Fish Pedicure

Would you stick your feet into a pedicure foot bath and let little fish come and nibble the dead skin from your feet? At first, I thought this practice was quite disgusting, but the more I think about it, it makes sense and I think I could get used to the fish nibbles.

There are several concerns I have though....what if I were to accidentally squish one with my foot and what happens when the fish are full?? I mean seriously, what if I paid for a fish pedicure and the fish in my personal foot bath no longer wanted to eat dead skin....would I get a refund or what?? These are things I need to know! lol!!

I'm glad that fish pedicures are given in individual baths...in some places, the fish eat in a communal pool....ewwww. I know that's a normal thing in some places, but...ewwww!!! Click here to see some neat photos of the little nibblers....and a few communal pools...ewwww!!

Seoul Advice has written about a much better option in "Doctor Fish Cafe in Kangnam". Now that I could do no problem!!! I know it's kinda communal....but there's food and drinks involved which makes a difference! Seoul Advice didn't dig the drinks, but the photos of the drinks look very yummy...and the bread looks yummy too. Seriously, I think this looks fun...the communal pool..not so much! lol!!

Have you ever had a fish pedicure???

You know I read about this the other day and I'm not sure how I'd feel about it. It doesn't bother me in the sense that it might hurt, but I just don't think it really could work I guess.

I haven't had one, but I'm not sure I will given the chance. Seriously, it freaks me out!! I know the fish are harmless, but ewwwww! Plus, my feet are really ticklish, I might laugh myself silly! :)

For some reason I was intrigued so I tried it. Right after the "fish pedicure" I had a traditional pedicure that removed lots of dead skin.
Plus there was a fishy smell in the salon.
Don't waste your money.
