First "unusual" piercing
Saturday, December 06, 2008
I've gotten my ears pierced at the mall at Piercing pagoda several times: when I was a child for my lobes, cartilage and eventually added more to my lobe. So I've had SOME type of experiences with piercings. One of my best friends got her lip pierced in high school and since then I've thought it was really cool, but always wondered about the pain. She went to Top Tattoo in Shoreline/edmonds area and said it was really good and clean. I ended up going to Deep Roots from rumors that it had been a great shop. I finally decided to get my lip pierced and Deep Roots on the AVE seemed to call out to me. I go to the UW so I've walked by about a trillion times and have peeped in to ask questions. Walking in was an experience in itself; the lobby looked like a gallery. The jewelry was nicely displayed in cases and it was well lit (which is a personal thing of mine--liking well lit places). The two people at the counter were very welcoming and my piercer whose name was Nicole (like mine w/o the 'h') was very very friendly! Highly recommend her service! I was pretty nervous at first and hard time deciding on jewelry. In the midst of my first jewel being sterilized I changed my mind. Graciously she said to me "Honey that's fine! This is going to be on your face and I want you to be happy with it!" Right then and there I knew I'd come to the right place. From the cleanliness of the parlor itself, the cleanliness of the utensils used, the cleanliness of the piercing artist, and to the great customer service .. It was AWESOME! The piercing itself didn't hurt more than a mere pinch. I personally believe that this is the best piercing parlor in Seattle.
