Q: Getting an ear piercing in China

Just seen the question about tattoos and thought of this. Anyone done it before? Are there places that are sanitary enough? I was thinking about reminiscing my youth days....

I thought any place that sold earrings could pierce. It just requires alcohol and the device is like a stapler. You could use a sterilized needle and cork or ice cube.

 I had one ear pierced before it became popular, when everyone else started, I didn't bother any more.

I generally try to avoid activities that involve being pierced with a needle here (wasn't there a disturbing question about having blood drawn recently?)

 

If you don't die from it though, you'll have a pretty bad-ass story though...

There used to be a tattoo van conveniently placed outside several bars in the Wudaokou area of Beijing. They did piercings too I believe. Good marketing strategy too - park outside a load of student expat bar and wait until around 2 or 3 in the morning until flocks of drunk students come and decide it would be a great idea to get their lip pierced/arse tattooed.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
