I arrive to get a second ear piercing on my right ear.  I like the way the outside of the building looks, the picture here doesn't do it justice, and the staff  is not just young, but older, too, all respectful even if my hair is not so great today.  Older, I thought that I would be out of place after reading these yelp reviews that got me here, but I want to visit this spot because of Ticketmaster, so I know where to go in the future.  I'd say that I look 35 on my best days, according to my daughter.  Today I  look  older, even a little bit frumpy after a long drive.
Irregardless, everyone acts nice, even the youngest rocker,  and I want to buy clothes there and get a nose piercing, but I just get my ears pierced for a reasonable price by an older  gay guy. I learn what he knows about the pop art scene in Jacksonville Beach, and I find that interesting.  I don't usually, anymore, sit around with rock musicians, so I like his stories.  He relates unique art scene experiences that make the time pass quickly.  He  also gives me a nice list of celebrities that live in the area and other interesting facts.  Meanwhile,  is very professional about his work--the pain, minimal and brief, nothing like my first  bloody ear piercing experience at a doctor's office when I was a teen. Â
My budget is slim with Christmas gifts bought, but the price is reasonable with just  $10 more for two, rather than one ear piercing, so I get the second done and now have four ear piercings.  I leave  10 minutes later with no complaints, problems, blood.  Dropping in anytime is not a problem. About 8 other customers are there when I'm leaving and about five were there when I arrived.
I'll be honest and say that CC isn't really my style. I generally go because they have a ticketmaster outlet. When I have gone in to buy though I've found their selection and prices to be excellent.
By far the best thing about this place though is their people. Seriously some of the coolest people you'll ever meet. When I've been looking for sunglasses or shoes (only 2 things I've ever bought here other than tickets), they really seemed to have a good eye for what looked good and were very polite and helpful.
As I said, I usually come for event tickets because it seems you have a better shot getting good seats here than by going online. They don't open until 10, but when the employees find you waiting outside the door early, they open quickly to let you in a few minutes before tickets go on sale so they have the best shot at getting you great seats.
Five stars to Caribbean Connection!
Well lit,friendly staff.
I was happier with the old location (right next door) w/2 floors and a pipe shop.
Tattoo and piercing in a clean calm atmosphere where privacy is givin'.
It WAS a great place to find hard to find shoes and clothing but NOW it switched to more less T-shirts and crocs shoes.
More -less trendy stickers and T's.
Awesome selection of body jewelery and good tattoo artist from local areas.
Cool hammocks and swing chairs in the summer time on the outside deck ,on display, you can chill in (test out).
Get concert tickets there as well.
Not bad -- I DO STILL miss the old C.C. but times change and no more "glass back room" or hard to find clothing.
I have gotten pierced there 2xs and had friends get tattoos and piercings there as well. CLEAN and professional.
A-OK place been around for a long time.
LOW cars will have an issue parking in lot but there is store front street parking.
