Rob helped me pick out beautiful jewelry for my nose and navel piercings. He also put them in for me and corrected two mistakes a previous piercing place had made. Rob was very thorough and explained everything to me. The shop was clean and inviting. I felt very comfortable and enjoyed the experience! I will definitely be going back!
