Generally 14g / 16g. 18g is the smallest size that you can use once your septum is healed, I heard that anything smaller than 18g can cause the “cheese cutter” effect.
Furthermore, can you pierce your septum with a small ring?
Yes you sure can. Keep in mind a captive bead ring needs to be bent in order to accommodate it into the freshly pierced hole, which means it needs to be bent back to shape. It can hurt more than getting just a horseshoe, but it is definitely possible to get it right away.
In this regard, what nose shape is best for a septum piercing?
Septum Piercing
This piercing type goes through the narrow strip of skin on the septum just before the cartilage starts. It works best on noses with wider septums, as more narrow septums may not provide much of a surface area for the piercing.
Can I put a 14g in a 16g septum piercing?
Yes you can. The jewellery won’t be very snug, though, and might move around a lot. Having said that, the whole will probably close up a bit around the smaller gauge jewellery so you might not be able to wear 14g there any more. … So I used this 2mm diameter needle for a piercing with a 16g jewellery.
Can you put a 16g in a 14g piercing?
Yes all day you can. However, the 16g post is thinner than the 14g. Downsizing is not an issue unless you‘ve got a large collection of 14g jewelry that you wish to wear again. Downsizing to 16g is safe as long as it is healed.
