14 Gauge Earrings Help With Your Piercings

All women need more information on earrings. Women that love earrings surprisingly do not know that much about the many different styles and brands. The most knowledgeable people about earrings are jewelers, and even some of them are not sure about 14 gauge earrings.

Its very trendy to wear pierced earrings with thick decorative posts and rings. Even if you have standard postings you can stretch your ear lobe holes using a process called gauging which would start with 14 gauge earrings.

14 gauge body jewelry is designed for small to medium piercings and can be used for many different sized piercings including the belly button, amphallang, clitoris hood, ear piercings, dydoe, eyebrow, labret, nipple, guiche, nose bridge, tongue piercing, and septum.

When you decide to size up youll need to be patient because it takes time. If you are careful youll be able to wear the new styles while still making sure your ears remain healthy.

The normal ear lobe piercing size is between 18 and 20 gauge. Gauge sizes go as low as 00 with the smaller the number the larger the gauge or the hole.

Most piercers will not start with a large gauge hole because it is almost impossible to go down in size if you should change your mind later. So most make you start smaller and then stretch for the larger sizes. Thats because resilient skin will actually shrink back if you decide later that you dont want the large gauge hole.

So how do you go about stretching your ear lobes? Well the first thing to remember is you need to gradually change the gauge allowing amble healing time in between the size changes. Too fast and youll land up with scar tissue from the damaged skin and that just looks plain ugly with cracking around the hole. It also means you wont be doing any more gauging.

Choose stainless steel or titanium rings or plugs....
