Can I use a 14g barbell instead of a 16g?

DEAR ALLEY: One of my favorite piercings is a double nostril, and the one thing I'd love is that they're pretty much even and equal to each other. But I've been to two different piercers and they both of them managed to make it come out slightly uneven each time.

I just got it redone, and the piercer marked it in the perfect spot, but they pierced higher than what I thought they would. So my question is am I just being too picky in wanting (as close as possible) complete evenness, or should I just accept it and move on to new piercings?

Thanks,

Can I use a 14g barbell instead of a 16g?
DEAR ALLEY: I got an industrial piercing last week with a 16 gauge barbell. My question is, when it heals can I use a 14 gauge barbell? Because that is the only size I can find! Thanks!

ALLEY: Hi Lydia!

14g is pretty standard for industrial bars. We will occasionally see 16g industrial bars for people with anatomy that wouldn't allow for 14g bars. Maybe your ear has...
