    I dropped in here to get jewelry reinserted into an existing piercing. Had the hole, had the jewelry, couldn't do a damned thing to get the bead in myself.

    I called, confirmed that they took walk-ins, got quoted $5, and then drove down a little later in the day. I parked on Main St which was fine for that time of the day and that part of town.

    The piercer was out, but the tattoo artist came out and greeted me and was friendly and polite. He said the piercer would be back in a few minutes and called her to let her know I was here.

    While I waited I looked around the shop. Clean, lots of jewelry & artwork on display, very typical tattoo/piercing studio atmosphere.

    The piercer (Shannyn I think?) arrived, showed me into a private room and we discussed what I needed. A fresh, disposable sheet was laid out on the table, and pliers were taken out of sterile autoclave bags. Yay sterility!

    The jewelry went in nicely and she inserted the bead nice and snugly. We spent a couple of minutes talking about other potential piercings and she took a look at another one of my old piercing holes to see if it was still open and if I could get the area repierced with a slightly more desirable position.

    The whole thing was done really quick and she was pleasant and friendly. She was going to change me $10, I told her I'd been quoted $5 on the phone (I got the feeling there was no standard pricing for something like this) and she was fine with that and charged me the $5 + tax, no argument.

    My one experience there was good - I can't speak to her actual piercing skills, but they'd definitely be on my list of shops to consider & look into more if I'm ever in the market for a new piercer.
