yeah i'll do your cheeks no problem! 50$ each then tax so it will come to 53.00 a cheek! come on in anytime between 4-8 and we'll do it up for you! as for the largest gague i pierce at, i have 6g needles, anything bigger would have to be dermal punched. and it depends on the area in question too! hope to see you soon!

ps - thanks =) I'll probably be in within the next paycheck or two to get it done.

uh huh... i wouldn't pierce a cheek at a 6g, i was just stating the highest gague i pierce at in general without having to dermal punch...
i beleive they were two seperate questions....
anyways, thanks for the diagram....


Cool coke! we'll see you soon at the shop

Hey,
I was wondering if you do cheek piercings, and how much it would run me to get both of my cheeks done.
I'm also wondering what the largest gauge you pierce at is.
Thanks.

speaks for itself doesn't it?

100 bullets you do sound like a dick! are you a doctor or a body piercer??? that doesn't even matter, why don't you learn how to properly read something before you waste your time and bring up a stupid diagram!? moron

y'know i think that the 100bullets person was simply looking out for the not-so-educated among us. while it was just a simple miscommunication, there ARE alot of the hacks in the business... that's life. better to respond to the criticism (even the unwarranted) with a smile than to be upset about it. if mspackman were not the professional everyone seems to regard her as, that person may have saved someone an excruciating experience. can't we all just get along?

and a question for the piercer, i've never heard of any reputable practioner doing any sort of surface piercing with a curved or straight barbell... but rather a specially shaped surface bar suited to the individual client's anatomy, and have been told that it's terribly unsafe. if this is incorrect, could you tell me why, and what the benefits of a curved or straight barbell over a specially made one would be?

Hey Hippie
i appreciate the post! there are alot of hack job piercers out there. and i fully agree with you.
as for surface piercings, about the only surface piercings i will do with curved BB's are facial surface, eyebrow/anti eyebrow they come with their own risks and i let every client getting any surface piercing know that. The area to be pierced should be carefully considered prior to performing this piercing. Facial nerves and muscles should be pinched and manipulated to insure the ideal placement. The piercing can be done with the standard clamp and pierce method or with the newer dermal punch and taper method, adopted by several piercers in the last few years. i do agree for surface piercings that custom jewellery is the best way to go if you are looking for a long term piercing. and never stated that curved or straight had any benifit over custom jewellery. i myself would never pierce a surface with a straight Barbell. i do however feel healing with a short curved bb when properly placed can have the same outcome as custom made jewellery. there are risks with any and every surface piercing weather it be with custom jewellery or curved. but done properly and cared for properly it can turn out to be a happy healthy piercing.

This is probably a stupid question.. I have had my nostril pierced for a few yrs now.. I wanted to get a white gold - real diamond post. I was looking on eBay, but wasnt' sure what size I should be getting. I've never changed my nose ring myself (i'm a whimp!).. The one i was looking at was 20g 7mm.. And if i do buy one, am i able to come get it put on at the tattoo shop? or do you sell these at the shop?

look for 18 gauge, theres not a problem, putting in a 20 but if we do then if you wanted to put back in another nose stud you would have to stretch back up to 18 which may be painful. and yes i'll put it in for you no problem! i don't charge for changing jewellery, and its better than trying to do it over your bathroom sink! no we don't have them here the best thing i can do for you is order you one, but we only have yellow gold, and it may take a few weeks to get here! good luck any other questions call me asap!

p.s there are no stupid questions, only stupid anwsers!

I have a question about a nipple piercing. I have had mine in for about six months or so and its a 16 gauge cbr, I think its 16 gauge. I was wondering how much it and if it was possible to replace the one I have now with a cbr at a bigger gauge. Thanks

[mspackman]

hey beastmaster
yeah we can gague you up no prob, it should have been done with a 14g cbr in the first place, but if it is a 16 we can stretch you up to a 14. anyways stop by the shop anytime!

Hey , Amy I was just wondering how much it would be to get my tongue pierced I'am only 16 would I still be able to get a tongue piercing ?

[beastmaster]

I'm back with another question, I knew I forgot something to ask. When I do come in to gauge up my cbr how much would that cost? I just started back at work and there's other thing I need to take care of. Thanks

[mspackman]

Ash- yep as long as your tounge is long enough and you bring photo ID we'll do your tounge up no prob tax's in it comes to 63.60 see you soon

Beastmaster- your gague up will be 20$, with the jewellery included! see ya at the shop

I was just in to get my nipple ring up sized to a bigger gauge and i just have to say thanks again. I was wondering if I wanted to put it up yet another size what size that would be and how long was it that you said that i should wait to do that. Did you say a week or was I just imagining that?
