I have had my hood pierced 3 times. And I love it. I got it pierced in 03 the first time and I was so scared because other then my tongue I only had my ears pierce by a gun. SO i thought it was going to hurt really bad. The guy who pierced me was sooo awesome. It didnt hurt just a small pinch and thats it. I had to get it repierced because it got yanked out by a guys lip ring. But i did get it done again 3x now and I will always love it.
