getting belly button pierced in Sacramento, Ca??

Question

where is a good place to get that done at?

a clean place

do you have the address?

Answer 1

Go out to downtown Roseville, in Placer Co. A place called "Wild Bills Tattoo and Piercings." Ask for Raleigh. Tell him Boof sent you.

Answer 2

Go check out some places, go in and ask questions. While you're there take a mental note of how tidy the place is. Are the people who are piercing/tattooing using medical-looking gloves? Usually the funny-colored gloves are more heavy-duty ones that protect the piercer from needles and blood. Regular rubber gloves like the kind that come in hair-color kits aren't as good.

When someone else comes in to get pierced, tell that person you want to get a piercing and ask them if you can watch while they get theirs. Watch to see where the needle comes from. You should see the piercer pull it out of a new, individually wrapped package.

Ask the piercer if he has a photo album of other piercings he's done.

Ask him what you are supposed to use to keep it cleaned out while it heals. (Provon and bactine are both good answers, maybe even antibacterial liquid dial at the cheapest level, and sea salt soaks are the bomb-diggity!) Bad answers would be Neosporin, dish soap, ointments of sorts.

A good piercer will most likely have a strong opinion of what you should or shouldn't use on a healing piercing. He will also tell you to keep your piercing out of the pool for MONTHS (so if you plan on swimming this summer, this is not the best time to go get pierced).

HTC is a good piercing company but they started in Phoenix, AZ so I don't know if they have any locations in CA.

Make sure the person who pierces you doesn't smell like booze. Make sure he seems awake and alert, not high on something.

If he reeks of BO or booze and he looks like a bum, then move on to the next shop down the road. And FYI, just because you're covered in tattoos and piercings doesn't mean you have to look and smell like a bum. Hygiene is a wonderful thing, and you don't want someone unhygenic to pierce your skin.
