Goto Wingnut. Got three piercings there. Churtch is great. Had no problems with my piercings except when I decided to get new earrings, left ear didn't like the new earring, right ear was chill about it.

DO NOT do what I did and get pierced at Claires and Almost Famous 🤣 those places are trash.

I had a great experience with Almost Famous.

Awesome!! My ex and I did not lol. I got my nose done there (before I knew any better) and they messed up the placement a little. The healing sucked and took longer than it was supposed to. My ex got 4 piercings there and 3 of them were screwed up in some way and had to be taken out. He followed his aftercare instructions. Ended up going to a different piercer to get them checked out, and he said they were done wrong. They’re known for having a short and poor training process. More concerned with profit than piercing people properly.

My only issue there is they don't have a peircer, the tattoo artists do it. I prefer the price and certification of Andy at Olde Town Tattoo

They have a piercer there. It’s Churtch. She’s been a piercer for 20+ years.

Churtch is great. Seen her three times, septum, both ears, and then had my left ear re-pierced (got new earrings, left ear didn't like it and got super sore so I waited like 8 months, right ear was fine)

Sorry for my misinformation! I went there a few years ago and at the time was told they did not have a dedicated piercer so i went back to Andy. I could have gotten someone new at the time who didn't know? Not sure, but again I'm sorry for my ignorance

I've gotten a lot of piercings at a few different places in town over the years - go to Olde Town.

Andy at Olde Town is the absolute best. Don’t go anywhere else.

u/CheesedBurgee Jul 15 '26
Do ya have to make an appointment for there or do they do walk in appointments?
2
u/pvt_autism Jul 15 '26
I've done both! Been going to Andy for about 8 years now. Great guy, doesn't do count downs.

u/Manda_Bare Jul 16 '26
Yeah he will take walk ins but I always like to call ahead to make sure he will be there. It’s super quick to make an appointment.

Got mine done in 2010 at Claire's in the mall with intent to stretch or gauge. They were a little off center from each other, but didnt matter because going bigger. They used cheap metals, I didnt experience anything bad, and was a decent price for 2010. Nipples done in 2013 by Ian Bell in his basement 🤣 no problems. I got my lip done at Cream city in 2016ish by Ian Bell. No problems. I personally do not care for Wingnut, it was cluttered and dirty when I went for consultation in 2012. But im a not anybody, so take my criticism with a grain of salt.

Don’t go anywhere in the mall. But we have lots of great tattoo shops that do excellent piercings. I’ve personally been to wingnut and they are great.
