I just saw this place pop up as #1 as "best tattoo spots near sackville nb" and was completely…read morebaffled as to how they've even managed to stay open, I had an awful experience with them at 16 (two years ago) and left a review in which the owner replied to and argued nonsensical points that i had already gone over in my original review, such as telling me "you got to choose the placement" after i had stated he pierced it completely off centre (inverse labret) and didn't even use the dot as a reference (the entire point of the dot), i did choose the placement, your employee failed to put the needle where i had him mark, he also took 20 seconds to get the needle through the back side of my lip (i have a video recorded by my sister.) I had later heard from someone who allegedly knew him personally, i was telling her my awful experience and she told me she actually knew the guy i was talking about and that he did not at the time have any proper certifications nor did he attend the schooling/apprenticeship he would need to be piercing people, not to mention their studio was in a garage and they took cash with no tax lol, moral of the story do not go to this horrific studio. I would love another complete bs reply Rileigh!

Sorry if this is all over the place, my thoughts aren't the most organized. That being said, this…read moreis an amazing establishment to visit and frequent for all of your piercing adventures and inquiries. I honestly can't recommend the Skin Decision crew enough. I've personally only had experience w Billie in their Truro location, but I can only imagine that the rest of the team in the Truro and Halifax studios are just as welcoming and as professional as Billie. They are a very clean, and professional studio that prides themselves on ensuring the safety and satisfaction of their clients. I've been a few times now, and have many more trips planned for the years to come! Billie is very friendly and has great ideas to suggest to curate you the ear of your dreams. All jewelry is laid out front in a simple and organized manner when you walk in. Billie will hold up the piece you'd like to your ear, so that you can make a final decision on your jewelry. Billie is amazing and gives you a break down of what the subtotal price comes to before any piercing occurs, to make sure it is within your budget. The entire space is clean and spatious, and proper sterilization procedures are kept in place to reduce the risk of any infections. Bille was amazing and checked in w me before, after and during the piercing and jewelry insertion process to ensure I wasn't in any pain or discomfort. They talked me through the steps, letting me know when they were ready to slide the needle in my ear. They also marked the place they would be piercing me and let me confirm it after looking in a hand mirror, to ensure I was content w the placement. My very first trip there, Billie gave me a rundown of proper aftercare to allow my piercing to heal easily and properly, before they pierced my ear. They were very easygoing and acknowledgable about proper anatomy, sterilization, styling and the actual stabbing of the ear! Not only is Skin Decision friendly and professional, they are also progressively open and accepting of all people, including the LGBTQ+ community, and they aren't shy to speak about their support on their social media! They are the most chill and down to earth store I have ever been to, especially in rural Nova Scotia. As the only APP approved piercing team in all of Nova Scotia, they carry a wide variety of brands including NeoMetal, Industrial Strength, BVLA, Alchemy Adornments, etc, to ensure that their implant grade titanium, Niobium and 14k gold jewlery and plugs are made of quality and are bodysafe for everyone. They have different price ranges w quality and beautiful jewelry that are accommodating of all budgets. You can browse their jewlery on their website online in advance to see if there is a piece in particular you would like. Any piercing you can think of, if you have the anatomy for it, they can provide it! If you're not sure your anatomy is correct, they will be upfront about if it is or isn't. If it isn't, they can advise you on something else you may be interested in instead. They are built on respect and integrity. Any questions you may have, they answer without judgement. They are swift in replying to messages on their website about how to book appointments or about jewelry they carry, including the owner Julie, who has been so kind as to answer inquiries I have about ordering jewelry online. (The shipping is free here in NS!!!!) Skin Decision is the only place I plan on getting pierced at as long as I live within NS. The drive up is worth it and I feel like a million bucks each and every time I leave. Their kindness and their ability to make your experience a comfortable one goes a long way. Not only that, but you can tell the staff love their jobs and are happy to be there. Next time you're thinking of booking a piercing appointment, book them! You won't regret it.

However, I've decided not to return because of a troubling experience with the receptionist, Crystal, and the owner, Michael, who were both exceptionally rude to me on the phone. In the competitive beauty industry, customer service is what sets you apart -- sadly, this operation isn't interested in providing customers with a good experience beyond what happens in the stylist's chair.
