I know I post a lot about piercings but bare with me haha. I recently got my nose re pierced and I asked him for the smallest hoop. I'm not sure if it's a 5/16th or a 1/4th. I am buying nose rings for when I can change it out and they are quite expensive because they're real gold so I want to make sure I buy the correct size. I love the size he pierced me with. Help? I'll add a few pictures to help but there is no way to measure it because I can't take it out.

I'm confused. I just know the general size for a nose piercing is 18g so yeah. :(

If I were you I would just call back to where you got the piercing done and ask the smallest hoop size, it shouldn't be a problem and it will save you the risk of buying the wrong size rings.

That would be the gauge, but thank you! The sizing I'm asking for is diameter. I know all about the gauge size (:

I got mine pierced at a 16 gauge and put a small one in so now it's up to 22.

Devin, thanks I will have to do that tomorrow. I was just asking because I was hoping to go ahead and order them tonight.

It's hard to tell via pictures because everyone's nose are different sizes, but I'd say 5/16ths is a safe bet

Look up the gauge and find a translator that will translate the gorg size into diameter
