my heart was thumping madly while reading this sweetpeaz and I thank you for sharing this as I have always wondered about piercing (good ole curious me...that will one day get me in trouble I am sure )
Anyone who can go in for needle play or fire for that matter...or get a piercing are certainly brave...as I have "thought and mused" about it for the last 4 years and find myself incapable of taking the next step.

Thank you for your caution and concerns also drusilla, that this will help each one of us

~hugs~
