BelovedPet-
It will be up to my Master to decide. I have read and am dismayed by the long healing times as well- although since I am away from my Master for awhile that might mean that now is the perfect time for me to get them done. I hate the pain of getting them done and the long healing time... but love love love the look of them and the concept of being able to play around with them! Such a dilemma, eh?
Anyway- I will try and keep you updated on what happens. Maybe if I ever get them done there will be photos posted.
Also- what do you guys like better- captive bead rings or barbells?
