Unfortunately the piercing places only give you a waiver form, and they do not keep their "patients" informed on developments should a need to "recall" a certain type of piercing occur.

So, I will share this simply because I am some kind of sweetheart honky fool, if you will.

I cannot answer the first part of your question.  But the second part. Friends do NOT let friends get a piercing with gold metal.  I did it because it's very pretty and I love the look of gold.  It was also more expensive, btw.  But I wanted to treat myself to the best for my birthday. I now have an allergy because my body fluids ate through the gold.  It took 6 years, but it finally happened, and I discovered after going to three doctors that this type of allery IS common.  How come no one told me that at the piercing place?  They probably didn't know, and like I said earlier, don't keep track.  The piercers come and go. And the Gauntlett, where I would go, were well respected at the time, as well as extremely careful and wellknown for their precautionary methods, but they are no longer around.

So whatever, I recommend and so do my gynies and doctors, go for the surgical steel piercings on such body parts.

Just a note,  I do suffer from this allergy now, because the labia tries to build up protective layers to protect against my own fluids.  It creates an itching. I am looking into further remedies without having to use steriod creams which thin the skin over time.


Nothing contagious at all.  One gynie recommends using brewed teabags as a poultice.  

One upside to the whole thang.   It makes me incredibly horny to where I constantly need to scratch the itch which can only be relieved either with a vibrator, or having a scratching post, if you get my drift )

I at one time had my hood pierced (the skin above the clit). I was 20 at the time. I went to many tatoo shops and parlors till I found one willing to answer all my questions. I even got to watch a few get done (always make sure it is okay with both the owner and the person getting pierced). Make sure they have a good reputation and are properly trained. Ask about sterilization procedures. Most have photo books showing off their work.

I personally no longer have it because I lost sensation after about a year of having it in for a year (I have feeling back now after taking out the ring) and got tired of having to be careful with clothing, etc. It is great for a while but overall I wouldn't do it again. Not to mention it wasn't that comfortable getting done. I would get my belly button and nipples done again with no regrets. I still don't have the nerve up to get my tongue pierced. I honestly think piercings are very sexy ~
