| - I wouldn't recommend going to this place. For starters, it's pretty ghetto, & not in the best area. They have a $5 piercing/$10 dermals deal every Wednesday, which is what lead me to get my tongue pierced there. The place looked clean enough on the inside, but the owner was super blasé about everything & seemed like he wanted to get me out of there asap (quick service is a good thing, but this seemed kind of rushed). I was given a form to fill out & write what piercing I desired, then was immediately taken to the "piercing room" where his little children were running amok! There was seriously a 6 or 7 year old girl & a young boy running around the place, yelling & interjecting loudly while who I presumed to be her dad was piercing me. Not very professional, if you ask me. The sanitation seemed minimalist, but sufficient I suppose. He wore fresh gloves, sprayed my tongue with mouthwash, used a sterile needle (though he didn't use clamps, which I didn't like), & clean jewelry. But I feel like for a piercing shop, they should be just a little more thorough about the sterilization process. HTC takes a half hour just to sterilize your jewelry alone; I was in & out of 24 Hour in maybe 5 minutes tops. AND the guy wasn't careful enough with piercing me, because halfway through, he had to readjust the position of the needle before poking it through the rest of the way, which SUCKED for a piercing that's supposed to be initially pretty much painless. It's nice that the service was cheap, & the jewelry was included in the price, but it's true; you really do get what you pay for. I will not be returning to this place for another service.
