I went in today to get a new nose stud for my piercing of 6 months. The piercer was on his phone for about 20 minutes outside before he would even talk to me. There was a nice tattoo artist who apologize for the wait and for the reconstruction. When the piercer finally asked me how he could "help" me. I told him I needed a shorter L bar for my nostril and he disappeared into the piercing room. He came out with a baggie with 2 studs in it and poured them into the palm of his unwashed, ungloved hands. I chose the L bar and he took my money, and proceeded to leave, get in his car and drive away. He didn't even offer to help me put it in my nostril or anything. It was the worst customer service I have ever received.

ive been tattooing and piercing for 11 years, i am certified in blood borne pathogens, anatomy and physiology 1,2 first aid and cpr, and Fl disease transmission prevention certs. I have been here several times. all the artists were all using proper sterile technique, utilizing bags on clip cords, bottles and machines. whoever the guy who posted previously clearly knows nothing about proper sterile precautions or wants to pretend he does. Body piercing is not surgery and is not penetrating below the skin level and as such does not require the same surgical precautions as surgery. even most hospitals dont practice the same sterile practices for minor things such as stitches. do the doctors put on full scrubs and surgical gear to perform stitches? No, they use non sterile gloves from a box on the wall and wear the same lab coats they have been wearing all day patient after patient in a non surgical room and they certainly do not scrub prior. they wash their hands in the wall sink. stitches are no different than any tattoo or body piercing. as long as the equipment is sterile and proper aftercare is observed there is no risk of infection. it is however a fact that the majority of surgical patients in hospitals develop staph infections due to unclean bedsheets and equipment, it is also a fact that staph infection is virtually non existent in the world of tattooing and piercing due to the scrutiny of over overcautious tattoo artists
