No it's repiercing it. In my area, almost any piercer would be willing to pierce up to 8g, and if you have the space for it, a really good piercer can easily pierce you larger. I've watched someone get a 0g tongue piercing. Kinda gross actually, the needle made me feel faint.
It's not the same, because you aren't stretching. You're slicing the existing hole wide, so it will take the same amount of time to heal as your previous piercing. The advantages of it are no waiting to get to a goal size, having it be sterile, and less scar tissue since cut tissue won't scar like stretched tissue will. If you're only going to 10g and you're one size away from it, it may not be the best choice. But for impatient people, it's almost always a better one.
