What is the standard size? - January 16th 2011, 01:30 AM

Whats the standard gage of a lobe piercing?
What about a cartilage piercing?
Is it different depending on whether it was done with a gun or a needle?

For guns, the standard size for both piercings is 20g or 18g. With needles, the standard for the lobe piercing is the same but for cartilage piercings it's usually 16g.

All of my ear piercings (other than my rook) are 20g.




I've found the one who completes me.

Cartilage shouldnt be done with a gun, so ur looking at the larger size as it should be done with a needle!

Yeah I know I'm getting it done with a needle. I just wasn't sure what the sizes were.
