I went here a little over a year ago when they had their Massillon location (I was visiting my hometown before heading back east where I live) and was not impressed. There was one piercer, who I later learned was not associated with the shop - he was a guest from out of town and neither of the original owners were there, and a guy working the counter, who was also someone this piercer brought with him and not from the shop either. Took about 15 minutes before anyone noticed I was in there, except the 2 girls in front of me who had been waiting about an hour to get their belly buttons pierced (which is what I was there for as well).
I got the paperwork filled out and waited another hour and half for him to take the 2 girls back (the only other people in the shop) to do their piercings. In the meantime both the piercer and the guy working the counter were more interested in talking about the piercings they were gonna do on each other after the shop closed than the 3 girls in the shop - aka the CUSTOMERS.
The girls in front of my actually got to pick their designs and picked jewelry that had crystals on it, where as I was not informed of different piercing jewelry options. After they got their piercings done, paid, and left, it was still another 45 minutes before I was able to go back and get mine done, where I was immediately told by the piercer I was too fat to get it done and even if he did pierce it, it would grow outward from my skin because of how fat I was. It should be noted that I had researched this for several years because, as a size 6, I realize I'm not a VS model, but saw videos of girls multiple sizes larger than I getting it done with no problem and finally got the confidence to get it done.
He continued to say that I could come back the next week when the normal owners were there but they would say the same thing - I was simply too fat to get it done (I was leaving that night to go back home anyways). Needless to say, I was in tears and extremely embarrassed as this conversation took place within earshot of several other customers who had come into the shop by this point.
I returned home to Canada and, a few weeks later, went to a wonderful shop there that had no problem piercing my belly button. I actually had to take it out a few weeks later, unfortunately, due to a very unplanned, semi emergency surgery, and after I recovered I got it repierced at that same shop. A year later and I've still had no issues with it, it is still in the same position, with no signs of growing outward from my skin as was suggested.
I see that the same people still own this place in its new Canton location so I do not recommend it at all. read more
