2009-09-08janna10101010NoI would like to thank Brian for taking the time to answer my question. We live in a very busy society, and I've found a lot of pierciers don't give you the time of day, even when you are in their 'shop', and yet Brian took the time to advise me without any cost or vested interest. Thank you. Janna

2009-08-26Margaret10101010YesThank u so very much for answering my question. You have no idea how much your words and knowledge have eased my fears and concerns. I was truly afraid there was something medically wrong with me. Now I am not afraid to try the piercing again and this time I will not panic if it starts to bleed again. Thank u for ur very speedy response (amazing!!). You have done me a world of good! ;)
