In this manner, what are the gauge sizes for ears? Standard ear piercings are usually pierced at 20g or 18g. Gauge sizes go up (or down, depending on how you look at it) in even numbers from there, so the next largest size from an 18g is 16g, then 14g, then 12g, and so on. When you get to 0g, the next size is 00g (pronounced “double zero gauge”).
Also, how do you use 6g silicone tunnels?
How big is a 4 gauge piercing?

How do I know my gauge size?
Try sliding your jewelry into the opening to see if it fits.
If it fits perfectly and snuggly in the opening, you found the size! The gauge measurement is the number printed next to the cutout circle. Gauge wheels usually provide the measurement in the gauge size along with the millimeters or inches.
