I AM PIERCED.
I can't stress this enough. If you live in Chicago and you want to go to a professional and STERILE place for your piercings go to
Insight Studios!! I'm more than happy that I did my homework on them before I stopped by today.
Bob Jones was not only hot (>_>), but really understanding and calm through everything. He gave me AND Jack lollipops when I was done! He must have changed his gloves at least three times for each piercing he did. They were all done with a needle, not a gun, and it really didn't hurt at all. He kept asking me, "How are you feeling?" once I replied, "It's nothing compared to getting teeth pulled," he said, "Well yeah that's for sure!" Hahaha. He told me and Jack this really funny story about his hippie dentist who drilled his teeth while he had Slayer playing on his headphones, and how it didn't help because he could still hear the drilling through the heavy metal, haha.
When I was all finished, he said my total would only be 90 dollars. I gave him my card and his tip, and kept telling him how I'm definitely coming back soon. He said, "Great!!" and ran off to ring me up. When he came back he gave me back my card, along with coupons for 20$ off for me and Jack. It wasn't until I left the shop when I realized he charged me for only 80 DOLLARS. Dude... three needle piercings for 80$... and I came there planning on dishing out 140!! He even used the loop earrings as opposed to the cheap studs.
AHHH I love Insight Studios! They're amazing. Even when we left the shop, Jack said he couldn't believe how nice they were.
Yay today was great... Jack & I had sushi at Shiroi Hana afterwards too after walking around Clark St... a big party platter for two. 8) Yumm.
*EDIT*
My Mom is planning on taking a 2 month long vacation in Morocco with her boyfriend near the end of the year.
LIP PIERCING IN OCTOBER? DEFINITE MAYBE.
