I got mine done about a year ago. Got it for my husband's birthday. I love it. It took me a long time to actually go in and do it. But the pain actually only lasted for 3 seconds. It's healed very nicely and I have to say, that was the best $50 I ever spent. The gift that keeps on giving

It's actually really easy to keep clean. Especially if you have a hand held shower head. It wasn't hard to work it into the whole cleaning routine. I did a lot of research before I made my decision and I talked to my piercer for a while. When you trust your piercer it's really not a hard decision. I'll completely heal in 6 weeks. It was easier to clean and take care than my nose piercing. I had sex the same night I got it done. You just have to be really gentle and wash up right after. Well, there are my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
