I was born premature in 1988 & i contracted Hepatitis C via blood tranfusion. I havent had any issues with it besides some fatigue from time to time but that's all. My question is I went in to get a navel piercing at one of the local shops and they told me because of my Hepatitis C I'd have to bring in a note from a doctor saying that I can get pierced. I respect their protocol, but do ALL shops do this??? Is there someone in Birmingham, AL that will pierce it w/o the inconvenience? My doctor is an hour & a half away! Someone please help; i just want my belly button pierced =(
