Thanks guys I've heard it's best to use the staple shaped bars, as it puts the least stress on the skin? And the piercer I use is a good reliable guy, so that side of it should be ok. Dan Clark and Rocks370, do yours tend to get in the way at all? Where I want it should be just high enough not to get caught on belts/jeans so it should be ok, but does it restrict what you can do at all?
