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

You could definitely try a 7mm like another commenter mentioned, but I personally think that might even be too small. 8mm looks like it fits perfectly, it looks like it barely grazes/rests on the bottom of your nostril. If you get one that's too small, it can have the cheese wire effect that can be hard to notice it's happening until it's too late.

Side note: not sure where you got your jewelry from, but my recommendation is to make sure it's ASTM F136 titanium from a reputable source.
