If you have a normal ear piercing what size gauge do you go to?

There is no standard size. A smaller one is 16 gauge. 10 gauge is larger, but less likely to be ripped out. (ouch) Smaller gauge is riskier when it comes to accidentally catching them on something and hurting yourself.

i went from a normal earing to an eight guage,it hurts a litle bit but you wan to get your guage size smler wic that means the gauge is biger as quik as you can but not to quick ,and dont shove it very fast becuase yo can blow your ear out,the skin wil pus to the back of the earhole and stay
