I have gotten multiple piercings done before and this was hands down my worst experience. When I was getting my conch pierced he didn't mark the spot, he just aggressively shoved the needle through. The next few days following the piercing, my ear bruised and was constantly throbbing. Then 3 weeks following the piercing when the pain finally stopped. The end of the piercing went THROUGH my ear. Yayyy! So I went to a new piercing shop to see what had happened. The lady was then shocked at how badly the piercing was, she said that the piercing was crooked and the back was almost in my neck. I think her exact words were "I don't think he was looking when he put the needle through". She also said the earring that he used was way too small and was squeezing my ear (explains the bruising and constant throbbing). Following this it took her 5 TOOLS to get the earring out of ear. So here we are now. I'm out $50 and have an infected ear. Moral of the story: go somewhere else read more
