So I was visiting a friend in SC and decided to get another ear piercing. She suggested this place as she had gotten all of her piercings here in the past and had nothing but positive comments about their service and staff. I have previously had my cartilage pierced in two different places by Claires and the piercing pagoda. Never, ever, again will I ever get a piercing with a gun. Going to a body piercing or tattoo shop is definitely the way to go. Not only did it not hurt or bleed as much as with a gun — but my ear barely hurts now. In the past it would be red, swollen and sore. This is just a little bruised and doesn’t hurt at all unless I touch it(to clean it) or smack the phone on my ear(I’ve accidentally done this more times than I’d like to admit in the day since I’ve gotten it pierced). The guy who did my piercing was really nice and funny. He kept me relaxed and he was quick, clean and safe. He stopped prepping to help another customer and I visibly watched him put on a different, new, set of gloves which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend going here for piercings. They have a tattoo shop here and in Greenville. I can’t comment on those but if the service is as good as the piercing shop I would definitely give it a try!
