Finally got my VCH yesterday I have wanted one for years. I am so happy I finally got it. I met my hubby at the piercing shop. We went in I let the girl behind the counter know what I wanted. She informed us that the piercer was piercing someone so it would be a few minutes. No problem we looked around the shop at the different jewelry displays. When the piercer was done with her previous client she called me back to do a consult to see if a VCH was a viable piercing for me. She said my hood was perfect for the this placement. So we wen back up front to pick out jewelry and get everything ready for the autoclave. I ended up picking a curved 12 gauge 3/8 stainless steel barbell. It took about 10 minutes for the autoclaving process to be competed. Hubby came to the back for moral support. He held my hand while the piercer had me breath in and out she pierced me on the out breath. There was a quick sharp pain that made me jump she put the jewelry in and I was done. All in all the exeperience was a lot smoother than I expected. I can hardly wait for it to finish healing.
