I was a walk-in for a septum piercing, Scooter was immediately able to see me and made me feel extremely comfortable during the entire process. He made sure the placement of my piercing was perfect and readjusted the clamps so the placement would be perfect for my nose! I’ll be returning for all my future piercing needs :)
