I went in less than a week ago to get my flat pierced (another form of helix piercing). I never…read morewrite reviews but I saw two others like my experience and wanted to share. The piercing was fine for the first 48 hours, but after, it started to throb tremendously. I have 14 other piercings including a conch, and have never experienced this pain. It got so bad I had to go to another tattoo shop to have it looked at. Turns out the jewelry was not medical grade and the post was so short, the swelling had caused the infection to form in the newly pierced skin. I ended up having to go to urgent care to get on antibiotics for the infection as my lymph nodes in my neck were swollen. I am extremely unhappy as I have heard so many great things about this shop. Plastic isn't for new piercings.

He helps you to feel at ease. Yesterday I got pierced for the 2nd time by him. The first time was to repierce my belly button after a tummy tuck. When I first went to have it done he educated me on how it was too soon to do it and my body would probably reject it. He advised me to come back in a few months and see if it could be done then. I did just that and he pierced it beautifully. No rejection. Yesterday I had him add a piercing to each ear. He patiently listened while I thought over and over about exactly where I wanted them. (Move it a little this way, move it a little that way) It is possible that I went with the original location that he chose. They look great.

At one point he even had the nerve to WALK to the speedway which is a half mile at least down the road. Said he would do a free touch up but when I came back to get it touched up he got all whiny and then said he would only do the touch up while doing a new tattoo and even says he doesn't really like the design I showed for the new tattoo. So unhappy with the service I've gone and had the tattoo re done elsewhere because every time I looked at it I would get irritated and the memory of Dan Coralto effing me over.
