This shop uses clean and safe methods for piercing. They are very knowledgable and are the best place to go for a piercing, but that being said, you are definitely going to spend a little bit of money. That is how it should be for permanent mods like a piercing, go to the best person in town and don't expect it to be cheap. Cheap= infections and bad work. One thing the HTC staff could work on is their attitudes. Some employees are nicer than others, but don't scare off the customer who was unsure about entering your shop in the first place. Be a little more customer oriented and friendly. Thank you.
