So skin is actually some pretty tough shit.
I put in the little 16 gauge one last night. I'm probably going to end up waiting about two weeks and then just sticking another 14 gauge in. I can't tell, though, whether the hole I made was angled or if the first one (done with a gun) was angled, because in the back they seem closer together than in the front. Not a big deal really. And I think it'll look better when I have the two the same size in.
Now I'm just waiting for someone to notice. lol
