Well. I have a couple of things. I'll just go right into it. 5 years ago, I got my nose pierced. I was nervous as hell but the piercing artist knocked it out of the park. Made me, my mom, and my friend feel so comfortable. It healed amazing. I did get an irritation bump, but I'll admit it's because my 15 year old self couldn't get over the fact that my mom actually let me get it and I couldn't stop touching it for the life of me. But 5 years later it has healed beautifully. I'll have it for many many years. 3 years ago, I got my belly button pierced by the same artist. She was awesome again. This time I got no infection because I left it alone, I have no complains. Still have the piercing. 3 years ago, I got a second piercing done on my ear lobes. Different artist, was kinda bitchy but did a good job and I still have both of them. Healed beautifully. Here's where things start to go downhill.....2 years ago I got my industrial. WHAT. A. SHIT. SHOW. for one, an industrial is no joke. My best friend got hers done and was like "I love it, but it hurts like a bitch". I still wanted it. I went to body jewel and the same girl that did my lobes was going to do my industrial. I was annoyed because I remembered how rude she was, but she's good at her job so it's no big deal. So I thought. This woman goes to put the needle in and literally slips. I felt the slip and watched her hand slip. I thought it was in my head until I looked at the mortified expressions on my mom and best friend's face. I was instantly pissed when she didn't even acknowledge the slip. The piercing healed terribly. It was so incredibly infected and each time I went in they advised me to clean it and NOT remove it. I finally had to go to my doctor that removed it immediately and the second it was removed a disgusting about of puss and blood spewed from the piercing. It healed days later, and felt 50 times better even though they told me that if I took it out I would experience a horrible infection. That was wrong. I shouldn't had gone back, but I did. Last year before my vacation in June I went to get my Tragus pierced. The girl who did my nose and the other first few piercings did my tragus. Unfortunately, she didn't tighten it enough and it came out in the middle of the night. When I went back the next day she replaced the jewelry and re-pierced me for free. Awesome. Then 2 days later it fell off again while I was DRIVING to vacation. Which means it was pressed up against absolutely nothing. I called them that day and told them I'm on the road to Florida, but I am calling now so you know when it truly fell out which is only 2 days after leaving the shop. When I went back again after vacation it had obviously closed. They told me that I am obviously playing with it and need to stop touching it. I explained that the only time I ever touch my piercings is when I'm cleaning them or when they are healed and I'm changing the jewelry ever since the disgusting irritation bump I got on my nose when I was 15. They told me it was 100% not their problem. They wanted to charge me an entire fee again because they couldn't taper it and refused a refund.Won't go back, unfortunately. Read Less
