    Wildcat in stephen's green will do it for €60.

    Snakebite on Abbey St charge €70.

    In my experience, these are the two best places to go for them. Can highly recommend wildcat, have had all my piercings done there and they're fantastic. Snakebite also come very highly recommended, many posters on this forum have had good experiences there too.

    Oops, forgot about Bodyshock! It's also a great studio! Can't find prices on their website though, but their phone number is 01-6727602, if you wanted to call ahead and check the price.

    I can vouch for bodyshock. Got my conch done there when it was beside the bank in Temple bar and they were very very nice. And Wildcat in Stephens Green.

    My understanding, which is limited both by my lack of hafadas and my gender, is that if you are going to go through with it - you ought to get like three plus.... just what peoples i know have been telling me.

    I meant 3 piercings, but also, i believe it's also kind of thing that benefits from a bit of weight behind it.....

    it is a surface piercing in the scrotum, often done in a series or "ladder"

    I think people often want something like that done because a somewhat weighty ring ( or series....) is likely to move with some momentum during sex.

    I don't have a scrotum, but the various gential piercings i have had were much easier than my nipple piercings... i don't think hafadas are a particularly painfull piercing.

    In general Genital piercings go through less flesh than any other. Ears go through more

    I think that in general, guys anticipate a lot more pain with genital piercings than there is actually going to be.

    Some of the piercings will hurt, a lot, others will be like:
    "Aaa.. wait, that's it? :eek:"

    The metal, not the color.
    Ozzie, don't get your hopes set on a particular piece of jewellery that you want right now. You might have to get a piece that is more comfortable for the piercing while its healing, and it may be a smaller gauge than you want and you could have to wait to size up.

    I'd just stick to salt water solution. Don't know what's in contact lense cleaner

    You can get cans/bottles of saline for soaking contact lenses in, but the concentration would possibly be a bit too high. If it's contact lens cleaning solution, then it probably has other chemicals in it too.

    Ozzieoz I'd really suggest you stick to water that's been boiled and left to cool with pure sea salt added, as per the recommendations in the "Guidelines for healing your piercings" thread.

    I wouldn't be using contact lens solution on piercings... but I think you are actually meaning sterile saline which can be used for contact lenses. Bottled sterile saline (0.9%) would be suitable for piercings, as it is used in hospitals on wounds. I've used it on my piercings with no bother. :)

    The only problem with that is once you open the bottle, use some and close it again, it's no longer sterile! The longer the bottle lasts, the worse it is. This is why it's better to use freshly boiled and cooled water with a little pure sea salt dissolved in it.

    True that Damo. But the methods that people use to soak a piercing is not an aseptic technique... therefore so long as one is careful to not contaminate the tip of the bottle, to get bottles that suit their needs (60ml, 350ml) and to discard as per instructions on the bottle, it is a viable option- especially when traveling. But I can totally appreciate that people prefer certain methods. :)

    NOOOOO it isnt

    as normal table salt is iodised salt which under goes a chemical process or something so instead of soaking your piercing in a sterile saline solution which is created by the natural sea salt and boiled water you are actually soaking it in a tainted solution which is useless and can cause problems and increase your risk of infection

    dont know if that is right but its basically is the jist of why NOT to use normal table salt
