I do recommend going here for a piercing but I don't recommend doing any hoop until your piercing is healed because it can effect the tissue in your skin and you don't want to damage anything (just trying to help with an infection as well.). I do like how friendly Kevin was and I will be going back for more piercings!

Really. NO STARS should be given…read more Do not go here for nose piercing. The coo screw piercing is archaic. My nose swelled so much, the stud embedded into my nose. I called to see if he could change the piercing, he didn't return my call, I went to "Stay True Piercing" in Newington and they were astonished by what the piercer at Transcend did to me. Said the method as from 1992. I was in pain with the most uncomfortable piercing. transcend may be good for,tattoos, but go to a reputable piercer. do NOT go here.
