I called before arriving as I was curious to see if the piercer could put a clear retainer in my nose instead of a stud when he pierced it. Mind you, this was not my first nose piercing nor was it my first piercing in general. I was told this was not possible, and that if I needed to hide the piercing for work, I can just put a bandaid over it. (Thanks, genius.)So I arrived and was trying to make small talk with the piercer (dark hair, dermal face piercing, lip ring) and he was incredibly curt with me. I brushed it off because maybe he is just quiet.I asked him if they sold hoop nose rings for when I eventually want to swap mine out and he said that I need to have the hoop "custom made"...which isn't necessarily true...I could just buy a hoop. I also asked if it was possible to put a different type of nose ring other than the "L" shaped rings, as I have had my nose pierced before and the bent part always manages to turn and stick out of the nostril. He informed me that he would rotate the bent part into my nostril so it wouldn't be a problem...? Right...but what happens when it rotates? He said it wouldn't unless i messed with it...also untrue.I'm sitting there thinking that I really shouldn't let this guy stick a needle through my nose, but I do anyway because I already paid him. I asked him if he could please talk to me to distract me...and he just stuck the needle in. He didn't sanitize my nose, he didn't verbally explain the aftercare. If this was my first piercing I would not have known what to do...Unhappy but still pleasant, I left. Unfortunately, my car is rear wheel drive and I was not able to back up over the snow and ice. I tried to get myself unstuck for about ten minutes, but couldn't. Β Mind you, I'm directly in front of tattoo bobs. I walked in and explained the situation and asked if he could assist me. He sighed and asked the owner (Bob) if he wanted to help me get my car out. Bob loudly sighed and said, "not really..." As he was putting on his jacket.Are you kidding me? I refused their help and walked out. I spent another 15 minutes trying to get my car over a tiny snow mound until some random people took 2 minutes to help me.All in all, very bad customer service. I know you guys don't make much off of piercings, but if you're going to act like an ass anytimesomebody comes in to get one done, don't advertise how cheap they are. That's how to get a bad rapport and make people never want to visit your shop for tattoos (which I'm in the market for). I will not be returning. Read Less
