piercing bar ring rings 16g
tragus piercings? PLEASE HELP!?

I recently had my tragus pierced, about a month ago. I’m not planning on changing it yet but i would like to know this if anyone can help?! I got it done at Blue Banana. Does anyone know what size they use to pierce tragus’ there or just the general size that they’re pierced with.

If it was a 16g this means i can’t use a 12g one right? I’ve seen on the internet that 12 is bigger than 16?

Also, can someone explain the different kinds of ring/bars/studs you can put in. From what i’ve researched i think i have a labret stud because it had a flat back :)

Im beginning to wish i never got it done because i know so little about it. Also the same for my helix :/

A tragus would probably be pierced with a 16 or 14 gauge, you can always call and ask. A 12 gauge is larger than a 16 with gauges being measured opposite meaning the smaller the number the larger the gauge. A 12 gauge would probably stretch your piercing which would be uncomfortable, so a 16 or 14 would be a better size. You can wear a lot of different jewelry in a tragus. Yours sounds like a labret stud with a straight bar with a flat disk on the back. You can also wear a curved barbell in it or a ring like a captive ball ring (CBR) or a circular barbell.
