I got my ear and nose pierced by Kevin. Being in the medical profession, I know that there are many microscopic bacteria that can cause infection. Kevin was very sanitary and used aseptic techniques to prevent contamination to and from any foreign objects piercing my skin. He was thorough in explaining how he was going to pierce me (so that I would be prepared) and how to clean and maintain my piercings. Reasonable price for the piercings and my pain level is very minimal as I have been using Kevin's recommended soak and wash techniques every day since the piercing. I love the way it looks on me. I bled a lot with my ear piercing but it was because I realized I tend to lay on that side. I adjusted my sleeping and my ear is doing better now.
