I don't usually write reviews unless I really feel like someone needs the recognition for something that I thought was absolutely amazing, or if I had an awful experience somewhere and think the company/person needs improvement on something that I don't want someone else going through what I did there. Anyways, let me get on with my story... Sooooo, I've wanted my nipples pierced since I was in like high school (I'm 28 now) but I was always too scared to get them done thinking something would go horribly wrong, or that it would be excruciatingly painful. My girlfriend and I were eating dinner and doing some shopping at fashion square when the subject of piercings got brought up and I told her that I've always wanted my nipples pierced, so we went online and typed in "piercing shops near me" and Club Tattoo was the first one to pop up and had awesome reviews! So we made our way over just to see the pricing and if I felt that that was the right place for me to get it done. As soon as we walked in I knew that was where I wanted to get my piercings done at (if I was going to that is). The shop was so clean and the staff was beyond friendly and so helpful with everything. The front desk girl was super helpful and went over basic pricing with me and I was really surprised at how cheap it was (they were making it easier and easier for me to actually grow some balls and get it done)... shop was clean, staff was amazing, pricing was extremely reasonable... 3 for 3! Now I just needed to meet the person that was going to do my piercings, and if I felt they were good, I would finally get the piercings I've always wanted! As my girlfriend and I were looking at the different jewelry, the most badass chick with the nicest demeanor approached us and introduced herself. As soon as Emily came out and started talking to us, We clicked instantly and I knew that I was finally gonna get those piercings!!! Wooo! She totally put me at ease and was just super chill, my nerves weren't shot anymore once she started talking to us and explaining the whole process. She told me to go ahead and pick what jewelry I wanted (if I wanted something other than the basic silver barbell) and that she would be out after she was done doing the piercings ahead of me. She really saved me money by telling me that I should just go with the traditional one for now and later on I can always get something fancier. I loved that she wasn't pressuring me to buy some super expensive jewelry (as you know most places would do). After picking out what I wanted, we were waiting about 10 minutes and she came and got me... ok my nerves are shot again and I'm freaking out at this point. Emily had me come in the room (she could probably tell I was freaking out on the inside but still trying to hold it together so I didn't look like a wimp ) we talked for a little bit while she was getting everything ready and sterilized. She went over what I was going to feel and every step she was going to do before she did anything. She just made me feel safe and answered every question I had and I felt so at ease, like I was talking to a friend. Emily had me stand and she measured and marked different areas, asked me different questions about how my nipples are when they're in a relaxed state, if they're flat or rounded, she was just super thorough and really took her time making sure everything was going to be perfect for me. You can tell she really loves and takes pride in what she does. She had me look in the mirror and make sure that I liked the spot they were in... it was perfect! Now I was ready!! She had me lay on the table and just continued to talk to me to ease my mind and assured me I was going to be fine as she was sterilizing the area Iwas getting pierced. I loved that she explained everything before, and as it was happening as well. Once she was ready, she had me take a deep breath in, and just as I was exhaling I felt a sharp poke/sting (literally for .2 seconds... that's it) she pulled the needle out, than quickly and painlessly put the ring through and boom, it was done. The process for one was max 5 seconds. She was such a pro. Now time for the second one... I knew what was coming now and I was ready. Ok the second one was a little longer of a pinch but the pain went away instantly!!! It was crazy how fast the pain was there and than gone for both of them! I seriously couldn't even tell that they were in by the time I had left (and I still can't, almost a week later). I can't believe I was freaking out all these years thinking it was going to be excruciating or something was going to go terribly wrong. All in all, my overall experience at Club Tattoo was amazing!!! Emily made it a million times better with how professional and great she was! I will absolutely be recommending Emily to anyone that ever wants any kind of piercing done!!! Thank you so so much Emily for making my experience absolutely perfect in every way possible! Keep up the amazing work!! Read Less
