1st of all, the ppl that work there come off as dbags, from the chick at the front desk, to the guy who did my tat. the guy who did my tat was plainly rushing, and when you're getting something that will be on you for life, thats not what you want. i had to tell him to correct the parts that were clearly not right, after he asks me "how do you like it?" and the kicker is that its way overpriced, charged me $80 for something that should run $60 tops. like really, the ppl that work there just come off soooo lame. its over priced, and they come off as like, really a-holish ppl, i dont know about you, but when it comes to something that will always be on me, i want it to be quality, and for it to be done by non a-holes. i highly suggest just going down the block to gothic body, they have always been really cool, and do great work. dont get anything done at body ritual, its a waste of money, and time, and they dont deserve your buisness, honestly. Pros: ... Cons: the ppl and proffesionalism

as a professional piercer for many years, the use of antibacterial soap works extremely well. i have used it on all my own piercings with nothing but success. the problem lies with peoples skin type and sensitivity to soaps. switch to saline solution if it is too harsh. as a piercer we have no way of predicting how your skin will react. as far as jewelery selection for the initial pierce, that is the correct jewelery. the navel is an extremely slow healing pierce to begin with, and you want to use a piece of jewelery you can rotate through the pierce to clean easier. a barbell only traps bacteria and makes cleaning difficult. a fancy, jewelled piece of jewelery is even worse to begin with since it only gives bacteria more crevices to hide in. the piercer was correct not to ask you what jewelery you wanted because you don't know what your talking about. body ritual has the biggest shop in town, and that should speak for itself.

I just recently got my cartilage and navel pierced by this place for my 18th birthday. When I went there, I stood there for about 15 minutes waiting for someone to help. But there were other people, so I guess I can't blame them for that. HOWEVER, when I got my piercings done, the piercer didn't ask me what ring I wanted and what gauge to use. I don't know anything about piercing, so I just went along with it. The piercer gave me this weird upside down tear drop navel ring and said that it heals faster than the typical barbell. And of course, I'm naive as hell and so I believed him. He told me that when I clean my piercings, I should use antibacterial soap and turn the ring through my piercing to clean it. Which is WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!! Anyways, I'll finish my story first. Anywhoo, my friend sees my piercings a week later. She takes a look at my navel ring and goes, Wtf is that? You need to take that shiit out right now. You need a curved barbell for that. I didn't know jack crap about piercings, so I freaked out. She recommended me to go to Altered Evolution and get it checked out by them. And so long story short, I went there and the piercer there, Brandy, looked at it and said that the ring they put on my belly button does NOT heal faster and it's irritating my skin because it's a hoop and so it keeps on moving around and keeps on getting caught on my clothes & whatnot. She was like they should have just gave me a curved barbell instead. Anyways, THE PIERCER AT BODY RITUAL PIERCED ME TOO DEEP!!! The piercing was only supposed to be 3/8th of an inch, but instead he went HALF AN INCH! And so what happened? NO OTHER JEWELRY FITTED MY NAVEL! And so I had to take out that upside down teardrop ring. And now I'm letting my belly button heal for 2 weeks, and then I'm going to go back and get it done RIGHT by Brandy. ALSO, the piercer at Body Ritual told me how to clean t

Long story short: The piercer at Body Ritual pierced my navel wrong. He was supposed to only go 3/8th of an inch deep, but instead he went HALF AN INCH deep. And so now no jewelry fits my navel. He gave me an upside down teardrop ring instead of a curved barbell saying that it heals faster (which is completely wrong because it irritates your skin because it's a hoop and so it keeps on moving around and keeps on getting caught on clothing & whatnot) Also, he told me how to clean it wrong. He said to turn the ring around in the piercing and use antibacterial soap, BUT that's wrong. Turning it will create a lump and antibacterial soap is too strong for a newly pierced piercing. Anyways, I took out that piercing and am now letting it heal for 2 weeks to get it done by a REAL piercer at Altered Evolution. I found out what the piercer at Body Ritual did wrong by talking to other piercers. And my friend's a maniac and goes crazy with piercings; so she knows. I honestly do NOT recommend Body Ritual because that piercer lacks the ability and knowledge to pierce right. I seriously recommend Altered Evolution. Even though they're a bit pricier, it's worth it because they know their stuff. Anyways, I've written a ton of reviews with the same story/info on Body Ritual on other sites because I want everyone to know about them and how horrible they are. Pros: Clean, professional looking Cons: Poor skills and knowledge about piercing

I started there when i was 16 with my first body hole. I have had about 4 more. The prices are very good lower than most in the area. my mother also got a cover up done there for 300 less than what other shops were pricing for here. Going back today to get my children's name on my back for only 60... Now thats a great price for 14 lettters.

Good body jewelry selection. Would reccomend for piercings but I've heard several complaints about the quality of their tattooing. Prices are higher than other comparable area parlors. My own impression/experiences have been that the staff is knowledgable and helpful but not very empathetic or patient. PROS: Good jewelry selection CONS: high prices
