[QUOTE="Knikki, post: 1828879"] Sometimes I pinch or sometimes I just push it in a little more. However skin does vary in thickness around the body from 0.5mm, I would think around the facal area to 4mm think in other places, plus in other parts of the body you would also have a fatty layer on top of the muscle as well. So unless your really muscley then the 4mm needle should not hit a muscle. [/QUOTE]
