Yeah,like I said,they're very by the book there,so if I were to get stretched by anyone but myself,that's the only place I'd consider going.But it's funny what you all are saying about no matter how knowledgeable,they can't feel your pain-after about a 2g,I kept saying that from that point on,I was going to leave it to a professional to do,& then for the 0 I ended up doing it myself,& said to myself afterwards,'I don't know if I could've taken having another person doing it' because sometimes I might have to rest for a second,& I'm sure you can tell them to give you a moment if you need it,but I would think for me anyway,I'd be way less likely to because I know they're working & I'd feel I was taking up too much time,or I'd figure it'd be over w/sooner if I didn't.And then for my 00 stretch,I said the same,that this time I seriously was going to have them do it,but when I went,it was only 45 min.til close,& it was crowded,so they couldn't fit me in(plus,their piercing rooms look like a doctor's office so maybe it takes time to clean after each client) so I bought the plugs & figured if I couldn't do it or had trouble,I'd just go the next day.And when I put them in,I said the same thing to myself,that I don't know if i would've been able to take it.Maybe that's why they want you to wait 6-8 wks when most people say 4,so your ears are stretchier.
