What size gauge curved barbells do piercers normally use for eyebrows?

I got pierced today with a size 14. I wasn't very pleased with the result. I ended up regretting the spot it was placed in and called the piercer and she said to take it out immediately if i want it to heal and get re-pierced. (and i did take it out) I don't know if this is the standard size but the barbell is a little bit bigger than i want. I know, i cant change it once it's healed and all but i felt as though it was pierced too low. what do you think?

    the balls look about a 5mm. You could have just bought a 16g barbell... They usually have a 3mm ball. Yeah 16g is smaller than 14g and a 3mm is smaller then a 5. Next time you get it done just tell the piercer you want a 16g curved barbell with a 3mm threaded balls.

    If you haven't had it out long you could try going to walmart and getting a 16g and try to get it back in and it would heal. :) Good luck hun.

    Sorry the curved barbell was bigger then what you wanted

    EDIT: also if you can try to just even fit the 14g back in then let it heal a bit. You can find 14g 3mm balls as well as for a 16g. It's not the gauge size that anyone sees it's the size of the balls. --Ebay has a great selection of threaded balls and barbells :)

    with out discomfort I doubt it.. maximum business barbells are atleast at bare min. some million a million/4 inch to 2 inches .. i might reccomend going to a save and unquestionably shelling ten dollars for the main outstanding jewerly.. Cartilage hurts miserably in case you place consistent rigidity on it and may even pinch nerves that's not secure all around. I purely have bout 20 piercings in my face and ears , alongside with 2 industrials. So only bypass get the huge-unfold jewerly and make useful that's the suited guage too. i'm telling you Stretching cartiliage piercings harm like a B!
