Need recommendations for cheap piercing shops around North Yorkshire,as the one I've been to is £20,which is ludicrous

i'll do it for 7 and throw in a complimentary kick up the hole for ye!

Ok but you'll have to send her to London. Just put her on the train, I'll bring a needle and a bag of ice to the station, pierce on the platform then stick her back on the train back to you.

I'm sure this has been asked before loads of times, but I'm going to ask anyway.

Why on earth would you do such a thing? Why does a 6 mo baby need jewellery? Have you any idea how awful it looks and is?

You do know they have nerve endings and can feel pain at 6 months right?

disreputable · 03/06/2012 16:30

no slag, they are like fish. they can feel pain but who fucking cares

no, hang on, that's not right

PandaWatch · 03/06/2012 16:31

Hoop or bar?

What about an eyebrow for an extra 5?

If you stick metal through the ears of a cat you get done for cruelty to animals.

By all means its fine to do this mutilating shit to your kids though Sad

IQuiteLikeVodka · 03/06/2012 16:41

I've already done my cat,and it looks pretty good actually

IQuiteLikeVodka · 03/06/2012 16:45

In Spain the hospitals pierce the ears of all new born girls. My SIL was aghast when told they were wheeling her 1 hour old daughter away for this and put a stop to it. The Spanish grandparents think it's not right - that somehow she now has a boy's ears. Luckily her Spanish H is more understanding.

My Mum did her own with a needle and an ice cube,says it never did her any harm,I can't afford £20
