Don's Downtown Ink

Don’t come here if you have sensitive ears. I came here for a conch piercing in June and my ear developed a huge cyst and infection. I went to a different piercer and he made me take it out and told me to go to urgent care. The piercer does not use high quality jewelry. So I don’t recommend coming here.

My friend and I went to get piercings a year ago. I got my tragus and she got her cartilage. Mine did not have the correct length of jewelry and when mine swelled, the ball went inside of my ear and I had to pull it out with pliers. I went to another shop where they changed the jewelry but I was told it was pierced too closed to my face and at a bad angle and that it probably wouldn't heal. Neither mine or my friends piercings ever healed after months of swelling and bleeding we finally removed them. Do not get pierced here.

The piercer didn’t do a good job at all. He was kinda rude and he used really cheap jewelry that ended up giving me an infection. You get what you pay for, cheap prices probably means cheap jewelry. I can say you should probably do lots of research before coming here, he pierced me with a hoop (which I did not know are hard to heal) and didn’t explain anything about other options. I haven’t been back since because of him. I won’t even consider coming back for a tattoo because the guy was tattooing out in the center of the place- no curtains or anything. The piercing guy just has bad practices all around and now I look dumb with this scar on my nose. Save yourself some time and go somewhere else or save up some money to go somewhere else. My nose hurt to clean starting the first day I got it- probably normal.- however I noticed green pus after a few more days even though I was cleaning it THREE times a day with saline solution like he said and when I went to the ER they said it’s because the stainless steel jewelry he used contains nickel and my body had an allergic reaction to it and caused the infection. If you’re going to be piercing just ASK if your client has allergies. If you’re the guy who pierced here, just stop piercing.
