The
people
who
work
here
are
very
kind,
but
I
was
disappointed
by
the
quality
of
their
work.
After
multiple
issues
with
piercings
I
received
here,
I
visited
another
highly
regarded
piercer
on
Long
Island
to
troubleshoot.
He
refused
to
badmouth
another
shop,
but
did
professionally
advise
me
of
some
things
that
were
wrong
with
piercings
I
got
here
at
Solid
Gold.
1st
visit:
I
had
my
nose
initially
pierced
at
Solid
Gold
by
Kimmy.
When
visiting
my
new
piercer,
he
advised
that
it
was
pierced
crooked
so
(depending
on
the
jewelry
I
choose)
it
will
never
sit
flush
against
my
skin.
This
is
something
I
had
noticed
but
I
thought
it
was
due
to
my
anatomy,
I
didn’t
realize
it
was
due
to
piercer
error.
2nd
visit:
I
met
with
Tara
to
have
the
nose
stud
changed
to
a
ring.
6
months
was
the
amount
of
time
they
advised
was
appropriate.
Tara
was
unbelievably
rough
when
changing
the
jewelry—this
hurt
more
than
the
piercing
itself.
It
was
bleeding
and
swollen
after
she
was
done.
Surprise:
the
swelling
stayed
and
it
developed
an
irritation
bump.
I
visited
my
new
piercer
to
have
it
changed
back
to
a
stud.
He
advised
that
I
should
have
waited
a
year,
rather
than
6
months.
And
while
he
gently
removed
the
ring,
it
broke
in
his
hands,
which
also
shows
the
quality
of
the
jewelry
that
Solid
Gold
carries.
2nd
visit,
3rd
issue:
On
that
same
visit
with
Tara,
I
also
had
my
helix
pierced.
I
was
never
advised
to
return
for
a
downsize.
After
a
couple
months
of
issues
with
this
piercing
(frequent
bleeding,
pus,
intense
swelling
despite
perfect
aftercare),
my
new
piercer
advised
that
it
was
not
infected
but
this
piercing
had
also
been
done
at
an
incorrect
angle
so
it
was
severely
irritated,
and
it
would
probably
never
heal.
In
his
opinion,
the
only
appropriate
course
of
action
was
to
remove
it,
and
he
refused
to
touch
it
otherwise.
We
removed
the
piercing
and
the
irritation
disappeared
shortly
after.
So
yes,
the
people
who
work
here
are
kind,
but
I
would
not
recommend
this
shop.
They
led
me
to
deal
with
months
of
unnecessary
pain,
not
to
mention
money
wasted.
The
quality
of
their
work
is
subpar,
which
is
irresponsible
and
dangerous.
