First of all, I'd like to say that I had high hopes going into this place. My sister came into town for the 4th of July and I decided I wanted to get my nose pierced. I originally drove all the way to ink link on independence because a few years ago I got my eyebrow pierced there. After finding out they no longer do piercings, I asked for some suggestions around Charlotte because I was unfamiliar with other piercers. Sadu was one of the places he threw out, so I decided to make the trip to Central Ave. Upon arriving I was very impressed with the look on the inside. It was very stylish, it looked clean, and there was an amazing selection of body jewelry. However, there was no one working the counter. I was patient at first because I heard people in another room getting pierced and I was ready to wait for a few minutes. After about thirty minutes passed by, I started to lose my patience. The one lady I saw who obviously worked there popped out of the piercing room for a minute to grab something, and then I didnt see her again for another fifteen. By this time, about three other people had made there way into the place. We all just stood around looking at jewelry, knowing that GOSH they have to be almost done!! Finally after about another ten minutes, the piercer, and three people came out of the room, TWO girls had gotten their noses pierced. The piercer walked passed me, and didnt say a word. She didnt even acknowledge the other four people now waiting. She then opened her food, took a bite, and then waved for another girl to come back with her. Soon after, my sister and I just left. It was ridiculous, and I didnt even want to get pierced by her at that point. I know there are a lot of tattoo and piercing shops in charlotte that still do business with the mentality that just because they do tattoos, they dont have to have good customer service standards, but I honestly didnt expect that from this place. \r
