It was my 18 birthday and I wanted to get a monroe done, but my boyfriend didn't want me to get any new piercings, and I still wasn't sure about getting it done anyways.\r
We wandered around Portland and I found myself walking by STTP... I stopped dead in my tracks and stared in amazement. I HAD TO GO IN. \r
George greeted us with a smile, and answered any questions I had. Costs of jewelry were ridiculous, but I bought a 14G internally threaded eyebrow ring. I wanted a 16, but they had none in stock at the time and George suggested that since I had my eyebrow pierced for four years it could be gauged to a 14. I agreed and he took me in the room to insert it.\r
I was astonished at the cleanliness of the shop - just to change a piece of jewelry, George sterilized the chair, washed his hands four or five times, put on gloves to take out my eyebrow ring, put new gloves on to place the new one. After just having my eyebrow ring replaced there, I realized why it was so pricey. You truly get what you pay for and it is definitely worth it. \r
Unfortunately, about two months later I had to retire my piercing for a job I got. Once I took out the ring, I couldn't get it back in. \r
\r
I'm back in California now, and I went ahead and got my monroe done - and am now considering angel bites. I may be moving back to Portland, and when that happens, I'm going to STTP for everything!!\r

Thanks George!
