Everyone has different goal sizes,many of which changes over time. So therefore, when one reaches their goal, or a point where they feel is an important step towards their goal, is going to vary from person to person. But in my own experience, & from what others have said & what I'd imagine others may feel, I think there are certain sizes that when you reach them, feels more of a big deal to you than other sizes. These are the ones I felt were kind of important to me:
-8g, because it seems like it's the point where a plug starts to look like a plug more so than an earring
-2g, because it's only 1 step away from 0g!
-0g -like many people,that was my original goal size.Ended up going bigger,but at that size,you can really see through the hole when you wear tunnels,& most styles look good at that size.And,you pretty much have your pick of whatever style you want.Plus,I noticed that once I was at 0g,the waiting in bet. seemed so much easier,& the time seemed to go by faster.
-7/16", because you're now at a size that I know I kind of considered in a whole other category;you're now past the sizes that are measured in gauges (occasionally,I've seen 7/16" referred to as 000g,but that's something you very rarely see)
Now,I'm at 9/16" & plan to stay there;I always say that,but I really mean it this time (always say that too!),so I can't speak for the sizes larger than that.
What sizes did/do you all feel were or are more of a big deal to you more than others?
