How to gauge your lip with a lip ring?

Ok...so you have a safety pin in your lip...I'm praying you didn't pierce your lip yourself...at least I hope you boiled whatever you used...How long have you had this? You need to wait at least a month before you try to gauge a new piercing (supposed to be healed really). I honestly think you should try to put a 16g in there first and let it heal for a month, then put in the 14g.
