So I had been thinking about getting this piercing almost 2 years but had been putting it off. Then I realized if I was going to get it, I should bite the bullet and get it done before my birthday.
I was apprehensive mostly because it was in a private place. Rob was a total professional and the placement was dead on where I had hoped it would be.
It looks great, the pain was surprisingly minimal, and it has been healing quickly. If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have waited so long!
Glenn's in Carrboro is a small shop in a cool little neighborhood. I have been a few times to hang out while my beau got a leg piece and also to get a surprise touch up on my tramp stamp as an anniversary gift.
Paulie tattooed both of us and I gotta say, he is basically the John Wayne of tattooing. He shoots straight from the hip, nary a bit of guile, nary a mincing of words. He is efficient and careful. All of the work I have seen from him is excellent and I definitely will go to him for any tattoo work that might come up while I am in the area. He even called me "kitten" before he started working on me.*
I also really appreciate the slow banter of the other shop dudes, Max and Robert are both super nice and were kind enough to put on Black Sabbath for me while I was getting ye olden tramp stamp worked on. I am especially impressed with the patient way that the staff handles all of the young college kids that come tumbling in giggling and looking for team initials or various body parts pierced.
I have been in a lot of tattoo shops and am blessed with a lot of tattooing pals, so I can honestly say that these guys are the real deal. Give them your business.
*Results not typical so don't go in there expecting to be called "kitten", aight?
