i have mine done....it HURT SOOO MUCH i almost passed out getting it done, and ive had quite a few ear rings and my belly button and tongue done in the past. BUT the guy had never done one before i guess he could have just stabbed around and made it worse than it needed to be!
I have a hoop in it now and it doesnt hurt, had it done 12 years ago (holy crap that makes me feel old) and to be honest i hurt for years! but i loved it and stuck out the really long healing time and annoying pain! doesnt hurt anymore!
