23rd St is a very finely furnished and well stocked piercing studio, with enough high end jewelry to fill most any hole you've decided to have punched into your body. I can't speak for all of their piercing staff, but the gentleman who stretched my septum piercing was professional, pleasant, and genuinely honest and informative. If I could remember his name, I'd recommend him wholeheartedly. That being said, I would rather climb a mountain of broken glass mouth first than ever step foot inside this establishment again. After paying a $50 deposit for a particular piece of jewelry I happened to fancy but which also happened to be out of stock, I was told to stand by for a phone call letting me know when it had arrived. Ten days later, feeling a bit antsy, I decided to give them a call just to check the status of my order. I knew that my piece was about $100, making it FAR more expensive than anything else I'd ever jammed through a hole in my body, and I assumed that its price and the reflecting quality might lead to a longer turnaround time on ordering. However, when I called the shop and explained my wonderings to the lady who answered, she responded with "Did we call you? Because if we haven't called you then it hasn't arrived yet", sounding exactly like a high schooler who is sick of being harassed about her homework, rather than someone who gets paid to help customers over the phone and in person. So, knowing that I was waiting on a high quality piece of jewelry, I thanked her and exercised some patience. For a month. Sadly, after a month and a half total, I'd received no word, no call, and no hope that I was ever going to see the clicker I ordered. It's a shame, really. I was very much looking forward to that clicker. I thought I'd try Twitter, but that was no help either. So, if you happen to be on 23rd St and you're in the market for a piercing or some jewelry, do yourself a favor, and go somewhere else. Unless, of course, you like throwing your money away. If that's the case, this place is perfect for you. Just, please, make sure you don't call them before they call you. It REALLY pisses them off. Read Less
