Came here on the recommendation of a friend. They were having Friday the 13th piercing specials, so why not.I wanted my tragus and cartilage done. The dude (can't remember his name. he's the one on the commercials, the one with the long dark hair, and beard. you know, the sleezy looking one. yeah, him), came out and asked me twice what i wanted.

He said I couldn't get a refund, but assured me that he would use a needle...and he did. But the problem was, the jewelry. It did not come from a sterile package. He pulled it out of one of those bulk earring displays. I just couldn't win that night.I left with blood dripping down my ear from the tragus.Luckily for me, my piercing are healing just fine despite the bs.He hugged me and thanked me, and followed me out to my car which was little weird, but yeah...
