I got mine done back in 2000 and sometimes I forget I have it. I figure skate, so it was always covered up and it got infected, but it eventually healed and I haven't had problems with it since. Mine cost about 35.00, but I have seen them up to 100.00. Check around on prices and make sure the place is up to health department codes. They should have prepackaged needles that they don't reuse. I didn't feel it when he pierced me, I felt the ring going it. It didn't hurt and trust me, I'm VERY VERY needlephobic!! If you have a Spencers get their Morbid Threads rings. They are stainless steel and they are cleaned before packaged, but you still want to clean them before you put them in. Hot Topic's body jewelry is ALL stainless steel.

If you decide to get one and it gets infected, don't take the ring out to let it heal up, b/c then the infection gets trapped inside *if you have questions ask a doctor*. I was told not to go hot tubbing, but baths and the ocean were okay. If you get one and to clean it, use antibacterial cleaner which you can buy at piercing parlors or Hot Topic. If you use rubbing alcohol it can break the acrylic balls and crack them.
