What gauge is my piercing jewelry.
Tongue ring gauge sizes.
Most starter piercings are usually either 14 or 16 gauge although some may go as large as 12 or as small as 18.
2pcs stainless steel stud barbell tongue rings 14 gauge 6mm ball nipple bars piercing jewelry see more sizes.
So a 12 gauge or 12g barbell is much thicker than a 20 gauge 20g barbell.
We have everything you might need.
Unless you request something different most piercers have a standard size they prefer to use for starter jewelry.
Technically you can wear a straight barbell in any gauge in a tongue piercing but 14g is the standard size for tongue rings.
Our tongue rings start at a size 18g and move to a 00g for your comfort.
The initial barbell is longer to allow room for swelling and aid in the healing process.
In other words it s the barbell s thickness.
That way the fistula hole where you were pierced will have time to thicken and strengthen which will make it easier to insert a barbell in a larger size later.
Note that the thicker the barbell the lower the gauge size.
The gauge size of your piercing is the thickness of the bar that goes through your piercing.
