I got them to celebrate my freedom when I divorced him. I always wanted to. They look fabulous. I rarely change them from straight bars as it is hard to put them back in. Loops look nice, but it is easier to put straight bars back in. I find it hard to line the holes up. I think I lost sensitivity, but that is fine. It took them a while to heal. I got them in the near summer time. Never have regretted it. Hurt like Hades, the first one. Second is worse because you know what the pain is like. You have to hold still so the marks line up, but it is over soon enough. Use a shot glass with the salt they recommend for about 10 minutes each side to help healing. I love how they look. Hope this helps.
