What size are nose rings pierced with?
Nose piercing is usually done with an 18 gauge (1.02mm) post. After a nose piercing heals, most people switch to a 20 gauge (. 81mm) post because it is thinner and leaves a smaller hole. A post thinner than 20 gauge is not recommended for most nose piercings.
Is a 20 or 22 gauge nose ring bigger?
20 Gauge is thinner than 18G and is the standard most popular size. If you are unsure this would be your best choice. 22 Gauge is the thinnest size post and perfect for those who normally wear silver nose jewelry, from jewelry stores such as Claires (the majority of their silver nose jewelry comes in thinner gauges).
