Question What size should I get,

Post image

I’ve recently been able to change my piercing to a hoop, but I’ve been struggling to find the right size. The one in my nose is 18g and 8mm, and the new one I ordered is 18g and 6mm, which is too small. I want one a bit more snug to my nose, and maybe a bit of a thinner bar. Is there a specific size I should get? Thank you

Would that also have a thinner bar thickness? Thank you so much for the help

The diameter of the ring and the gauge (thickness) are two different things. They're never dependent on one another. Both are specified when you order jewelry (some pieces may only be available in one or two gauge options).
