As the numbers go up the size gets smaller. 14 IS thicker than 16. ALWAYS. The lower the number, the thicker the gauge so 16g is thinner than a 14g.
What is the normal size for an industrial piercing?
14 gauge
Can you put a 16g in a 14g piercing?
Yes, you can. A 16g jewelry is thinner than a 14g hole so it should go in fine as long as you're willing to downsize your piercing, possibly permanently.
Whats the difference between 16g and 14g piercing?
Since the industrial piercing goes through the ear cartilage, there is less possibility for stretching or "gauging" it as many people do with their bottom lobes. The difference between a 14G and 16G industrial barbell is a matter of . 013 inches, making them only slightly different.5 Dec 2018
