I had been thinking about doing my nose once more, so when we went in with my young niece to get her ears pierced and I saw how calm and chill Morgan was, I decided to get it done. I did inform them that I had gotten a bit faint during past piercings, but forgot about a few other times during blood donation and a skin biopsy when I did totally pass out and was told I had a "bit of a seizure," during those occasions. The piercing went smoothly, but ever since having a child and getting older, I do think my anxiety can peak higher and right when the piercing was done, I felt my body "whoosh," into profound nausea. The next thing I knew, I was waking up out of a quick dream and found out I had passed out and seized pretty dramatically. My sister-in-law and the kids saw the whole thing, so it really meant a LOT that Morgan was calm and assertive through the whole thing. She helped me feel less humiliated than I otherwise would have, and was patient and kind about the whole thing. And I have a very pretty nose stud! Thanks, Morgan!

She said she didn't have availability and didn't know if anyone else in the shop did. She asked me to text her a picture of what I wanted and she'd get back to me. Never responded to me either way. I call ahead the very next day; the individual that answered (around noon) said she had availability if I came up in an hour; I came up a few minutes prior to an hour, to be safe; the piercer greeted me and let the artist know I was waiting. Forty minutes of waiting, the artist finally comes to acknowledge me and tells me it'll be at least another hour, maybe two. (You can leave if you want or wait.) again, very disinterested. I've Now booked the tattoo 40 minutes away with an artist that actually seems to want the work.

They just sold me some bunk low grade quality jewelry, same jewelry they pierced me with actually. Had to go to another shop to get it looked at they told me the quality was horrible and they've had to fix and help multiple people coming from red dragon tattoo. They also told me the white build up under my piercing was from the jewelry quality that they had pierced me with. maybe before getting a piercing here you should ask them the specs and actually quality of their jewelry and if you can see the paperwork on it so you can see for yourself. Overall experience over the past weeks after i received my piercing from them has been horrible in my experience and wouldn't recommend them to anyone especially after i found out how bad their jewelry really was.

I have 11 cartridge piercings all of which were done at a tattoo shop. On my 18th birthday a few…read moremonths back I decided I wanted to get another piercing but at Rowan! Licensed nurses doing the piercings and a very aesthetically pleasing environment defiantly drew me in. I got my right side tragus piercing which just a basic charm. When we went to leave it was $130 for this piercing. $130 for one piercing with a basic piece of jewelry is insane pricing. Anyways, the swelling and tenderness of the piercing was normal and I was using the cleaning spray they recommended at checkout which was $20! On day two and three started to notice a lump beneath my ear, soon to find out this grape size lump was my lymph node and my piercing was extremely infected. From my 11 other cartilage piercings and having my thirds on my ear lobes I have never experienced something like this. I made an appt at my Dr office just to be sent to urgent care because there was a cyst inside where the tragus sat. I had to get the cyst trained and was on antibiotics for just over a week from this infection that come to find out after sending a swab to the lab... it was MRSA! I would not recommend Rowan, from the pricing to the multiple people from across other Rowan locations that have had the same outcome as me. Find a good tattoo shop, and stick with the same piercer. Also, I did call and was told I signed a waiver and all they could do was take the piercing out for me. I was so sad but not surprised.

Originally we had an amazing experience getting my daughter's ears pierced for the first time…read more Everyone was incredibly kind and my daughter did wonderful. After 7 or so weeks I decided to take her back to pick out new earrings. I had previously consulted with someone online as I was having a difficult time getting the back off of the earring. As I was in the middle of a sentence talking to an employee about this she put a pair of gloves on , walked over to my daughter who was looking at earrings across the store and yanked out of of her earrings. My daughter who had no idea this was going to happen was obviously upset. I tried to calm her down but she was struggling and I really wanted to put an earring back in her ear before it closed but she was scared and incredibly upset as she said her ear was hurting bad and she was afraid it was going to hurt. As I was talking to my daughter trying to calm her down the employee told my daughter she "doesn't have a lot of patience so she needed to sit down". I ended up paying for one of the three sets of earrings putting the other ones back and walking out into the mall, calming her down and putting in the original earring back in her ear. Very disappointed with the way that was handled on her part. We will not be returning

They know what they are doing and knows how to handle and calm the first timer's anxiety. Jeff was pretty straight forward and I liked his professionalism. He told me that how the pain will feel and it will be not painful as I assumed. When he started, I felt a weird mix of pain and tickle sensations at the same time that I said to him, "That's It!, That's the Pain....! Hmmm..... weird but I can take it." He said yes and I just handled it like nothing is happening to my skin. LOL! I will recommend all the artists in here for the people who are first time. I am happy and glad that I went to Mother's tattoo and got my first tat. Thanks Jeff, you're the best!

Jewelry that was put in was the type that inserts from the back and has a ball that screws in from the front. After they had healed and I went to change the jewelry one of the earrings had been screwed on so tightly I couldn't remove it. Stopped in to have them unscrew it. 30 seconds total (using a hemostat to clamp the earring to remove) and she charged me another $10. Nobody mentioned this charge at all when I asked if someone could try to unscrew it or when I was called back to have it done. Great way to drum up extra business. Secure the jewelry so tight you have to return and they have to remove it with a hemostat. Then tack on an additional fee. I've had other friends with bad up-charge experiences too. One friend called to see how much it would to have her ears pierced and was told $50 over the phone. She ended up getting double piercings thinking it would be $100 and walked out with a bill over $300! Be sure to ask what the total charges are before you even sit down and get it in writing if you have to use their services. Or better yet, go somewhere else.

Today, I finally decided to get my septum pierced, after wanting one for well over a year. I have a…read moredeviated septum which means that it's slightly crooked and I knew that it was going to require somebody that had skill. I have broken my nose two times in the past in just ridiculous situations that I won't mention and I went in for a consultation with Joey Caminiti today to see what he had to say about the possibilities. I have spent a lot of time at tattoo and piercing shops as my ex-husband was a tattooist. I was very impressed by the shop. It was super clean- even the bathroom is spotless. I wasn't wearing anything that showed that I happen to be heavily tattooed and probably looked like your basic soccer mom walking in the door. I was treated just like anyone else would be treated - everybody there was incredibly kind and Joey was fantastic. Unfortunately, despite surgeries before, my septum is just crooked enough that it threw him off by a millimeter or two. He wasn't happy with the placement and so we went ahead and took it out and made plans to try again in a week. In the meantime he insisted that I if I wanted some other sort of piercing that he would really like to do one for me for free for my trouble. I have never seen a piercer do that before and I thought it was incredibly good business and by doing that I ended up getting started on an ear project that I have had planned for years. Now he's going to have me coming back to him at least three more times for that. It was good business practices and he was honestly the coolest piercer I've dealt with and I've been dealing with piercers for over two decades all over the country from San Francisco to Miami. The tattoo work that I saw at the shop really exceeded my expectations! I will definitely be coming back there for much more work as I have a cover-up I need to do and I need to get started on my long awaited sleeve. I think I made a new friend and definitely found a new place that I am very comfortable going to as a female and without feeling a need to bring a friend for "moral support". It's just a kick ass joint! Go see Joey! He is a really well-versed, very smart and very talented piercer! I can't wait to get this septum taken care of! And I love that he's not worried about trying again. He's very confident in his abilities and I really find that comforting as I am the proverbial pin cushion in this situation. I'm sure he's going to nail it next time! I'll update you once it's done. Thanks, Asylum! UPDATE: I went back to Asylum 1 1/2 weeks later to try again to get my deviated septum pierced without looking crooked. Joey nailed it. He remembered exactly how to correct for my deviated septum based on last week. Now, I have a fantastic septum piercing and just like last time it didn't hurt at all and my eyes didn't even water! As stated before, he also did the piercing gratis because it didn't work out the first time. I will definitely be going back there!
