I was visiting from out of town family from out of town and wanted to get my nipples pierced. I'm a review girl and this place had the best reviews. I'll start from the beginning
When my cousin and I initially walked in, we weren't greeted. We kind of just stood there for a good ten minutes before someone actually helped us. I told him what I wanted, filled out a piece of paper but had to go leave to go get cash. When we got back from the ATM down the road, everything was already set up and the paper was still sitting where it was left. So when I said everything was set up I meant, the packages were already opened and he was literally waiting for me. That should have been the first red flag. Meanwhile he didn't say a word to me besides, "sit here". Not in a rude way, but just, I was expecting some sort of salutations. Should have been the second red flag. So when I sat down, I was literally right by a window. Behind the front desk. Out in the open. With my nipple out. I'm not a modest person by any means but that was super off putting. At the end, he asked me it I had any other piercings and I said I had had my septum pierced and then my ears are stretched. He literally didn't tell me anything about healing time or how to take care of my piercing. Nothing. He talked to me after everything was said and done, which he was nice, I suppose.
Anyway, I'll speed forward a few months when I go get my nose pierced in my home state. I had started to notice that my nipples weren't healing as well as I anticipated. I mean, I knew from the internet that it would take about a year, but since it was about two months later I thought itd be a little better. So when I went to get my nose pierced and I asked the piercer to check my nipples.
When I pulled up my shirt, she did a double take. Literal double take. She said she didn't want to talk bad about another piercer but she asked if I had gotten pierced by a male. I said, "yes I did". She looked at me and said well I've noticed that males tend to pierce nipples too far back... So, that being said, since it's literally all areola that was pierced it'll take more time to heal. She told me I could keep them in, or take them out and get them repierced. It's all personal preference. Literally, this man from the shop didn't even frigging pierce my nipples, it was all areola. I decided to take them out and let them heal. I paid $100 just to take out the piercing. Obviously, I'll never go back there cause I'm from Virginia but this was my experience Read Less
