Been wanting to get my ears pierced for years, but I was hesitant about how painful the experience…read morewould be and I never went through with it. 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.

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.

The situation escalated, and the owner became physically aggressive toward her. At no point was my friend rude, aggressive, or confrontational.

But I made an appointment for a big piece recently and it was the worst time of my life. Her hand was SO heavy. I have never flinched in any of my sessions and I was shaking profusely during this session. It was 5 hours, and by the middle of hour 2, I couldn't stop shaking. I apologized because I thought it was me, but it's been 3 weeks and it's not even remotely started to heal because of how deep it is. My skin is raised up and scared now, and I have canceled all of my appointments with her. The next day she posts her new work on social media and in her caption puts (and sitting like a rock) like that wasn't a jab at me. Pretty unprofessional.
