I know this may seem like a strange request, but does anyone know where you can by jewellery for a belly piercing? I havent been able to find any tatoo or piercing places...
Also, is there anywhere cheap to wash clothes like a public laundry or small bussiness that charge per kilo not per item?
Thanks gang!
There is a tattoo/piercing shop right near Jinma Fang 金马坊 (across Jinbi Lu from The Hump). Look for the Suning electric appliance store (up some stairs). It's on the floor above Suning, near a place that sells fruit smoothies.
There is also a tattoo shop in Kundu, can't remember quite where. It's a storefront on the ground floor of the Kundu "ring." It should be easy to spot. Just walk around the ring and look for guys with stretched ears and such. I know for sure they do tattoos but not 100% sure they do piercings. But just go in and ask and I'm sure they can point you to the right place - one of the guys has a split tongue and all sorts of metal hanging off his face.
Hope that helps.
P.S. - Don't look in his photo album if he offers you a look. There are some places that metal shouldn't be, IMHO.
Even though they're on every street corner in Hong Kong you don't really get laundries like that in mainland China, despite the well-known term "chinese laundry" which actually refers to laundries set up by chinese immigrants to North America in the early 20th century.
Its a shame but the laundry shops on the streets here only do per item and mostly dry-cleaning. I guess the wealthy have washing machines and the poor wash by hand. there is no inbetween.
Thanks for your replies. I managed to find the piercing shop and the owner directed me to a store in the DaGuan complex.
Next on the list:
Does anyone have a clue as to where I could buy a Nitro Buggy (its like remote control car but with a petrol motor and goes insanely fast- 80km + an hour... its like a toy car but for adults...) any clues??
