the only advice i will ever give

I used 16g needles to pierce my nipples. 20 aint nuttin'.

It's not about being a "hero", it's about scar tissue that will form from using a larger gauge.

Exactly.

I guess my middle name must be "cupcake." I use 25g.

20's are perfect!

They are my favorite size for drawing from the vial. 18's chew up the stopper too bad and anything smaller takes too long to draw with. Draw with a 20, hit with a 23 or 25!

whats this about scar tissue?

if you using 20's your arm/glute must look like swiss cheese

it's only one injection a week, but it isn't pretty, there is a little bump with a dot of blood, like a bee sting i guess. you can definetely see it. hope my girlfriend doesn't notice!

Any time you shove something into your body and tear muscle fibers as well as tissue, it devolpes scar tissue. Look at your leg, ever get a cut and peel the scab to quick. Now your left with a scar. Same thing is hapening when you pierce your body. Scar tissue is building up inside. The bigger the gauge the bigger the hole and the more scar tissue you get. Scar tissue never grows anymore ll it does is sit there and become scar tissue. ALways use the smallest gauge possible. It is not about I am a big man I cna use 18g pins. It is the fact that if you are planning on shooting alot then over time you are going to be nothing but a big scar inside.

so how many injections does it take before you start messing your glute up? could this cause a big problem in years to come if i keep injecting? this is my first cycle.

I had problems with drawing with an 18. It did seem to chew up the stopper too much. After a while, the hole was enlarged, my stuff started looking funny and I tossed it for fear of infection.
