Asked By:ninag in Maryland, MD

Hello everyone, I have had my piercings for about 5 years now and I need to take them out before I leave for a work trip to a culturally sensitive region. I welcome any suggestions on the type of incisions, timeline, cost, etc. If it helps, I am 25, female and African American.
