gemma86 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 A bit of a ressurection of the thread - but I was wondering, does anyone know how much it is to get my helix pierced in one of the reputable piercers that's been mentioned in this topic? I was in Mancheter yesterday and nearly got it done at the Manchester Piercing *whateveritscalled* and they were charging £10 for a ring and £15 for a bar, which is a bit cheaper than the place I was thinking about going to, I think it's £15-£20 there. I paid £28 to get my tragus done there, which I've been told was a bit expensive, so I was really up for getting done out of money, even though they were really good.

slh73 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 usually about £15-20 quid. And, when someones sticking needles into your body, cheap doesnt always equal good. Basically, you get what you pay for. Go to Feline on Hickmott Road, theyll see you right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds so contradicting! I think I'll try there, because reading this thread, they seem the best place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badhairdo Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 a tongue piercing is one of the least painful piercings you can get:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louise170419 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 i agree with badhairdo ive had my tongue pierced now for over a year, had no problems with it whatsoever. only things what annoyed me is people staring at you like you are sum mad freak when you are talking to them, so all i do now is stick my tongue out at them and that soon stops them staring.

badhairdo Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 "One thing to note with tongue piercings is because of the position of the the veins in the tongue not everyones tongue can take a piercing - go along to a reputable piercer (the two already mentionsed have good reputations) but in the unlikely event that they say they can't pierce your tongue don't go get it done on some dodgy backstreet place!" If you go to a skilled piercer there is no reason why veins would prevent you from having a tongue piercing. I have pierced lots of tongues with centre veins. Worst case scenario, you catch the vein, it swells instantly instead of over a period of two to three days and bleeds when you insert the jewellery, and takes a little longer to heal.

poimaster Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I dunno wether Badhairdo is a good piercer or not but Jane at Feline told me that she has refused to pierce some people with a centre vein in thier tongue. She has always come across as someone who cares more about the welfare of her customers rather than being the kinda person to do a piercing just for the money. If you are thinking of getting any kind of piercing then follow the advice of 95% of the people on this post and go to Feline. They know what they are doing and wont pierce your veins!! Ouch!!

badhairdo Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Jane at feline also pierced my tongue and rates highly in my books. I have been told I am a good piercer. I was trained by one of Mr Sebastians apprentices and spent the last year working at a busy London studio, averaging at least 4 tongue piercings a day, 6 days a week. Draw your own conclusions.
