I went here to get an industrial piercing. The guy who did it was really nice. He did two single piercings, inserting rings because he said this way it heals better since you can rotate the rings during the healing process, which you can't do with a bar. Sounds good to me. Several months later I figured it was time to put the bar in. It was a little hard to do, but I loved it. A few days later, my boyfriend noticed that it was digging into my ear. I looked in the mirror and sure enough, the bar had cut a somewhat deep gash into my ear, so the skin of the ear was covering the bar! Gross, I know. I folded a bandaid and put it underneath the bar so that the bar rested on that instead of causing more damage.
Since I was in Chicago, I went to another piercing place where they told me that part of my ear is raised too high, so an industrial piercing won't work on me. That was pretty disappointing to hear. I wish I had been told that to begin with because that just lost me $50 bucks (including tip). On top of that, the girl told me that even if I could have the piercing, the two holes weren't lined up correctly. She figured this out when she was going to give me two mini bars in each hole to give the illusion of a bar and realized that they wouldn't line up.
It's a tough call on this place. My boyfriend had both of his industrials done here and they're great. He also has two tattoos that look really amazing. Looking at him, its hard to knock this place down and I really don't want to because the people here are really nice and know what they're talking about. I just didn't have the best experience.
