Answer 1

Pain lasts different for different people.

They will tell you the aftercare..follow it!

The age limits are decided by the state that you live in.  Here it is 16+ with parent.  <16, no go no matter what.

Answer 2

It's not bad really.

clean it with warm water, that way it doesnt sting as much as using chemicals

Don't know the age limit i got mine done at the age of 12..... but i took it out last year... it's bugged me ever since.

Answer 3

the initial pain is over really quick, bu then it hurts like afterwards and then for a couple of days after you get it done, but its not too bad.

just follow the aftercare your piercer tells you too, but the best thing to use is a sea salt soak, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt with 1 cup of water, but it in a shot glass or something and hold it against your stomach, over the piercing, do that for 10-15 mins 2-3 times per day, to get the gooey stuff off just wet a qtip in the salt water and gently remove it.

the age limit with a parent is 16, i don't think any professional piercing place will even do it if your under 16 with our without a guardian

you don't really need to ask the piercer anything, most places will have awards and certificates hanging up around their shop, if they have a website, check it out and see some of their work.

before you go, make sure you have something to eat, if you get a piercing when your blood sugar is low, you'll feel dizzy and light headed after, other than than just relax and listen to what your piercer tells you.
