I came here for my first cartilage piercing-I was worried about the pain and of course the infection, but it was nothing like that at all! Jes (Jessica) was extremely reassuring, even in unspoken ways. For example, when she directed me to pick up the mirror by myself because she had fresh gloves on. Sanitary to a T! She was careful to place it right, and the piercing itself took no time and almost wasn't painful at all. I got a packet of sea salt and some antibacterial soap, some excellent explanations, my hoop and some good old peace of mind for $55. Worth it. I would definitely come here again to get a piercing!
