So...had been curious and wanted to give it a whirl - got my ears pierced. We had circled the mall trying to find a place that had basic studs that suited out taste (not little sparklies) and after a few unlucky stops, we landed @ the Pagoda. The girl behind the counter was awesome (and I am sorry I don't remember your name!) offering education, tips, tricks and was completely a part of the experience and made it fun. I am often disappointed, sadly, with retail sales associates, and I wasn't about to have it whilst someone is putting holes in my body. Anywho - thanks.
