Of all the piercings, navels tend to grow out the most. Placement has a lot to do with the success of any piercing, so you can increase your success by being pierced by an experienced piercer and following the aftercare instructions. Wearing tight or restrictive clothing can cause a piercing to move or grow out.

Depending on the intensity of the piercings and the experience level of the piercee the absolute maximum number is four although we recommend no more than two.

You may have as many piercings as you desire, however 'post piercing trauma' (shock) is a reality and while some piercing aficionado's and record setters have had as many as 200-300 piercings in one sitting, it is not recommended. But many clients get between 6 and 15 in one sitting with no trauma at all. This is dependent on the type of piercing and is best discussed on a one-on-one consultation for the best advice possible.

All piercings are done using sterile, single use needles. Some piercings require the use of forceps (otherwise known as clamps) to hold the area securely. These may provide a feeling of numbness as it momentarily cuts off circulation. Other placements require the use of a receiving tube which "catches" the needle as it exits the piercing site and prevents the needle from puncturing any other areas of the body.

Flexible materials are not a suitable substitute for hooks or other rigid structures. Materials such as rope will tighten around the piercing, causing the skin to be pulled to one point and rip. More rigid items such as hooks are definitely better choices unless the goal is to tear free (for example in a ball dance or Sundance-type ceremony). In addition, doing this would result in major contamination of the rigging system, on top of the fact that there isn't really any way to sterilize rope. See similar questions...

Well, let's see...The uvula (the little bat hangy-down thing in the back of the throat.) for starters. If that gets infected and occludes your airway, you're kind of in trouble, eh? A few others would be any of the frenula, or webbing, in the mouth...like the smiley or the webbing under the tongue. They aren't very safe to do. See similar questions...

The nipple secretes milk through a system of hundreds of milk ducts, so the process of breast feeding will not be affected. However, if the piercing were infected, the milk would become contaminated and therefore harmful to the baby. It is strongly recommended that the mother remove her jewelry or replace the jewelry with barbells until breast feeding is no longer necessary.

Any time I do a piercing, I take many things in to consideration. The greatest thing to consider is "Is it safe?" Some piercings are done too close to foramens... those are little holes in your facial bones where nerves come out. Inner eyebrows, ante-eyebrows, some cheek piercings, etc. are risky in that way. Folks have to be really careful as well with where blood vessels are. See similar questions...
