Me: Hey can you help me with a piercing I got here a month ago? It seems to be irritated. Maybe the ring needs to be changed.
Piercer: You should stop picking it..
Me: I'm not picking it
Piercer: Just keep using the salt soaks
Me: I have been for a month and it's not working.
Piercer: Just keep doing it and come back once it's not so irritated.
I will be the bad guy here and say that in my TEN years of piercings I have never had an experience like this. My friend and I went for the Valentines Day special which was two for one piercings. Everything went well, the place was clean. About a week after the piercings my friend said that hers was becoming really irritated so she changed the ring out and it healed fine. Mine was really irritated and a bubble formed on the side of my nose around the piercing. After a month I went back for help because I had been using the salt soaks everyday and not picking it ( because I'm not 12). Nothing was helping. So in typical hipster fashion the piercer seemed to be placing the blame on me and offered no alternatives to help my situation. He must have thought I was younger and didn't know what I was talking about. I had it pierced in Feb and finally took it out a couple of weeks ago and it healed nicely after I googled what to do and found Lot's of different remedies. I just couldn't believe I paid $80 for this piercing. Next time I get a piercing I will go to Club Tattoo. Corporate chain but at least I get treated like a human being.
