Went to this shop to get my nose pierced and my mom's. Shes in her 50s and has never had a piercing besides her ear lobes so it was kind of a big deal. Firstly, this was the first time I've ever been pierced when I didn't have the "artist" have you pick your jewelry before being pierced. That being said, we BOTH told him we wanted super small subtle jewelry and instead of coming out with the jewelry options, dude came out with his tools and pierced us. Me thinking this is a professional, thought oh he's just gonna bring out the smallest stuff he has, NO. Not only was my mom not happy with how LARGE the jewelry was (mind you I've had many face piercings including both sides of my nostrils done so I'm not completely oblivious) they had smaller gems on display that we saw as we were walking out. So she asked after seeing how large the jewel was if she could come back before she left town (providing the dates and everything) to get JUST the gem topper changed to a smaller gem, not replacing the whole post and gem, he said yes. Fast forward to today, we call just to make sure he's available, not only is the shop closed the day he said he would change it, he's not willing to do so anyways because it doesn't fit the "healing timeframe". I get the healing process but you didn't even allow us to pick jewelry and then lied when we asked to get what we wanted later and not replacing the entire jewelry. BAD PRACTICE! I will be recommending and going to VA beach for piercings from now on, no one in this area is reputable. read more
