I was a little (a lot) nervous but she helped calm me down so much, and did a great job explaining what she was going to do, and all the after care. The piercings all look awesome and Bri was so gentle in the process. Highly highly recommend Permanent Images!!

I think $164 for just a single piercing in each ear lobe is much too expensive, I also know you get what you pay for and they did a fine job however I know there are a lot of clean knowledgeable friendly shops that are less expensive.

Let them know I'd be coming after work (literally told them I get off at 7:15 in Elgin) she said sounds good. Yesterday I get there at 7:45 and they were gone! No one was there. Called and sent them a fb message. Not once did anyone mention they stop taking walk in at 7:30pm. I drove 25 min each way. Gas is around $5 a gallon. Their response was even crazier. Blaming being short staffed on Sunday but that was irrelevant. Then also told me I have to pay for new jewelry even if it is their fault on sizing. I wanted to love them so bad. The shop is so cute and the girls are sweet. But the lack of communication is ridiculous. Especially since I messaged them before 7:30pm yesterday to say I'm coming!

Jamie was super personable and worked well with me as a first timer. We enjoyed talking about Harry Potter through my appointment! It's been 12 hours and my ears feel great and look perfectly fine. I'm overall very happy with my experience and recommend Jamie to everyone looking for a piercing whether you're a first timer or experienced. The shop was very sterile and Jamie did a great job of explaining what everything was for and how it was handled. My mind was put to ease with the amount of care that went into my piercings.

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.
