Hello: I have two questions regarding this piercing.

1. How difficult is this procedure to get through as the piercee / does it vary wildly from person to person? Is the risk of rejection high? To what extent does it interfere with everyday life?

2. I live near Philadelphia. Can you recommend a practitioner in or near this area that is proficient in this procedure?

Thanks!

Hey Dane.
I was having Tapas with a friend last night, and I actually brought your question up. In this day and age, years after Cobb opened up Pandora’s box with the uvula piercing (Bonus History Moment: Patrick Bartholomew did one predating Jon’s) there’s still not a single piercer I’d recommend you to go to for it.

Furthermore, I’d go as far as saying “avoid anyone who says that they can do it”. This is a piercing that has risks that FAR outweigh it’s benefits. As a matter of fact, the only benefit I can think of is that, having one, you could SAY you had one.

Sorry to be a joykiller, but… again… we’re here to give you practical safe advice.
