Is a cartilage piercing the same gauge size as a normal ear lobe piercing?

Does the helix cartilage piercing have gauge sizes or is it the standard size like a regular ear lobe piercing?

Answer #1

If you’re talking about ear cartilage, yes. Unless the piercing is done at a studio, or by a piercer (not Wal-Mart, or another chain store) the normal gauge size is 18. And they only go bigger if you request it.
