I think getting pierced at a large gauge from the start is not smart and show a lack of patience. You are adding a big hole instead of slowly allowing your body to stretch and grow into the right size. So the flesh you remove is gone forever. Just not the way it was intended to be done.
Actually I believe that unless you specifically get them punched, you don't actually have any tissue removed. It use the same kind of tribeveled needle like with the smaller gauges,where the pierce and separate istead of removing flesh.

FALSE, TRUE and TRUE.
A piercing with a needle removes nothing, the needle actually dosn't punch a hole. it makes a slit. Actually look at a piercing needle and you will see this. You can get pierced upto a 4ga needle, and even taper after that.
A dermal punch on the other hand which what I believe you thought of does remove that tissue/flesh forever. In fact Dermal are illegal in most places.

Yeah I was talking about a punch. When I was working in the shop the only person that got it done that large from the start got a punch so I assumed that was what you were talking about.

I used to have both earlobes, a cartilage industrial, and I still have both nipples. My nipples were the least painful of all. I'll never take them out. I removed the rest for work.

I have my tongue, snakebites, nostril, septum (hardly wear it out though), industrial, and my lobes stretched to 5/8 of an inch.
Retired my bridge and third lip ring.
Im done with piercings I think for now at least. I want a monroe but dont have the healing time to take it out for work. oh well. More focused on tattoos now.
I've done most of my piercings myself, including my tongue. Everyone said it was stupid, but hey... it didn't get infected and I've had it for almost 2 years now with no problems. It was stupid though... hah. Anyone else into self-mods?
My other mods are my 00g plugs (self-pierced & stretched). I want to go bigger. And two tats:
...oh, and I always have Crayola-colored hair. (Blue right now). If you can count that....
Future mods: * Industrial (tried to self-pierce... probably just pay the $30 to get it done...hah) * Sylvia Plath's epitaph quote: "Even amidst fierce flames the golden lotus can be planted" (probably around a lotus) * Maybe an ohm? That's too stereotypical, I guess.... * Possibly tattooed eye make up, but probably not.
When I was in highschool a girl tried to pierce her own tongue and messed up hiiting something that was definitely not suppossed to be pierced and it kinda made part of her face permanently paralyzed.

That sounds really strange. I just can't imagine nerves for the rest of your face running through your tongue, the start of it is way down in your throat. But I'm not really sure. Just sounded odd.
I have heard many similar stories about eyebrow piercings though.
Yea I dont know exactly what went wrong. Hell it coulve even been the result of an infection I suppose. But it made the side of her face sorta droopy. It just kinda sat weird afterward, something like Peter on Heroes.
