If I could give a 10/10 I would. Came to Myrtle beach for a vacation and since I had been talking about getting my Daith pierced for over a year, my husband and I decided why not now. We did our research and thank you Yelp for the reviews. Family friends who are local even recommended a couple of places. It was honestly a tough choice between Elite and Professional Piercing by Jackie. I was very happy to see that both had pricing available online instead of being shady and hiding it so that you ACTUALLY had to show up to find out prices, sorry not sorry to every other tattoo/piercing studio in Myrtle but I like to know what I'm getting into. The kicker? Elite includes the price of the jewelry, like most shops do and frankly should as well as the whole "numbing for extra fee" was desperately unappealing. (If it's that big of a deal, Walgreens/CVS have the same benzocaine/lidocaine gel for a lot less and really? Without an injection of it, the inside of the piercing area will STILL feel a needle going through it) Elite offers prices that are comparable to larger cities even on the west coast and you aren't getting suckered just because you're in a tourist area. After much talk and deliberation, seriously we spent a lot of time going over places to not just have a knee jerk reaction, we said Elite.We walked in, okay I practically ran in since the parking lot was filling up and I worry about wait times, there really was no need. The staff is absolutely professional and the wait times were truly next to nothing.ID is required and while waiting to get paperwork filled out we watched a lot of parents come in for their teenagers. I was amazed at how courteous they were to first timers and explaining SC law which requires a parent, ID, and if they don't have the same last name, also a birth certificate. Brittany is amazing! She let me have a little time to calm my nerves, and was very personable. Unlike some places I've been they have separate rooms for each piercer and not just curtains hung about for a feeling of privacy. She marked the spot, and let me double check it before sitting down. It was quick, not completely painless, it's a Daith after all, but quick and after the initial shock of the piercing it didn't hurt at all. She was great! Would absolutely go back again. Read Less
