TL;DR: Go *literally* anywhere else for piercings and maybe only go to the tattoo side for the…read moreflash sales. I'm putting a review here under the tattoo shop to warn anyone who may see it about the horror that is the piercing side. As far as the tattoo side, I've only gone for flash tattoos and love them. My partner scheduled a couple pieces with Lori that overall came out ok, she didnt quite schedule herself enough time and started rushing towards the end though which was quite annoying. Now the real reason I'm signed back on to this dreadful app. Kim, the head piercer, is extremely negligent and as such has trained her newest piercer Jesse to be negligent. Kim pierced my partners lip and failed to give him after care instructions because I was with him and have 5 oral piercings(I didn't live in Myrtle at the time he got pierced). When he went back to her because he was having trouble with the healing, she put a much too small ring on it and was dismissive when she was told it was snug. I ended up calling Elite to see if they had time to take him and fix what she screwed up. When I went to get a flash tattoo for the Friday the 13th flash sale I had some time to kill while waiting for my partner to get called back, I noticed that Kim wasn't the one doing piercings so I gave the woman a chance and got my nostril done. This woman as it turns out was trained by Kim to believe that using a cork reduces swelling(it doesnt), and that the inside of the nostril doesnt need to be cleaned(it does) because the nose is "self cleaning". So instead of a sanitary piercing, she did not clean the inside of my nostril, shoved a porous object into my nose, stabbed through my flesh in a way that it hurt almost as bad as my nipple piercings, had to fight the cork out of my nose wiggling the needle in the fresh wound that she just created, then sent the needle that was just lodged in the now very dirty porous object, back through the wound to put *threadless* jewelry in my nostril which means that even though I know better than to not clean the inside of my nostril, I did not even have the *ability* to properly clean the new piercing because a flat back jewelry in a space as tight as a nostril doesnt lend much space to clean under. I am beyond livid. That is my 16th piercing, I have managed to temporarily salvage it from having to stay out and heal up wasting more money because I am actually competent enough to know how to heal a disaster but I shouldn't have to be going through the amount of effort I am going through to keep this piercing. I got my tongue pierced in someone's garage for free cuz some dude wanted to see my tits when I was 18 and that piercing gave me less trouble than this nostril.

He continued to try and rub the skin and push it through the skin even though it obviously wasn't working since the channel isn't right there?? Very painful and now i have a big red bump from him doing that. he very obviously must not know what he's doing. This made me very angry considering it was a careless dumb thing for him to do and could have easily been avoided if he would've known what he was doing and not been so careless...
