Q: Getting an ear piercing in China
Just seen the question about tattoos and thought of this. Anyone done it before? Are there places that are sanitary enough? I was thinking about reminiscing my youth days....
I thought any place that sold earrings could pierce. It just requires alcohol and the device is like a stapler. You could use a sterilized needle and cork or ice cube.
I had one ear pierced before it became popular, when everyone else started, I didn't bother any more.
I generally try to avoid activities that involve being pierced with a needle here (wasn't there a disturbing question about having blood drawn recently?)
If you don't die from it though, you'll have a pretty bad-ass story though...
"this one time in China, I got drunk and got my tongue pierced"
There used to be a tattoo van conveniently placed outside several bars in the Wudaokou area of Beijing. They did piercings too I believe. Good marketing strategy too - park outside a load of student expat bar and wait until around 2 or 3 in the morning until flocks of drunk students come and decide it would be a great idea to get their lip pierced/arse tattooed.
