Me and my boyfriend was searching for the best place for getting ears pierced and decided on Classic 13 because of there reputation and high ratings on Yelp. Since no appointment was needed, we came shortly after they'd open. The piercing process wasn't as bad as I had thought and it felt more like a pinch on the skin. Logan did a phenomenal job on making my experience a pleasant one and I surely recommend this place for anyone who's looking to get their first piercing.

Aaron and the artists do amazing work. The shop is clean, the work areas are private, and the vibe is always right. They have some amazing comics and books.

Large selection of latest release comics were on display and were easy to browse. Sorted by brand (Marvel, DC and Independent). The center of the store is full of graphic novels, the back edges and display case (at counter where you pay) is full of back issues dating back to Golden Age. Didn't investigate pricing too much, but on the surface it felt like they had reasonable pricing. Staff was friendly and interacted well with the customers. This is kind of out of the way for where I typically am, I would for sure pop back in if I was in the area.
