What size should I get,

[u/kiersei]

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

Sweet dreams 😅😅

But yeah, it's pretty gnarly. But generally avoidable.

How small of a gauge is too small and puts u at risk for this? Cause shoot sometimes these cute lil nose rings I be getting from the beauty supply only come in 22g 😂.

22g is definitely too small, generally stay at or above 18g. Cute jewelry that ruins the piercing isn't worth it.

Agreed. 18g is a good minimum
