I have both mine done along with other body parts (chuckle - kartchick).
My suggestions are from both sides - the giver and receiver.
1. Don't get the ball closure jewlery. Spend the extra five bucks and get a nice barball - this allos you to clean it easier, reduced the risk of it getting ripped or torn and makes it easier to remove and replace. Depending on where you are I might know some people who can hook you up. I can get the jewlery at wholesale prices (surgical stainless steel barbells for $5.00 / they retail for $25.00 and up]
2. make sure the jewlery is sealed and has been autoclaved. The last thing you want is an infection.
3. Sit up straight - if you are leaning even a little you will end up with an off line piercing.
4. You may or may not get something called "a crusty". Thats a white liquid that is released from the pierced area - it dries on the metal or on your skin and if not cleaned it will hurt like hell if the jewlery slides into the flesh.
5. Get both of them done at the same time. After the inital pain fothe first one - you wont feel the second.
6. do NOT try to numb the area with anything - I tried this with my clit piercing and it was pretty bad. What happens is this - the are becomes swollen under the skin so when they piercer marks the site it looks lined up but once the anestetic (topical or injection) wears off the swelling under the skin goes away. Hence, a fucked up piercing.
PM me if you have any questions or want me to throw a few names your way.
