I generally don't want to leave negative reviews or do something that could affect someone's livelihood, but my experience was negligent and pretty avoidable.
I went in for a straightforward nose piercing. It was a re-piercing, so I am very familiar with how it is done and what to expect. The piercer was straightforward and not espeically personable, but hey, they don't have to kiss my ass and I'm okay with that.
What I was not okay with was the simple yet ridiculous rookie mistake made when the piercer shaped the nose stud in my nostril after piercing. I requested a corkscrew, which is most comfortable for me. I left it, took care of it, let it heal and when the time came to change it, I experienced so much difficulty getting it out of my nose. I didn't understand why, because this was my third piercing of that nostril and it is not rocket science. It turns out the piercer shaped the corkscrew for a right nostril. I had my left nostril pierced. Basically we are talking about the difference between clockwise or counterclockwise. I've never pierced my right nostril, so in the picture I attached you can see three left nostril studs and on the very left is the one from this business, clearly twisting in the wrong direction. Its a simple difference, yet matters, and is kind of silly to mess up. You only have two options.
It was very uncomfortable while healing (due to the fact that it didn't sit in my nose correctly), and when I took it out, I basically had to manhandle my nose because I was making a hairpin turn out of a pierced hole. It was painful, irritated my nose so it looked awful, and actually required more healing time after that. I just think it was a silly mistake for something so run of the mill. Read Less
