Went to get my tongue and navel pierced with their 2 for $40 deal thing. I made sure to call in beforehand seeing as I'm only 16, and was told I had to bring in my birth certificate and my mom, nothing else was acceptable. no birth certificate, no piercing (she was really rude on the phone) okaaay fine...my dad went SOO out of his way to go to our storage facility 30 minutes away to get it. finally evening rolls around and we head over there, money and birth certificate in hand, THEY NEVER EVEN ASKED FOR THE DAMN BIRTH CERTIFICATE. Then when I went back there, the guy (matt) didn't even give me an opportunity to check the placement on my tongue or stomach. His hands smelled really bad of cigarettes, he was out of the (free) normal navel barbells and I had to pay extra for a lame sparkly one. he paused for more then a few seconds on both of the piercings making it hurt soo much worse, not to mention he had me laying down for my tongue piercing and I almost choked from salivating and bleeding so much with it all rolling down my throat. The only aftercare tips he gave me were (for tongue) ""no oral, no making out, and if yer gonna drink, no beer stick to hard liquor"" (for navel) ""clean it like you would any other piercing"" he also never specified if I can go back there and get my long tongue barbell switched out for free or not. I won't even bother to call and ask I'm going somewhere else...\r

so its Thursday now, my tongue and navel are way more sore then they ought to be, my navel is bright red and just doesn't feel right, I think he took too much skin in the clamp and now its like really tight, hard to explain...\r
