i went here on my 18th birthday to get my tongue pierced. i got a tongue piercing by ""shamrock."" after he pierced me, he tried to screw the ball on the top, but kept dropping it onto my jacket. he said it was still okay to use. i was appalled, but i didn't say anything about it. after piercing, i looked at it in the mirror, and it wasn't straight! i asked him what the deal was, and he said something like ""oh just wait until it's healed, it'll be perfectly straight."" i waited for him to tell me how to take care of my new piercing, but it didn't look like he was going to. i already knew how after researching tongue piercings on the internet, but any ""professional"" piercer would have explained it without my asking. he didn't even give me an aftercare sheet! after a month i decided to change the barbell to a shorter one, and i discovered that the barbell he pierced me with was externally threaded. externally threaded jewelry means it's low-quality jewelry. any piercer should know that internally threaded is the way to go. also, the piercing still wasn't straight. i kept it for 1 1/2 years before deciding to retire it. here is another reason not to get pierced here: my brother was skating by that shop recently, and said he saw (and smelled) them smoking ganja in the back. they are getting stoned on the job, which is unacceptable. maybe that's why they couldn't pierce my tongue straight. i have since gotten it re-pierced, and now it's perfectly straight. if you're thinking about going here, i suggest you research other shops. i'm giving it 2 stars because they had sterile equipment, and a clean studio.
