This was my first time at the shop and I was referred by a friend because I wanted a tongue piercing but they said I didn't have the right anatomy and i took their word for it so I decided to look at the jewelry but was unaware that their jewelry is real gold which took me back because there are no prices displayed and the person who helped me pick out jewelry did not inform me, so after I ended up picking one septum hoop with nothing on it they swiftly told me my total was $200+ like it was nothing. I'm sorry but there should be a price conversation before even touring the jewelry because to be honest who has that kind of money to spend on a nose ring. Obviously I left empty handed.
After a couple weeks I came back to get my labret repierced because previously it was done too low. My end goal was a hoop and I told the piercer that. Now let it be known I have 3 nostril piercings, a septum, tongue ring, Medusa, and 14 ear piercings and not once have I been told to lay fully on my back for a piercing except for nipples and a belly ring which is self explanatory. Now when they had me lay down on my back I was confused, but trusting, then when they did not mark the inside of my lip or use a clamp I was taken back but still trusting because surely such a place with fancy jewelry and a clean layout with nice people who are so educated on body modification had to of know what they were doing. Now let it be known you can relax the muscles in your lip at first but when someone is taking more than 5 seconds to get the needle through your lip you're reflexes are going to kick in and tense up no matter what you do. First time the needle when through it was crooked AS FUCK I kid you not facing a 45degree angle. She then explained to me that I moved my lip so that's why it was crooked. So they asked me if I wanted to take it out and let it heal so they we couple come back to it at a later date , or they can pierce me again coming through the same hole and then she proceeded to tell me that it won't hurt as much the second time because the hole is already there which now thinking back on that I know she was on bullshit because that makes no sense . At this point I am crying and I was not willing to make the drive back out to lee summit so I said fuck it and let her pierce me again. This time it once again took her forever to get the needle through and it came out crooked AGAIN. I knew it was crooked but I thought hey maybe no one will notice. Also I have an anxiety disorder so I started hyperventilating after she pierced it the second time and we had to take a break for her to get the ball on. They took off the charge for the piercing fee but it should've been free in my opinion after nearly throwing me into a panic attack. When I got home I inspected it more throughly and right off the bat I realized the problem was that she SHE CAME IN CROOKED. Now my teeth are pretty straight , I used to have braces and such and the piercing was nowhere close to centered, the woman had pierced me at a 45degree angle. There was literally a scar from my old labret that was centered CLEAR AS DAY, she could've easily pierced me above the scar but nah she decided to go off the the side. I came in 20 min before closing so I guess that was revenge . Maybe she had a long day and skipped procedure and protocol idk all I know if she fucked up my lip so now I don't just have one scar from before I have 3 because when I realized how negligent her actions when I took that jewelry out. Like I said I wanted a hoop and with that piercing a hoop would've been side ways in my lip. She should've owned up to her actions and been real before letting me walk out the door with a clearly fucked up piercing. Also most piercing places don't do piercing fees, the piercing jewelry is what you pay for, y'all's shit is already expensive asf, there's should be no reason why I should be paying $60for piercing jewelry and $30for you to pierce it plus a tip.
