Also to know is, what’s the highest gauge you can pierce your ear with?
Typical ear piercings, from a piercing gun, are a small gauge, such as 20. Professional piercings, done with a sterile needle by a piercer, start as small as 18 gauge and can be pierced as large as 0 gauge.
Just so, what do ear gauges symbolize? Both men and women are pierced at an early age and brass weights are hung to stretch the ears. Those in the tribe with long stretched lobes are well respected. The longer the ears were stretched, the more revered a person would become to the tribe.
