It is normal for a lobe piercing to be 16 or 18 gauge... but it is normally 18.
A 16 gauge is normally used for tragus piercings :)

How big is the hole of a industrial piercing?
I'm guessing 14 gauge.
What size gauge should you get if its your first time?
It depends on where your piercing is, but usually you will get between a 14-18 gauge. (Smaller gauge = bigger hole)
Does cheek piercing hole ever close?
Depends on the age of the piercing, the gauge, and just how your body heals. Most do close but they leave scars.
If you have an 18 gauge for a lip piercing when you switch it out can you use a 16 gauge instead?
Yes, but you would be streching the hole, like people stretch their ears.
Do you have to have a big needle to get a big hole for your Monroe piercing?
Whenever you go in for a Monroe piercing, the piercer will take a needle, usually either a 18-16 gauge, and pierce your lip with that. It doesn't leave a big hole at all. But, if you want to gauge your Monroe, then you could have the piercer pierce with a bigger gauged needle, or just gauge it out yourself.
You want to gauge your ears to about a 0 but you have a second piercing behind the regular one can you still gauge it as long as it doesn't become too big because you dont want the other one to rip?
If you're asking if you can stretch a second hole, then yes. The size it can reach depends on the individual's earlobe, hole spacing and like factors.
Will a lip piercing stretch after age you get it?
Once any piercing is *seasoned (*over a year old ), so long as the jewellery is appropriate for the piercing in gauge and length or diameter the piercing will not stretch unless you change it to a larger gauge. So will you have this big gaping hole in your lip? Well no, if you stay with the jewellery you are sized to it should stay the same size during the *life of the piercing (* this is for however long you choose to keep the piercing ).
Will a 6 gauge piercing close?
Yes, a 6 gauge piercing may close if left without jewelry for an extended period of time. However, the rate at which it closes can vary from person to person. If you are concerned about the piercing closing, it's best to consult with a professional piercer for guidance.
Can you change from a 16gauge to a 14gauge belly ring?
Yes but you need to have this done by a professional body piercer who will use and insertion taper to put the new jewellery in the piercing. 14 gauge is thicker than 16 gauge and should be stretched up by use of a taper, forcing the jewellery into the hole will tear the piercing.
Does lip piercing scar?
Well its not necessarily that they scar, but its almost as if the hole where the piercing was never goes away. Yes the hole closes, but you can still see where the piercing was.

You had your ear pierced for 12 months and have not wore earrings for four months and you want the hole to close how long will it take to close?
It depends on the type of piercing and the size of the piercing. If it's a small gauge it will close within a few days, larger gauge a weeks. Just wash the piercing remove the jewellery and clean the area when bathing normally. It will close when it feels like it, you just need to leave it alone.
