I already had two piercings with butterfly backs but no one mentioned there is a different kind of back now where you screw a microscopic post into a tiny hole. I had to take them out for an MRI and can't get them back in because I have paralysis in my thumbs and arthritis in my hands. I called to see if they could exchange them for the type I wanted because I can't use these and he got very defensive. He kept telling me he has a client with 4 fingers and only one hand so my disability shouldn't be a problem. If he can overcome his then surely I should overcome mine, he insisted. I felt like I was talking to a child. There was no apology for the miscommunication, no offer to try to reorder them or take them back or even issue some kind of credit. He just kept blaming me, saying I should have asked when I came in wearing butterflies and having no idea these others existed. The bottom line: They don't take an ounce of responsibility for anything and are incredibly rude to someone who spent hundreds of dollars on something she can't use. Telling me I am wrong about my disability and insisting I can pay them to teach me to do it was the icing on the cake. You don't tell a disabled person that their disability isn't real and they can do something they can't if they really wanted to. I would rather pierce my own ear with a rusty nail than set foot in this scam of a place again.

This is a very cool place with nice, interesting, helpful employees. I bought a well made cap.read more

my friend and i wanted same day piercings, but it's hard to find in northampton. we booked an…read moreappointment for the next day with Lindsay. they got their ears pierced, and i wanted my navel [redone after 9 years]. landon helped us with setting our appointment and picking our jewelry. for the navel, they have you choose your top pick for jewelry and a backup 2nd style in case your anatomy doesn't work with the jewelry you picked. i was sure which jewelry i wanted, and because i had my navel done before, i was confident that i'd get my first pick. when it comes time to get my piercing, lindsay was very thorough when it came to explaining everything and making markings for placement. unfortunately she said my anatomy wouldn't work with my first pick for jewelry, meaning i had to spend $100+ on a piece i wasn't thrilled about if i wanted to move forward. i almost cancelled, but she said she could potentially place it in a way so that when it healed (in a year), i would be able to use the jewelry i wanted. i've had over 16 piercings in the past, but i removed most of them, so it had been about 10 years since i had any piercing. i'm pretty experienced though. i picked the flower floating navel jewelry and it looked better than i anticipated. i did end up having issues with the disc which caused swelling, discharge and bleeding. my friend loved their ears, and it was very quick minus the markings. i do like that she took her time making sure the markings were in the perfect spot. the place is cute, filled with quality jewelry and decorated with crystals, snacks while you wait. update after 3 months: i had issues healing with the disc, and when i wanted a piercer to check it out at their sister store, they wanted a deposit to look at it. i had a lot of pain and was very nervous if it was infected. i was somewhat surprised they wouldn't even let you walk in without paying, but not so much as they wouldn't take a same day appointment and had a similar attitude. i had to go elsewhere where they looked at it (for free!) and gave me my options, i paid for the ball they switched out the disc for, and surely tipped due to great service. it did feel like they didn't care for our business initially, and they look at you a certain way if you look like you don't have any experience with body mods. i know that is typical for many piercing places which is why i gave them the benefit of 3 stars and not less.

I saw a lady at a bakery near me with some really amazing tats. Asked her where she got them and…read moreshe said Thomas at Red House Irons in Fitchburg. A little while later my wife and I both wanted some new ink (in her case a touch up and augmentation to an existing tat) so we went to see Thomas. Liked him immediately and since we both had seen his work, booked appointments. So today was the day and it was awesome. We are both stoked with our ink, enjoyed the hang and conversation, felt like we met a new good friend and could not recommend Thomas any higher. For us, there is only one place to go and to recommend. You will not be disappointed. I'd give him 10 stars if I could.

He is easy to work with and considerate of whatever your design or idea is. Jessie the piercer is a wealth of knowledge with piercings. I highly suggest scheduling a consult for your tattoo and letting Thomas work his magic. I know for mine (arm sleeve) we sat on the couch and talked for almost an hour about the tattoo and my ideas for it while he listened, asked questions, and drew up designs in front of me. His original design on his sketch pad was amazing to see, but even more so after he refined it, re-drew it, and it became a reality on skin. The shop is obviously loved by its owner and staff. Extremely clean! I've walked into plenty of shops and it just feels like an operating room, but here it feels very comfortable while still remaining a sterile space. I love the unique art pieces on the wall as well!

I found this place from the website of the Association of Professional Piercers. It was one of…read morethree places in Worcester that is a member of that organization so you know they'll be professional. And then honestly I chose them because the name reminded me of Harry Potter, lol. I had gotten my ears pierced back in the 1980s and one hole had since closed up so I needed it repierced. This place was amazing! A very peaceful atmosphere. Clean, quiet, welcoming. Robyn was great. She explained everything to me and kept me totally apprised of what she was doing. They had a great selection of earrings. I went back for a free follow-up about 4 months later and to get the post downsized (they start you out with a longer post in case your ear swells). There was just one part of the process I'll mention that didn't make sense. When I walked in and before anything was done, I had to sign a waiver. Which is fine, but one of the questions was "Have the aftercare instructions been explained to you?" Which of course is no right when I've walked in. Nobody is going to tell you about after care before you've even had the piercing done. If I had gotten these instructions right at the start I'm sure I wouldn't have remembered them after I left because I was thinking about the upcoming procedure. I'm sure this is an industry-standard form but this question doesn't make sense. Robyn did explain the care to me after the piercing, which is as it should be. So back to my experience. The actual piercing hurt much less than I was expecting based on the earring gun at the shopping mall decades ago. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 2. (Contrast this with the mall gun which was about an 8 at the time). I don't have a lot of piercings so I probably won't ever have the need to go back, but if I ever did want to have another piercing done, this is definitely where I would go. I highly recommend it. And I got a goodie bag when I left containing saline solution, a sticker, and candy! What could be better?
