My favorite piercing place ever. hands down. If you're from Oslo, or from out of town, and want a piercing done - go here. The staff is extremely clean, friendly, and helpful with jewelry. Before getting a piercing, the piercer will go through the procedure with you and explain the appropriate cleaning afterwards. You also get a sheet explaining how to clean it, as well as the products to use. I've been pierced by 3 different people here, and have only had good experiences. It's a bit hidden away and small, but worth checking out. I'd say the prices are reasonable (for Norwegian standards at least - might seem expensive for foreigners).
I've had several friends go there as well and have great experiences. I've had five piercings done by them in total, with minimal issues (just normal healing issues). They also happily check your piercings to see that they're healing fine! I've become a regular and get my jewelry changed at no fee (this level of costumer service isn't all that common in Norway - take it from a Norwegian/American). They're all incredibly friendly people and I've never experienced them as annoyed at me for asking a question or anything similar.
They also have a wide variety of jewelry, including jewelry for stretched ears, and regular accessories. They tend to have some beads for BCRs and tongue rings on sale, in addition to their already huge selection. There's jewelry for anybody and everybody, that's for sure. It's probably the biggest selection I've seen so far.
I'd say the only con is that, as mentioned, it's small and there's usually only one person working there. Thus, it can get cramped on Saturdays when everyone wants to drop in. You may end up having to wait for some time before you're tended to. My tip is to call ahead and schedule an appointment, preferably during the week, and you can avoid the rush.
Overall, Safari is the only place I go to to get pierced, and I've seriously missed it after moving overseas. They deserve 10 stars :) read more
