For those seeking the best fit, 5/16″ (8mm) and 3/8″ (10 mm) are generally the most popular sizes. As with length, those with a smaller nostril or lower piercing, a smaller diameter would work well. Those with a larger nostril or a higher piercing, a larger diameter needs to be chosen.
Moreover, what does mm mean in nose rings?
The gauge of your nose ring refers to how thick the metal is. Remember, smaller numbers are always thicker. For example, a 22 gauge (0.64mm) nose hoop is thinner than an 18 gauge (1.0mm) nose hoop.
Accordingly, what is the smallest mm nose ring?
1mm-1.5mm
Can you wear a 20G nose ring?
The nose piercing is one of the fastest and most adaptable piercing, meaning that it will adapt to whichever size gauge you put in it. So if you have a 18 gauge piercing you can wear 20G nose studs, nose screws or nose rings as well and your piercing will adapt very quickly.
How can I make my nose ring thicker?
You could really mess up your nose if you do. You need to go to a piercer for this. The process is very simple: a taper the thickness of your current piercing hole on one end, and a size up on the other, will be lubricated and gently pushed through the piercing, stretching the hole bigger.
