so I decided to get a couple piercings, no big deal right, clean shop friendly people, good environment, no big deal right? boy was I wrong. so just for reference I got my tongue and my nose pierced the same day, back to back. initially I thought everything was fine and i was taking on normal swelling after new piercings, which is expected. Nope. my tongue was pierced with a 5/8" barbell that after 4 days of having it done, my tongue was literally trying to est the entire piercing. I had to go to a completely different shop to have another piercer look at it for me because when I called to see if the piercer who did the work could look at it I was told he wouldn't be in until the next day. Went to a different shop, had to pay another professional to fix the issue.The new shop put in the correct jewelry and it has been fine ever since, while I was at the new shop i went ahead and asked to check my new nostil piercing out to make sure it's good too, welp that wasn't pierced in the right spot. never once was I asked to check placement on my nose piercing to make sure I liked the placement. don't get me wrong, services were quick and everything seemed fine until I had a second set of eyes on everything. I called the shop to explain the situation because maybe they genuinely just made a mistake, well I was rudely told "what's the difference between a nipple ring (what my tongue was pierced with) versus a tongue ring" uh?! I'm not the "professional" here, but being that I have my nipples done, I know those barbells are shorter. no apology, no offer to make it better, the only response I got with my concerns was an "okay thanks." I was also asked if I was actually following the aftercare instructions that I was verbally told, yes I was to an absolute T. Not to mention that both needles were dropped on me, one would up under my thigh and the other wound up on the floor. From this experience, I will not be returning to this business, as the way this was handled was very unprofessional. read more
