NetGoth
A few years back there was a really cool site called NETGOTH, which suddenly vanished! I found out from a mate that the server had died and they couldn’t afford to get it repaired.
So it looked like it had gone forever, but one night Kev texted me that it was back up again, I have added it to the links page because this is the best site I have ever found, and if you are not a member then get on there and become one. GO NOW!!

I have had all of my piercing, bar(no pun intended!) three done there and
they are very good.
