Hip piercings in Alabama ?

Question

really need to know if there is a PROFESSIONAL piercer that would give two minors a surface hip piercing for a reasonable amount of money in Alabama.
Perferebly in Cullman or Birminghan or around there. We can't get our 'rents to sign permission because they believe piercings and tattoos are against the Bible or something. Also, if you have any tips on how to keep up aftercare on the surface piercings so the chance of rejection is lowered, feel free to let me know.
Thanks.

I have absolutely no idea of where good piercing shops are located in Alabama, but you're probably not going to find a good, safe, clean one that would be willing to pierce minors without parental consent, you see what I mean?

For future reference though, once you find a good shop and turn the proper age (or get fake pieces of ID), you aren't going to want surface bars on your hips. Really, it's a tricky piercing to pull off. If done exactly correctly, most surface piercings should have an 80% success rate, but I don't know if that includes the hip (you're going to have a lot of irritation from clothing unless you're a nudist), and quite frankly, perfectly done surface piercings are a little hard to get. I've heard one pro say that they've never done a fully success hip piercing with a surface bar. They always rejected.

What you'll be wanting instead are micro dermals (or possibly dermal anchors, but I'm pretty sure micros have a lower rejection rate). They're basically little pieces of metal you get anchored into your skin, with a ball protruding and removable from the surface. If you got two of these together beside each other, they'd look like a surface bar, and work even better.
But if/when you plan on getting these, do your research. You may have to travel a bit to get them done by a piercer who actually has experience with micro dermals, considering they're a relatively new procedure. I'm afraid I don't know of any piercers who do micro dermals, in your area or anywhere else, but you could probably ask the fine folks on www.bmezine.com

So, yeah, I guess you better be pretty serious about getting these. =P Good luck to you.

Answer 2

Never heard of a hip piercing. Heard of hip replacements. Lip piercing, sure.
