I've received one small tattoo from Nic and six piercings from Matt.I've had mixed experiences with the team. Matt has always been kind and courteous, but I don't think he's really being trained properly as an apprentice. Nic and Matt have both given me pretty bad advice regarding my piercings, and when I came in asking for help, Nic brushed off my concerns.Twice I was advised that I could change out my cartilage jewelry much sooner than I actually should have (within two months of a fresh piercing!), leading to terrible pain, prolonged healing times, and piercing bumps/scarring.Regarding some painfully irritated piercings, I asked Nic to take a look at them, and he briefly glanced at them and said they didn't look too bad. I was told to "just spray them with hot water in the shower for a few minutes, don't lay on them, and keep using sea salt solution, and they'll be gone in a few days." After a few months of no results, I changed tattoo shops because I didn't trust Straight Edge anymore. The new piercer told me I was on the verge of getting an infection because the jewelry wasn't properly sized and was seriously constricting the piercings. In addition, it had been put on so tightly that it took forever to undo so that we could put in the correct size jewelry.Overall, I feel like they mean well. After all, I wouldn't have gone back so many times if I didn't trust them at first. But I just got too much misinformation, and unfortunately, I didn't feel that Nic actually cared to help. Read Less
