I've been to Hot Rods a handful of times and Will and Jerry are the best. They are very nice and professional. They will give you their honest opinion/feedback and not just tell you what you want to hear to "sell you" on getting something done. Jerry did my last two piercings (lip and septum). He really takes his time and walks you through the process. I got a lot of piercings when I was younger and wish I would have had the same experiences that I've had at Hot Rods.
I would definitely recommend this place, and Will and Jerry, to anyone that I know that was even remotely interested in getting a piercing. I've watched them walk someone through all the stages of a piercing from needle to healing to changing jewelry/stretching, and that would really be helpful if someone was on the fence about getting one done.
