So my friend's fourteen year old daughter, who respectfully refers to me as Auntie mentions to me that she wants to get her navel pierced, but her mom was being a bit squimish on taking her. Â I being the "cool Auntie" offered to take her to go get her belly mutilated as long as I got permission from her parents, with the combination of her birthday coming up I figured this would be a cool treat for me to do for said teenager.
After pulling up at the location, there was one odd fellow working the front. Â I cheerfully greeted him, but he caught me off guard with the way he grumbled back, at first I thought he was being hostile, but it turned out that dude just likes to grumble, and you have this guy working the front? But hey its a smoke shop so you kinda get what you get!
So mister grumbles and mumbles tells me that the piercer is off today, but he'll give him a call to see if he can come in for us. Â He gets ahold of him and tells us that he'll be down here in about 10 minutes, which was fine, it gave us a chance to get all the paperwork signed (mom ended up showing up so I didn't have to sign off as the guardian). Â No problem.
About 10 minutes later, a big burly guy comes with 2 children in tow, apparently they had just come from church? Â Hey now, piercers have morals too you know! Â So he instructs my friend's daughter to get in the chair and was extremely polite and professional with her, numbs her area and then waited a few minutes before piercing her.
From what I could tell, her experiance was ok, not too painful and not too much blood. Â And since the piercer actually took the time out of his way to pierce her, I thought that was cool enough to warrrant a good review!
