The P e r m a B a n

Well, not very weird. But more weird than any of my other piercings.


I went to this shop the other day to get my naval pierced in celebration of turning 18.

I get there, and everything is going smooth until I go back to get the actual piercing.
The guy- who wasn't the normal piercer- took FOREVER and moved me into every which position to try and get this done right, ok cool, I guess.
But as soon as he starts to pierce me, he stops half way through ?! He didn't push it through all the way, and I could feel it wiggling(semi-painful), and then he finally pushed it through.

So after that nonsense is all said and done and I get the normal lecture, I go out to pay. 8o dollars !

Has anyone ever paid 80 for a simple piercing like that?! I went and got my tattoo priced same day, and it's 80/90 and it's not that small. I feel weirded out by the whole process.

Oh, and I can't tell if the piercing is actually off center now from the wiggling, or if it's just swollen.
Overreaction?

I paid $90 AUD for mine about five or six years ago. That also took into account the special titanium bar I had ordered in. :3 Not too much on the original price, but what you paid sounds reasonable.

Mine was only $50 and when the piercer did it she did it in one swift movement!
I'd be pissed if I had a piercing done like that.. the only time I've had fresh piercings pulled around was when I got my sternum pierced and he had an issue getting the bar in and some piercings that were done with CBR's.

Spell fail.

@ Genea - The price wouldn't have been a big deal had I gotten a special bar. But what I got (because it was the only option) was a standard curved barbell - which isn't customary; usually it is a CBR because they're much easier to clean.

@Intoxikace - I wasn't very happy. I'm even less happy now that I realize the piercing is indeed off center a bit.

Yeah, I would definitely never pay that much for one. I got mine pierced for $40 at a great place by a VERY talented, knowledgeable piercer. sweatdrop
