not very friendly towards african americans \r \r more

I always go here for piercings and have never had a problem with infection or staff. I have always had a great experience every time.... I highly recommend it. ;) more

i have a lot of piercings. i've only gone to avant-garde. yes, the piercer (paul) can be a sarcastic a** sometimes, he's just trying to sike you out, just play along. i've never had a problem with their jewelry or instructions. my nose didn't hurt AT ALL. the worst one was my industrial, which given is a pretty painful one no matter where you go. None of mine have ever gotten infected, never a natural problem, except that i get bored and take them out when i'm not suppose to then i can't get them back in. i love avant-garde because they're always around to answer any questions or take a look at something if you have any problems with it. I have heard of a lot of people who hate it because they get infected easy, but that's not the case with the people i've talked to. i would really recommend avant-garde, just follow their instruction and go in if you need help or have any questions!\r \r \r btw the atmosphere is actually very friendly. the woman at the front counter is really nice and can help you as much as she can. Pros: They can help you with ANYTHING they can. Cons: parking is bad, it's just on a semi-busy street, more

So, we've all heard the ads. Trust me -- GO TO THE EAST SIDE. My daughter an 'inner ear' piercing done here. The piercer looked like he slept under his car. told my daughter she smelled like leaves. Also told us how drunk he was the night before.\r She got a horrible infection. Had to go to another place to get the earring out.\r After our experience, I talked to other ppl who had the same thing happen.\r Don't go there! Pros: None that I can think of. Cons: Not very clean and hung over staff. more
