Has anyone got there ear lope dermal punched? I want it to 10g, how badly will it hurt? Is it worth it?

i tried stretching my ears with tapers. I took my tapers out, and my hole grew over completely i don't want to go with tapers again, because you always have to keep up with them. And i don't want to be spending the money every 2-3 weeks. Would it just be easier do get a dermal punch? How badly does it hurt? And the pricing is 10$ a gauge, how much would being punched to a 10gauge be?
