where is a good place(sanatary/safe) to get a belly piercing and how much does it cost?
do u bring ur own belly jewel or do u have to buy it there?

[SkinnyPupp]

I'll let you know when my GF gets out of bed :)

BTW I do know that you have to wear a hoop for the first while. They'll decide which size you should used based on your shape and navel size.

[fly-gurl]

i think you have to buy the navel ring from them...i got my navel pierced for about $40 at mack's leather since they were having some special...although the place doesn't look very clean, they were actually quite thorough in in sanitation methods such as sterilizing the instruments and bagging them and such...i think other places such as next and sacred heart as just as good but i think it costs a bit more

Check out http://www.nextbody.com/

I have lots of friends that had it done there.

[SkinnyPupp]

My GF got hers done at "Underground" on Granvile. She says it's VERY clean, and comfortable to go.

[~designer_rice~]

I got it done at Next on Granville. It's $70 just for the piercing. Depending on which ring or bar you choose, the price varies. Mine costed $112 altogether. You don't have to get a ring if you don't want to. I got a bar and can't change it for four months. Next is quite sterile. I have no infections yet since I got it pierced last month. First timers get a group talk which was cheesy. The pain factor was not bad at all. Now...I just have to tone that tummy of mine...

I'm not piercing mine until my stomach gets toned - like real flatttt. I stopped doing Pilates I got too lazy :(

[Dream830]

i go to First on Granville. they're clean, efficient and knowledgeable. the naval piercing came to approximately $50 to $60 including the ring. for the piercing to heal more effectively, it is recommended that you begin with a hoop cause when you cleanse with antibacterial soap you can rotate the ring through the hole.

[hEllraZr1208]

me and my friends all get our piercings done at sacred heart...
(between us all parts of ear, lip, nose, eyebrow, tongue, belly, nipple)..... i got my tongue done at next... good service but they weren't that nice about aftercare when i came in for downsizing

[girlie racer]

i got mine done at Next too, came to about $118 and then i come back in 3 months to change the size of the hoop and color of the jem =D .. i was scared shitless cuz they make u watch other people do it..but the inhaler thing they gave me made me feel like i was on drugs and i went to la la land for a bit haha

[petite_treat]

Iam not too sure what places would be good in Vancouver since iam from Victoria..but i know the prices do range and you need to buy the ring from the piercer:)
My sis go hers done last year and it goes roughly $50..i dont think it's that expensive though..and as far as pain..ive heard that it's not too bad.
i want to go get mine done..but until i have more $ that wont be happening.

First on Granville is 1149 Granville St. 604-682-3937 if you want to call for appointment.
and Next should be right next door of it. Planning on getting my tattoo there.

Anyways,
My best friend and I got ours pierced at First on Granville. Got it about 6 1/2 months ago. Still no infections. Should have Bear pierce you, he has the most sooothing voice that you'll be soo relaxed that it'll absolutely feel like it was nothing.

It costed me $50.80 after tax for the whole piercing.

$21 for the ring
$25 for the navel fee

[Hondaracer]

bellybutton rings are harsh played

There is no more underground on Granville right?

[Trinity]

What about for sensitive skin? Does that matter when going for a bellyring?

[mono520]

Had mine done yesterday and it was great! i went to sarcred hearts on nelson, got the barbell with 2 jewels (top and big gem on bottom). My piercer was really patient a great to deal with, he answered all of my questions and explained everything in plain english about the procedure.

Everything costed me $126 for the piercing, barbell and seasalts. Very well worth it because of the service! If i had more than 1 belly button, i'd get them all done there!

service was good, clean...i'd go there again

i also got my tattoo on the same day.. again, service was good and clean....my tat costed me $107

[superlammy1031]

[Celica_GurL]

Go to First on Granville. It's only $50 and it's clean and very professional.

They won't pierce you with a barbell though. Only a ring. Places that pierce you with a barball really shouldn't be doing that. When you first get pierced you need a ring to be able to rotate it so the skin doesn't grow over. With a barbell to start, you can't do that and the risk of infection/problems in the future shoot wayyy up.

Plus, the $70 price for their barbells at Next is ridiculous. They say it's because the top ball screws into the barbell instead of the other way around or else it will rip your piercing. That's not true and they are just trying to rip you off. It costs them a few bucks to buy those barbells wholesale. I've seen them on whoesale sites and ebay, and they're charging people $70 because they're the only place that carries that kind.

For the people that went to Next, you got majorly ripped off.

Where is first on granville?

[Celica_GurL]

a friend of mine went to first on granville and her piercing got infected...

as for me, i'd prefer to go to next or sacred heart..i've seen both places and both places seem to be very clean and thorough with their sanitation of needles and stuff.....

It's past that leather shop I think.

Further down granville than Next

That doesn't mean that First is dirty. They use sealed and prepackaged needles only, so the only way it could have gotten infected is if your friend was dirty with her piercing and didn't clean it properly.

As for the sanitization of needles being the reason you prefer Next or sacred heart.. First uses disposable needles.. meaning they never use the same one twice.. thus practically eliminating infection other than your own doing.

:)

[babyshortie]

it just all depends on the person whether or not its gonna get infected or not

i personally got my belly done at next like 2 years ago.it was very clean..but the lied to me....they said i could purchase a barbell bring it in..and they'll pierce it with the one i had...

but just like what babygrass said, they wouldn't do it cuz of the top screw thing...so gay...so i just pierced it with the hoop first....then i cheated and changed my belly ring to the barbell so yah....it didn't get inffected

and with first on granville...i got my first tattoo there..they did a good job...clean and super friendly :)

both places are good, but i would have to say next does cost a little more

how did you change your ring? cause i cant seem to take mine off.. someone told me to just flick the bead out.. and it should come off.. I've tried, and i dont want to flick to hard.. dotn want to ripe out the ring...

did you go someplace to change it? cause some places wont change it for you if you bring your own barbell. my friend did that.. and they wouldnt change it for her. so she ended up spending another $90 for a barbell, just to get it change...

any places where they would changed it for you if you brought your own barbell in???

Take 2 pliers and pull the metal parts on either side of the ring away from each other. The ball should fall off and you can take out the metal.

i went to next to change my belly ring, i lied and said i had it for 6 months already...the dude was about to change it for me...but then the woman there said NO cuz of the screw thing at the top...so the dude just took off the bead for me..and said u can take the chance and change it urself

i walked a blk down and got first on granville to change it for me

Pain factor was minimal, took les than 30 seconds to peirce and put the barbell in.

With a barbell to start, you can't do that and the risk of infection/problems in the future shoot wayyy up.



At sacred hearts, if you peirce with a barbell, they will only allow you to perice with the longest length barbell, meaning that you are able to slide the barbell up and down (similar to a ring but not 360 degrees) and it can accommodate the swelling in the first few weeks. It's somthing like getting your ears peirced, do you peirce it with a stud or ring?????

With the ring, if you sleep on your bellly or wear super tight clothes, you may press the ring to one side, you risk the change of your belly ring healing crooked. There is also a higher chance of snagging the ring which in turn will tear the wound and the healing process will take longer.

[naomi]

We can debate about piercing with a ring vs a barbell until the cows come home and I doubt that anybody is going to change their views.

That's the great thing about living in a country where having your own opinion is encouraged.

[ilubebe]
