| I find it depends on what padded areas I've got and where I am injecting. In the interest of injecting in more places with slightly less of a layer of fat, I will sometimes pinch but just a little - I'd call it slightly raising the area with a wide "gather", rather than a good pinch. It may depend a little on how much real estate you have to go on. Without this I'd be re-using sites more than I'd like. I think this need to maximise real estate really hits home after a few thousand shots/few years and seeing/feeling a bit of scar buildup if you overuse.
