Piercings.

[reclaimings]

I'm looking for a safe, clean piercing studio to do a nipple piercing. I'm overwhelmed with recommendations from friends about piercers and studios, but none of them have had this specific piercing done -- how much would I be looking at paying for both the piercing and the jewelery? Any personal recommendations?

Thank-you in advance,
T.

Do not go to Off Ya Tree. You can occasionally find a good piercer there, but my nipple is STILL giving me trouble a year after I took the piercing out. One was okay, but the second piercing I had was done by someone different and he was shite.

Don't be afraid to ask questions about aseptic technique. They should walk you through it. They should both scrub their hands/arms AND use gloves, needles should be single use and you should see them unopened in their sterile packaging before they're used. Forceps and clamps can be reused, but again they should be sterilised and they should have no problems with you saying "Can I see the instruments in unopened autoclave packages before you set them out?"

Just about everyone will tell you the same thing: go to The Piercing Urge in South yarra/Prahran. Google them--their prices are on their website. They're also really good with the aftercare and seeing you for follow up appointments if you have trouble.

Hope that helped.

You cannot go past The Piercing Urge. Not sure of their current prices but they are not cheap, but they are totally amazing and worth every penny.

Yep, definitely the Piercing Urge. Nowhere else even compares.

i went to a tattoo place on princes highway dandenong. I think all up it wasn't more than $60 but i can't remember exactly it was so long ago.

the piercing is relatively straight forward. I found it to be less painful than getting my nose or trachus piercings. And less awkward than getting a tongue piercing. There's only a quick flash of pain and then its over.

Through the healing process its not painful to heal like other piercings, and requires minimal care. I mostly just cleaned it during my morning shower.

yep the Piercing Urge in South Yarra is clean and very experienced in nipple piercing (not to mention other body parts as well)

Yeah, my girlfriend had her nipples done here.

Oh man, I got mine does about 12 years ago at a piercing place that used to be in Knox, it cost me $120!!! But I have NEVER had problems with it or anything and very easy to care for afterwards (TMI-I even took mine out when BFing and was able to put it back in 6 months after)
