Getting pierced is like getting tattooed. Either the piercing person is good and I mean good or not…read moreworth the time of day. My grandson had his ears pierced about 3 months ago and decided that grandpa needed to match him. Little did he know grandpa had 3 holes in each ear up to over an inch, the about 5/8" and 3/4" for many years plus the other 5 or 6 he still had. A couple of the piercers had conversations with me to see what I wanted. Been 12+ years since any jewelry had been in my loobs. Kaydence either drew the short straw or decided my patent was an old guy, and said she'd deal with me. Turns out with all this new jewelry that has come out she was able to slide a 12 gauge in the bottom hole with no issues. Now mind you they will pull out without much effort as the large holes have not closed up. We talked and decided to give it a try anyway as it's my 72 bday on the 23rd and I wanted to match my grandson. I leave out of state and might swing by on my way home to explore a couple other possibilities. But if you are looking for your 1st piercing or your 10th, I can highly recommend Modern Mods in the Arrowhead Mall. I can say that watching all the piercers, they are professional, knowledgeable, they want you happy as does the rest of the staff. When I started getting pierced and tattooed I was all of 16. I've also done a lot of piercings back in the day and taken care of my daughter's friends who got infections because they failed to follow simple instructions. We are a family of pierced and fully tattooed individuals. So go see the people at Modern Mods and get pierced. You will be pleased that you did. Thank you all for your help, you are the best. Also their shop is very clean and each station is cleaned before the next person is brought in. I'd rate this shop as higher quality.

This store took what was supposed to be a positive experience and absolutely ruined it…read more I brought my 4 year old in here to get her ears pierced!! It was explained to me before her ears were pierced that the piercing for a child under five was $60, and that upgraded earrings could be purchased for an additional fee. There was one rack of earrings that was included in the $60, a rack of titanium pairs made the lobe piercings $100, and a rack of 14k gold sets that would make the lobe piercings $200. Turns out, the upgrades don't include the piercing. So the titanium upgraded set would've made my total $160, and the gold set made my total $260. Not a huge deal, but would've been nice to have known that upfront. Never, ever was $260 stated by any staff member. I'm fairly confident that this issue happens often, and that they're not clearly explaining it because before she put the earrings in my daughter, she even explained to me that the upgraded price would be $100 per ear. During checkout, the girl was so argumentative about the upgrade price, even though I was completely willing to pay for it that she didn't even give me any of the aftercare instructions for my daughter's ears.. She even argued with me about it AFTER payment had been made cutting me off and trying to explain why she was right. I'm not positive at this point why she didn't offer to go get a manager or supervisor, because that would've been the correct thing to do. She was extremely frustrated and projecting on both myself and my husband after we had already paid about the pricing. We left mid argument because we were so uncomfortable AND left a tip despite her absolute horrible customer service. One of the oddest things about this place is the way that they respond to reviews. Go look at them. Anything negative is instantly blamed on the customer, they take O accountability. They instantly blame the customer and try and make it seem like absolutely nothing that they did was incorrect or confusing. It's also worth mentioning, this store prides themselves on offering a 10% military discount, buttttt when we got to the front counter, it was only THEN explained that that 10% only comes off the "service charge". So instead of $26 off my daughter's ears, it was $6.. I highly suggest you find a different location for all piercings. Not only was the customer service, greatly lacking, but our piercer was rude, and upon leaving we noticed a pretty nasty gnat infestation.. wonder if the health department has been out here lately?

He also has excellent knowledge on what is even possible based on your ear anatom. Old West has a little room with a professional medical table/seat for piercings. I wanted a certain orbital but he said not only is my ear not as pronounced there, it's a very complex healing process. Luckily I had already researched Old West & liked another orbital picture they posted to Yelp so that one was my second choice & Torin was all over it! He measured & placed it PERFECTLY. Plus I got a flat piercing & he placed that perfectly as well in comparison to my other piercings. His commitment to health & safety is unmatched & both piercing are healing so well with the saline solution I bought from Old West. I came back exactly a month to get the shorter post needed for my flat and it was just such a pleasure to show Torin how great they both look! Each time I was in there were multiple people getting tats and the piercings are like back-to-back so this is definitely a go-to place for both. Thank you Torin & Old West! Pic is exactly one month from the flat & side orbital piercing - orbital is 16g 10mm ring & flat is 14g bezel Swarovski crystal, both purchased from Old West.
