New piercing...

craz_e_blossom · #1 (**permalink**) Mar 17, 05

I have been thinking about getting my labret done for awhile now and I was wondering if it hurt. Not that that will stop me from getting it done but out of curiosity. I was also wondering where some of you would recommend to get it done as well as giving me prices...
Thanks

The thing you have to keep in mind when it comes to pain, is that it hurts when it happens, but the next day it's like nothing happened, and you won't even remember what happened... well except for your piercing.

I never let pain stop me from getting a new piercing.

The labret would probably feel just fine..just pinch it to see what it'd feel like:) Next downtown is a sterile place with experienced staff, I'd go there.

doesnt hurt ... very minimal amount of pain.... I paid 50 dollars for mine.
its worth it.... as long as you think you would suit it

it felt like a bad pinch when I got it.

otherwise it was fine...

I've had far worse pain from my other piercings.

yeah, it doesn't hurt at all.. I got mine done for free when I went home for xmas, but its anywheres from 40 - 60 bones

Thanks I appreciate all the in-put.

i found the pain to be very minimal.

my nose was more annoying to have done.

it sucked to try to eat though with it....cause the disk would get caught on my teeth...

i love mine & and it didnt hurt me,
its my favorite piercing, i deffinatly recomend getting it

asking 'does it hurt' is a really stupid question.

isn't it kind of obvious a needle being forced through your skin is going to hurt? maybe a little?

it's 4 seconds of pain at the most anyways, that should be the least of your worries.

A good friend of mine runs a tattoo and piercing parlor in NewWest. I FULLY recommend getting him to do your piercings. He's experienced, clean, and inexpensive compared to many of the other shops.

His name is Wolf and he runs Steel Temple on Edmonds near Kingsway. He's done all my piercings and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

oh he doesnt run it out of his house anymore?
He peirced my belly button and didn't do a very good job of it.

Paige I'd say go to sinister's on st Johns in Port Moody Ryan is a REALLY good peircer I would trust him to do ANY of mine.

Way to knock the guy.... my bet is you can find a fair number of satisfied clients on this board alone. I know of quite a few people on here who have used him and never a complaint.

As for NEXT, you can get the same clean and sterilized professional service at plenty of other places for a lot less. NEXT is great, don't get me wrong, but obscenely over priced for the service they provide.

Im sure he has quite a few satisfied clients...Im not saying that Im just saying he didnt do a good job on me. I wouldn't sugest going there. That my opinion tho. As for NEXT...I havn't been there so I couldnt say anything.

I strongly disagree. You get what you pay for. Sure, you can get something done dirt cheap at mac's leathers, but they also use cheap titanium jewellery and have someone just poke a hole in you, give you some iodine and shoo you away.

I would encourage NEXT! for people who are getting a piercing done for the first time, only because they really make an effort to educate all first timers. They sit down and talk to you about aftercare, precuations, actual signs of infection, etc. I think that is IMPERATIVE for people getting their first piercing. Have you ever been to next? I worked there for two years and sat in on these sessions, they spend a good amount of time making sure everything is clear to the person before this even happens, and to be honest I don't see that at other places done that thoroughly. You seriously do get what you pay for, quality.
