Finally worked up my nerve to get a VCH - did for myself as an early b-day present. It's great. I had talked to Chrissy at 23rd St Body Piercing a couple weeks before about....she was totally cool. When I went in it was like 815pm and they take their last clients at 830. She talked to me some more about it and I picked out jewelry. We went back to the piercing room and while she was getting everything ready we talked and she made me feel so comfortable. She told me to take a couple of deep breaths and it was over with in no time at all. I have to admit when the needle came out the top it hurt like hell!!! But it's totally worth it....only a week old now and I can't wait for it to be totally healed. It alreay feels pretty good and it looks really good too!! I would totally recommend it.
