Ximending Laotouzi de Dian is a hand-piercing shop in Ximending, Taipei, that does ear, lip, tongue and cartilage piercings. Ear cartilage, tongue and lip piercings are done quickly by hand, with little pain. A piercing done 13 years ago and a navel piercing from the same period are still in place, and the shop explains the procedure beforehand. Piercings have become inflamed afterward, so aftercare needs attention.
