I got mine done at a tattoo parlor/body peircing place in NH. I checked out a few places, but in the end, I opted for this place b/c two friends had gone there and had very good experiences. They said it was easy as pie and they had no infection. I think that I had an overly easy peircing, according to people that I have spoken to, b/c I literally felt no pain. I felt what running a safety pin needle across your tummy (just running, not realy putting any pressure) would feel like and then a tiny tinge of pain when she clasped the ring. It wa much easier than any ear piercing that I have ever had. By the way, I am a HUGE baby about pain and things like that so don't think I am saying this b/c I am a toughie! I was not numbed at all and it took literally ten minutes from start to finish (filling out paperwork, cleaning, etc.) with about a two second period for the piercing.
AND I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID IT! I don't have a perfectly flat stomach at all - in fact, I have a pouch and I would change my stomach if I could change one thing, but I am still wishing I did it ten years ago! More motivation for Ab work!
