    I hate to be a "karen" and didn't want to leave a bad review. I reached out to this shop via email…read moreback on June 13th with photos to try to come to a resolution as I didn't feel the outcome was at all desirable. I received zero response. On June 8th on a whim I popped in to get two nostril piercings. I was able to be taken on the spot and all the hygiene practices were good and the process was easy. Two decades ago when I got the same piercings, they used a ball ended straight piece of jewelry, they used L-shape here. I followed all protocol regarding cleaning and keeping the area free from infection. But as the slight swelling began, my husband and I could t help but notice within 3 days the piercings were sunken into the hole. It was not only painful but not sustainable. By June 11th I called the local shop in Coeur D'Alene where we were presently on vacation. The gentleman working there wanted me to come in then, but he had no an availability, so he kindly came in early the following day as we had prepaid activities I needed to attend and he felt the matter was urgent. When he saw the jewelry he was surprised as he said it wasn't a type he sees often for new piercings and didn't account for swelling. After replacing the L-shaped with labret jewelry and $135 later, my new piercings felt way better and I haven't had an issue since. I'm disappointed in my outcome and believe it was completely due to the type of jewelry used. It's also disappointing to not receive a response from the business in over a week. Yet I'm sure I will on here promptly. It's easy to say "do your research" about going to a location but there were only 8 reviews previously.

    Very cute shop with good vibes and very nice people, I can't wait to see how my tattoo turns out:)read more
