Danny set us up quickly and was communicative about his process before and during my nose piercing, and what I should expect after.

Both of my daughters got piercings with Danny: earlobes, helix and nostril. He was friendly, clean and did beautiful work. This is the third time my 12 yo daughter had her earlobes pierced but the first time they never got infected! We'll never use those mall places with the piercing guns again.
