I am big on piercings and I am equally as big on cleanliness, professionalism and reputaion. I am from Philadelphia and in all my years of getting pierced I have always gone to ONE piercer.
When I moved to Arizona I decided to only get pierced when I went home to visit because I knew and trusted my piercer. My girlfriend suggested HTC to me because she knew how picky I am about who does my body art and she said that they were really clean.
My first visit there was for my daughter's 16th birtday. I allowed her to get a belly button piercing. I have to say that I was impressed with the clean space, the professional staff and the way that the piercers carried themselves. I liked the prices and the fact that they didn't try to charge you for every little thing, My daughter got pierced and is happily healed with no complications.
I went back yesterday to get my lip pierced (times 2) and my piercer was Kevin. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that not only had Kevin lived in Philadelphia but that he also knew my piercer from Philly personally and they had worked together. How ironic is that? When I say this place is clean...whew. When you come in you see a sign that says that you can't even change your OWN piercings in the shop. They would do it for free. I went to get pierced and Kevin changed his gloves at LEAST 4 times: 1, to prep the station, 2 to mark my piercings up, 3, to open the sterile tools and the 4th was to pierce. I LOVED IT. He spent time just talking (I think it's to relax you) and he was sooo funny. He kept singing responses to questions and conversation I mean he was the best and I was completely relaxed. I didn't once have to think about if they were clean and sanitary. I am really impressed. Needless to say I now have Kevin and HTC in my phone as my piercer.
If you want a clean, professional, personable place to get your body art I suggest you make it to HTC TEMPE and see Kevin.
