Apparently my annual ritual is visiting STTP for brand new holes. Last night marked that lovely occasion and Nick and I were finally able to finish my rib cage surface piercing. A mere 23.5 hours later, there is virtually no discomfort (unless I run into something, and let's face it, that's unavoidable), the swelling is way down, and they look beautiful! As usual, Nick was the portrait of professionalism, kindness, and talent. I'll also mention that I took it as a major personal favor that he didn't make fun of me for making a noise described by my friend alternately as a porpoise mating call and a puppy being sat on. Nick is so sweet that he only said I made ""interesting"" noises. In addition to all of his other wonderful traits (the least of which are not his love of shoes and contagious smile), he was tremendously quick and barely hurt me at all! I was even able to go play at the Italian festival right after he was finished. In short, I can't even express the amount that I adore STTP, and I highly recommend the shop, and the staff, to anyone. I know I'll be going back as soon as I can think of a good location, or maybe I'll just come back in a year and let Nick have his way with me ;) !
Pros: Amazing people, Fantastic piercings, Unparalleled cleanliness!
Cons: Not a thing!
