge is the same as a 20 gauge. 16 gauge,20 gauge, and 28 gauge are all the same for the Winchester Model 12. Thanks, Tim
There is no link on the page for this product. However the 16 Gauge 5/16 Inches -Solid 14KT White Gold 3mm Cubic Zirconia Earring Body Jewelry is safe for use anywhere on the ear including the tragus, cartilage and ear lobe.
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.
No
Some are 12 gauge, some are 16 gauge. The MX16 is a 12 gauge frame; same frame size for both gauges.
No. But it will work for tragus, labret, lip and monroe piercings.
Actually the shotgun uses 16 gauge shells i have the same shotgun
14 gauge is thicker than 16 gauge.
after you streach up to 00 the rest of the gauge sizes go to fractions and not regular numbers like 16g or 4g
