I went to dave when i was 16 years old to get my lip pierced. he never asked for id and he never asked what my age. being that age and no piercings i didnt know what the rules and regulations were. anyways he pierced with no questions asked. when he pierced my lip he took about a minute to put the needle through. when he finally got the needle through he stepped out of the room and and came back about a minute later with a piece of cork and put it at the end of the needle. then he stepped out of the room once again to grab jewelry and took another two minutes trying to put the flat back labret into my lip. he sat there and struggled for so long trying to put the jewelry through my lip and then he finally just pushed with all of his strength and pushed the jewelry through. the aftercare that he gave to me was a bottle of rubbing alcohol and dish soap. he told me to soak 2 cottonballs in alcohol and put one in the inside of my lip and the outside for a half an hour 4 times a day and clean it with the dish soap every hour and to not wash it off. about 2 days later i was in excruciating pain and the flat back had cut through the inside of my lip and skin had closed around it. i called dave up and he proceeded to tell me that it was all my fault and not his what so ever. that night i went to another piercing studio that was a lot more reputable and they had to cut the inside of my lip to get the jewlery out of my lip. when they had measured the jewelry out it was a 1/4 of an inch long when usually for initial piercings they use 3/8 to accommodate swelling. the outside and inside of my lip had such bad burns form the dish soap and alcohol that it took about 8 weeks to completely heal. they went over the proper aftercare with me. gave me proper jewelry and sent me on my way a much more happier girl than before. never go to dave for piercings or tattoo!
