It has taken me a few days to edit the profanity out of this review. My wife and I brought my 12yr…read moreold daughter in to get her nose pierced this Tuesday, the 30th of June. I was delayed by a few minutes, so I arrived in the shop about 10 minutes after them. By the time I got there, they were both outside, with my daughter sobbing uncontrollably. From what they told me, the piercer decided to throw a bunch of scare tactics at my daughter, citing likely infection, and her friends laughing at her for the permanent hole in her face, etc. I was mortified, so I went in to ask the piercer what had happened. He told me that he "thought 12 was too young to get a nose piercing", citing maturity. My kid is extremely precautious, and made a wonderful case to me about having checked the risks. We went through them together, and my wife and I agreed to allow her. THIS IS OUR CALL TO MAKE, NOT HIS!!! To this very moment I cannot fathom what inspired him to corner my kid in his shop, and rip her a new one over something her parents had agreed to. His contractual agreement is with us, not with her. She is 12. Her agreeing with him, or not has NOTHING to do with him, as she is INTERDICTED from entering into a contract at 12. My wife tried to interject, and he ignored her. I simply cannot understand what he thinks gives him the right to undermine OUR JUDGMENT when it comes to OUR DAUGHTER!!! I used to be an Adranaline fan-boy, because the shop belongs to the family of a friend, and they were kind enough to invite us to a NYE party (Maestro Fresh Wes, y'all!). Not so much anymore, now that I know that they hire the morality police to second guess adult parents' judgment calls I am beside myself with rage that this moment, which was supposed to be a reward for her maintaining an above 80% average all year, was turned into a horror show, just because some little puke decided that he thought that, as a piercer, he is also the arbiter of the moral decisions of other families. For more than one reason, I will never step foot in that shop again, and will do whatever I can to spread the word about this little sphincter. The only reason there is one star here is because the app won't let me give zero stars. It also says that we spent between 1 and 200$ because that is what it would have cost had he not ruined her day. She literally cried most of the way home, and is now afraid to go to any piercer for fear of being publicly shamed again (I didn't mention that he said all this to her in the presence of other customers and staff, further shaming her in public... at 12).... Bravo, Sir. You wrecked a day that my child had been looking forward to (and working hard to deserve) for 6 months, and left her scarred.... all because you think you possess some kind of superseding authority on age-appropriateness.
