Pierced by Tony

Got standard earlobe piercings done by Tony (recommended by Vivi) for $48 bucks with the Yelp discount! Tony is such a sweet guy and certainly knows what he's doing.

Even though my ears closed up from 2 years ago, Tony listened and advised me every second of the way, even telling me when to breathe in & out before he stuck in the needle. I'm certainly glad i chose to go with a professional piercer instead of the germ-infested gun at Claires!

Tony is AMAZING. I was skeptical coming to get surface anchors by someone who hasn't pierced me before (I usually go to Aerick at Fura in Castro Valley)... but I'd go back to Tony in a heart beat. He took his time lining up my anchors so they were even and made sure he got them where I wanted them. He talked about the procedure and told me why he was doing the things he was doing (i.e. warming up the skin prior to the piercing, etc). When it came to the actual piercing, he was quick and swift and it was virtually painless! I walked away with two perfectly placed surface anchors. Super +!

Another + for Tony, he gladly gave me advice on my stretched ear lobe. Three days ago I stretched myself from a 9/16 to a 5/8 and tore my ear up pretty bad.This morning my tunnel fell out and my ear looked NASTY. Needless to say, I left my 5/8 tunnel out. Tony gladly advised me on how to fix my F-UP and didn't scold me too bad for using Hot Topic jewelry. :) He also sold me some glass plugs (downsized to 7/16) to allow my ear to heal. When I go back for a check up on my surface anchors, he's going to check out my ear too... even though its MY hack job.

Yet ANOTHER + for Tony- he talked to my boyfriend who didn't even get a piercing and advised him on how to take care of his snake bites! My boyfriend had asked Tony to check out his lips because he was having problems. Tony thoroughly explained what caused the problems, then gave him some advice on how to get them back to normal.

Tony was very glad to invite is both back to talk about any other piercing problems we might have. I'm so excited to go back to Anchor Bay for more piercings by Tony.

If you're in the area and looking for a piercer... go see Tony. Seriously.

Super cool place. Tony was super nice and patient with me. Found a new piercer!
