Rooster did a revision of my wrist tattoo and it was amazing. He was very professional and creative, and knew exactly what I wanted. I’d recommend him to anyone who wants a beautiful tattoo!

My boyfriend and I are from Indiana and visiting some friends in the area when we decided to try to get some tattoos while in town. We were able to walk in and my boyfriend was able to get his tattoo the same day. I had decided I wanted to wait a while longer as this was going to be my first tattoo and I was feeling nervous. However, after watching him get his tattoo and seeing Rooster’s work I knew I just had to have one. We decided go back the next day to see if I could get in. Rooster was able to sketch up a design and get me right in and made me feel completely comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my first tattoo and the outcome is absolutely gorgeous. My boyfriend and I highly recommend Rooster and Deja Vu.

My girlfriend got a tattoo here and it came out absolutely wonderful the staff was perfectly friendly and knowledgeable. They managed to squeeze her in the same day that we walked in. Rooster was the artist and he did such a great job. They also did the tattoo for a very reasonable price. Just cant say enough nice things about them please go see them for your tattoo and piercing needs.The picture that says visual search at the bottom is the photo we gave the artist of what she wanted and the other is how it cam out.

Got this amazing piece done by rooster had a great time getting it done and cant wait to come back for more tattoos in the future

They are very nice people they know what they are doing and they are amazing at what they do me and my wife went and go our daughters names and we are very happy with the results and they arnt very high priced

Rooster did my tattoo as a walk in, and not only is the quality aces the time it took wasn’t too bad. It was a nice environment. The pricing was great, and I’m glad I came

Adrian did a wonderful job and very quick. I went in for a tongue repierced but he explained to me what I needed to do before I got it redone I appreciate the education. Will be going back for a tattoo

Walked in today to get a nose piercing. The staff were friendly and courteous the entire time! Wait time was minimal and Joe did an amazing job with my piercing. I am very pleased with my experience here and would use this location again!

Very helpful amazing at their jobs the man who pierced my nose as well as my brothers did great! it’s looks good i was a bit worried cause i’m not used to piercings other than simple ears this was great they use a 16 gauge for hoops on noses also only 40 for silver.It looks good and every one there was so nice

Rooster did an incredible job on my memorial tattoo today. He really brought my vision of how I wanted to remember my mom to life. He’s the real deal... so real I’m going back in about two weeks for another one. Thanks Rooster... the GOAT of artistry .

I called the shop around 11:23am. I asked if they took walk-in; I was told yes. I arrived at the shop around 1pm. I spoke with the artist and we discussed prices/ i asked if I could get it today; I was told yes and to come back at 4pm. I returned around 3:30pm. I waited patiently until about 4:22pm. I asked the receptionist when will the tattoo artist return. I was told 10 minutes. The Tattoo artist did not return until 4:40pm. The artist did not apologize for his tardiness or take me back right away. He instead took a consult. During my waiting time, other people came in expecting him to be back as well. If you are unable to take someone, tell them. Do not inconvenience others. I am highly disappointed. That was my third shop attempting to get a tattoo. Where is the customer service?

I went to them to have them change a piercing I had done elsewhere because I didn’t trust the original place. Because it hasn’t been a full 6 weeks since I had the piercing done they wouldn’t help me. The reception guy was abruptly closed off and rude about it and the piercer wouldn’t even come out to see me; just told me to go back to the original place. They may do good work and that may be a rule in the piercing world but to not even acknowledge my issue I thought but was disrespectful and off putting.

The piercer was amazing and looked like he was Fredrick dursts dad and that was awesome he pierced my nose nicely and I fully trust that man to do another piercing and or tattoo! I recommend this place to anyone looking for professionals who take this job seriously!

First I wanna start off by saying Rooster is the best, I recommend him to any and everybody. All of the staff is very easy going and friendly. Absolutely love the girl up front, very kind and helpful. overall an amazing shop.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU GO HERE!! I originally left a good review but after my tattoo healed it looked horrible and so did my wifes. The first day we went we had to wait an hour on the tattoo artist JON, only for him to walk in with McDonalds and tell us to come back in an hour so he could eat. Since apparently it takes an hour to eat mcdonalds. He looked stoned and half asleep and was INCREDIBLEY UNPROFESSIONAL and rude. They were hand tats, which he offered to touch up if needed be. A month and a half later we came back and both the piercer and Jon the artist looked irritated to fix the problem and were very unprofessional. We walked back to talk to Jon and he didnt greet us and hardly made eye contact with my wife while she was trying to show him the mistake and what needed to be fix(mind you she had a small finger tat and the lines were super crooked after they healed) he looked at it and told her it didnt need a touch up Which anyone with eyes could see it does. Then I showed him what needed fixing on mine and he barely looked at me as well and continued tatting the girl in his chair. He just said with an attitude okay just go make an appointment up front. I cant believe the rudeness and Jon is one of the most unprofessional artist Ive ever met. And he cant draw a straight line to save his life. I paid him $320 for two small, basic tattoos and he wouldnt even acknowledge the problem and after both of their attitudes I certainly wasnt going to let him touch me again with a needle so I will PAY to get it fixed elsewhere with my artist from MB. This place is a joke and Jon is a bad artist and ripoff. The least an artist should be able to do is draw a straight line

Jon was my tattoo artist and he did an amazing job.My daughters name is Sophia Rose and I got him to do roses and her name 🌹🌹💜💜

I took my daughter to get hers and my nose pierced for her 14th birthday mother daughter thing and Adrian was so great to us both but made her feel very relaxed snd was really great with us. Highly recommend him for piercing. 😊We will be going back !!!!! 🖤

Joe did my nose piercing and he did amazing! Barley felt it and he was very nice!!

My first time visiting this shop was around four months ago and i was looking to get my nose repierced it was very fast, clean, and professionali just went back about a week ago to get a conch piercing it is still healing but i LOVE it adrian pierced me both times very nice shop would recommend

Ive always had a great experience here. Joe is awesome

I love the energy as well as the work they do there. Got this hamsa done by guy terrell, very fast & exactly what I wanted

I just got double nose piercings and it was an amazing experience. Joe was so nice and made sure I was ok physically before he did the next piercing. He also gave me great advice for stretching my ears . I will be back when I am ready to change my jewelry. Thank you again I will be recommending my friends and family to come here. :)

I had a great experience! Rooster was my artist and was very friendly and professional. I felt comfortable. It was my 36th bday present to myself and my BFF came with and Rooster did both our tattoos! I will definitely be back for more ink!!!💖💖💖 loved you guys!!

The front desk lady was so kind, and sweet! I got my bellybutton pierced and it was totally painless. I recommend this place 100%. :)

Very unprofessional!!!! Ive had four tattoos done here in the past but I had a consultation today about a neck tattoo and I wanted a star on my neck and the artist didnt know what a star was! Im good on this place!

Professional tattoo artists can handle walk ins appropriately. Being rude and allowing a potential customer to sit and wonder is no way to run any tattoo shop. Earths Edge takes walk ins.

Rude and clearly lazy. My friend and I went in for simple quick things (belly piercing and very small tattoo). We both got different sorry excuses for not being able to get these things done,even though it says walk ins welcome, yet I saw 4 staff members doing nothing. One was on his phone and was still on his phone 45 minutes later when I walked by to exit the mall. No customer service at all!!!!!!!

Great experience!! Very clean shop & the tattoo artist was very professional. Me & my daughter got our tattoos together.. We received exactly what we asked for❤

Got an appointment scheduled fast, super clean and professional. Rooster makes sure it’s work he’s proud to put his name on and it shows. Staff all seemed super friendly and funny. Will definitely be going back and would definitely recommend 👌🏼

The piercer was so nice! The lady at the front desk was also amazing and made me feel very welcomed. I got my industrial and bellybutton pierced there at the same time and the piercer was very good about checking in on me and was super respectful of me. Definitely plan to go back when these heal to get more!

Joe took out my dermal piercing with ease and was fast. Very professional and and sweet. I recommend

The ladies at the front desk were rude and were always on their phone. They even double booked me for the time I had. I scheduled my appointment two months before. But rooster (the tattoo artist) is the best!!

I have been going here for 6 years now! Adrian has done 10 of my piercings or more lol. He is so amazingly helpful and just awesome at what he does. I just got my eyebrow pierced a week ago and he has been so helpful with the aftercare and making sure my eyebrow is healing perfectly. Adrian is the best at what he does and that’s why I will continue going here. I would definitely recommend anyone wanting a tattoo or piercing to go here! I haven’t gotten a tattoo from here yet, but that will change very soon! I love this place, they are all so nice and welcoming and helpful.

Got a daith piercing for migraine relief. Ive had them for several years and have tried countless meds and alternative healing methods. The piercing gave me instant relief and I have been referring anyone I know with migraines to consider paying you a visit!Front desk staff member was so professional despite being very busy. The shop was clean and Adrian (piercer) was also super professional. Thank you for a great experience!Had some after care questions about a month after piercing. Adrian responded right away and told me exactly what I needed to do! Will def go back!

So Ive seen a lot of good stuff come out of here; piercings & tattoos alike. We walked in to schedule appointments & the receptionist was really not friendly at all. Acted like we were bothering her. She got an artist who also acted like he was a tattoo GOD & what we were wanting done was below him. We walked out very disappointed. Maybe they were having an off day or something because Ive been there a few times with no issues.

I have had 4 of my 5 tattoos done here. I will not be going anywhere else. Always great service and even greater work. Rooster is an amazing artist and made me feel very comfortable and is also very clean. He is funny and easy to talk to. I will definitely be coming here for future tattoos as long as you guys are open and I have money. ;)

I stopped by to get an actual belly ring not a fake one from Claires. the lady at the front desk even said take the belly ring out and get a real one so i purchased one. we’ll just recently i started noticing this one is fake as well it’s turned my belly green and the silver on the jewelry is changing colors as well. very disappointed🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m 18 and every time I go in there it’s the same thing “ your not fully developed and I need to grow “ high Metabolism ! It’s always something with them .. I went in a couple months ago the piercer tells me your not fully developed it’s always the same thing !

Seem really uninterested in what I had to say and didnt really care and was on the phone the whole time I’m explaining what kind of tattoo I wanted

I highly recommend Guy Therrell here. Amazing work and amazing experience 👏 😃😝

My daughter and I went for tattoos before she left to go to school.. First of all the girl at the counter was just rude. She has no business working with the public.. I should have took that as the first sign and left but with covid it’s been really hard to get in anywhere. We both wanted semi colons because I lost my oldest son (her brother) to suicide. I had asked to go with her being this was her first tattoo. I have had several tattoos and I have always had someone with me. It’s never been an issue. Anyways she just wanted a small heart with the semi colon she ended up with a tattoo that took up have of her wrist and crooked lines.. It looks like something you would have gotten from someone’s living room. Her first tattoo experience was completely ruined and she’s stuck with a bad tattoo.. When it was my turn I walk back and there’s a dude who I assume worked there with his wife and kids back there. So where was the problem with me being with my daughter? My tattoo also looks like it could have been done in someone’s living room. The stencil looked good and I wanted it teal and purple both parts.. the top of the semicolon was right but the bottom he just done in solid black.. My skin where the tattoo is feels like hamburger meat.. The only good thing I can say is the tattoo artist was a hoot. He definitely made you feel comfortable he just didn’t listen..But I would recommend going else where for a tattoo even if you have to wait a week or two.. I have definitely learned my lesson.

Guy was amazing. We had great conversation while he was doing my tattoo. He is a true artist! He was very professional, courteous just made me feel relaxed. That is exactly what you need when getting a 2+ hour tattoo.

Got my nose pierced they are kind fast and very clean Adrian was amazing and very informant about the process as he did it and the after care

I had my septum pierced here almost 6 months ago, and never healed. I cleaned it properly and it was not infected, but I had a sharp pain every time i touched the tip of my nose, and after taking my jewelry out, I couldn’t get it back in and went to another shop, where they recommended to not put it back in because it was pierced through the cartilage in the top of my nose, and that’s why it still hasn’t healed properly and it still hurts. The window for this piercing for healing should not be 6 months, and I had to let it re-heal since it was not pierced properly and could not fit the jewelry back in since it was so far up, and through thick cartilage. Not good.

Adrian was very polite making sure I was comfortable and satisfied while getting my nose pierced thank you for the experience!

Didnt act interested in doing work for me

They only place I know of that will finance tattoos. Thats priceless. Excellent artists and a great atmosphere.

I received my first tattoo yesterday from Guy he was amazing i hardly felt it and it turned out absolutely awesome i will be coming back to see Guy and have more tats

Adrian hands down best piercer.

Adrian was quick, gentle and very helpful when putting in my nose stud today! I went in panicked about a potentially closed piercing and he took care of it perfectly!

Im tattoo artist was great and did a great job with my tattoo!

Adrian was super helpful when it came to myself and my daughter getting our noses pierced. It was fast, he explained everything well and i truly felt like i could trust him.Also want to add the girl at the front desk was super friendly and helpful. We will most definitely be back soon!

I want to first state that I work the front desk at Deja Vu. Before I started working here, I was already a loyal client for years. I’ve been getting tattooed and pierced at this shop for around five years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else, regardless of if I worked here or not. The guys at this shop are all around wonderful people and the owner has never met a stranger. I highly recommend taking a look at the Facebook page and seeing the quality of work for yourself.

Guy is an amazing artist. He was extremely talented and professional. He took my idea and nailed it to a T. He checked on me throughout due to the time it took. But I would wholeheartedly come back to Guy!

Got my belly button pierced a few days ago, and honestly best decision I’ve made! so glad I chose this place, I will definitely be coming here for more piercings in the future. If you’re thinking about getting a piercing or tattoo here DO IT!

Wonderful Service, was a teeny bit on the pricy side, but all worth it in the end. Will did my tat. 100% recommend and will get another tattoo here.

I had my nose pierced here a month ago it was painless and they made sure to take their time and make sure it was done right. But now I have a question because I want my Naval pierced but I’m run would I still be able to run after getting it? Or how long would I have to wait to run ?

Adrian is so friendly and gentle. Definitely recommend Dejan Vu for piercing. Expert!

Great professional setting

Ive been pierced here several times, some by Adrian and some by Joe; theyre both piercing saints! Joe was super nice and always super gentle (as gentle as you can be when stabbing someone, lol). Adrian is a certified piercing god, and has handled several of my toughest piercings like an absolute pro.Also, the shop as a whole is extremely clean and professional. The front staff have always been super friendly and helpful. The piercing areas themselves are always really clean and have pull around curtains for privacy when needed.More recently during the Covid outbreak, theyve upped their protocols to make sure that all of their customers are taken care of and safe.I will definitely be a customer for life. I couldnt imagine being pierced anywhere else!

Got my tongue pierced about 2 years ago by Adrian & have NO problems with it whatsoever... hes VERY sweet, nice, friendly & gentle... VERY knowledgeable about what hes doing... got my faith pierced last night by him & it went GREAT!! If I decide to get any more piercings or tattoos, Ill go to Adrian at Deja Vu!!! Hes TOTALLY awesome! 2 thumbs up!!!

I went to get my nose pierced for my birthday. When we got there we were told that the piercer was out at lunch, and instead of checking us in so that we could get it done as soon as possible, the lady at the front desk sent us away. overall, she has a really bad attitude. when we came back, i was finally able to get pierced. Adrian was super nice, professional, and gentle. he did a great job with my piercing! if it wasn’t for the lady at the front desk, i would definitely come back.

I would go back because work was amazing... yes prices may be a bit higher but so worth it! If Girl at front wasnt so rude I would have given a 5 star. I was about to walk away if it wasnt for the artist that greeted us and took care of what we needed.

Always friendly and professional!! Were return customers & well be returning again!

Very clean. They were very professional and helpful here unlike other places Ive been. Definitely recommend.

So Im currently only 17 so most of the piercings Ive had are minor things, but Adrian for sure makes the whole process a lot easier for me as I do get a little nervous with the needles. He is so honest about everything but keeps me calm through it all hes great and the people in the front are just as great so caring and nice to people not once have I ever had a bad experience here and I have been 6 times I will for sure be coming back for anything I want done. Thank you guys for the great service.

Adrian is the most amazing person Ive ever had. He is gentle and he takes his time. Ive gone to him for several piercings. Plus he has just an awesome personality to!! Definitely going to keep referring him to all my family and friends!! Thank you Adrian youre the best!!Megan

Very impersonal, felt like I was bothering them. I was just visiting Winston Salem but I was very serious about getting some ink. Well needless to say I left with my cash in my pocket and no ink.

The girl at the front could be a little nicer but she was ok. Adrian was courteous, polite and very professional. He answered all my questions and made me feel at ease.Thank you Adrian for a great experience. Will be coming back to get more piercings!

The person who was supposed to do my nipple piercings never showed up

I always use Adrian for my piercings and he does amazing! Very professional, great pricing and talks you through it to keep your mind off what you’re having done. He’s done all of my piercings. I highly recommend him and the shop itself!

Friendly and professional! I got exactly what I asked for. I will be back soon!

Love Deja Vu! Joe is great. Wonderful place of business.

Well I havent been to this shop since they have changed everything around. But in my experiences when I have been there, It was GREAT! Will has done all my tattooz since Ive moved back to NC. Ive gotten about 3 or 4 piercings also. They did amazing! I hate needles but love tattooz and piercings!!! I do not remember the guys name, and I apologise, his chair was right across from Wills. Either way Ive loved coming there and I plan to come again for my birthday this year!!!! Had a baby so I need to get all my piercingz back🥺😁

I’m not a tattoo girl, but I LOVE piercings! Adrian is hands down THE BEST. Clean, honest, patient and professional. He’s done all of my piercings except for 1. I’ll never go anywhere else, and you shouldn’t either! His experience shows through his knowledge about the piercing he is about to do and the fact that he’s able to make it as painless as possible. Make sure you get the Zen aftercare spray, which makes the healing process super easy. I’d trust my body to no one but the best, and he’s it!

My 2 daughters and I had gotten piercings their by Adrian and would recommend him to anyone. He was very reassuring and patient with my daughters and I. Our piercings came out great and healed perfectly with following his after care instructions. We will definitely be going back again in the future .

Joe pierced my nose a few months ago. Great guy! The chick at the front was a little wishy washy attitude wise. Joe was awesome and I can’t wait to get him to change my nose ring out for me when this mess is over with. I can’t seem to get out on my own. Highly recommend them for piercing needs. I’ve not gotten ink from them yet though I’ve got more planned!

This place is by far the best for tattoo and piercing work. I will not being going anywhere else besides Deja Vu from now on out for future work. Everybody who works there has great customer skills and makes you feel so welcome. The work they do reflects their caring side and shows how they aim to make the customer happy with the work that is done. If ur looking for tat work or even just a piercing, and looking for a warm welcoming place this is the place to go! Dont waste time anywhere else when u can find everything u want and look to experience right at Deja Vu

Wouldnt go anywhere else! Great experience!

The people are amazing!! Adrian Sheppard did a wonderful job on my septum. This place cares about how it looks, how you feel, and exactly what you want! I would only go here for my piercings!

Went to get a tattoo priced and tattoo artist said the tattoo would look like trailer trash!

I went in to get a nose piercing in march, and it went well. Everyone was polite and the cost was very reasonable. I wasnt provided with any aftercare instructions or saline/antiseptic solution, but I made my own, took good care of it, and the piercing was fully healed after around 3 months with no pus, bleeding, or any other problems. I purchased a nose ring from amazon which was the same gauge (16 gauge) as the starter stud piercing. However, I couldnt remove the stud on my own, so I returned to have someone experienced help me. When I called, the person at the desk said it would be $5 to get my jewelry changed out, but when I arrived, I found out that it was $10 if didnt buy the replacement in shop. Its not a huge deal, but I did think it was a bit misleading, and I would have appreciated both prices over the phone.My biggest issue with my experience was that the employee that changed out my jewelry was pretty rough with my fully healed piercing. He used some sort of metal tool to forcefully move the stud which caused a lot of pain and bleeding. When I asked why it was bleeding, he told me that I might have torn it at some point before I came in.Honestly, Im disappointed that all of my efforts to care for my piercing for 3 months went to waste, but with a few more months of good care, it will heal again.TLDR: if youre getting it done for cheap, do anticipate a few problems

If you need a piercing, like the other reviews say, go see Adrian!! He is awesome!! He makes the process very quick and because of his experience its as painless as possible. Ive had other piercings and I can tell u he knows what he is doing. Very chill about any concerns (nerves) u may have, and willing to answer any questions. Thank you Adrian!!! Im telling yall he rocks!!

Girl up front was completely uninterested in helping us. We asked if they did septum piercings she says yea and continues to scroll on her phone. After waiting for about 5 seconds I asked can we get one done she looks up at me rolls her eyes and says sure. After we got done doing the paperwork we went back and the guy who did the pircing was nice funny too he made the experience better but she was just so awful I had to tell people about it.

Beth and Roe and all of the amazing staff are my favorite. This is the best place in Winston and North Carolina as well. They work with you and you make a lasting connection with your artist. Roe is mine. Beth at the front is so funny and kind she always has a smile on and likes to make jokes and have fun! It’s a great environment and I wouldn’t chose anywhere else for my art! Thank you to all of the amazing people at Deja Vu. You are my second home!

I dated a woman that got a decent tattoo from this parlor and by the way she acted she really enjoyed them, she trusted them, and they did goog work, and the only reason I cant give them a five star because I didnt get the tattoo and to get a five star you have to be great and I have to experience for myself in person etc.

I had my lip pierced here and was impressed. Ive had quite a few piercings from different places, and I have to say this one is probably the top shop. I thought the price was a little higher than what Im used to, but was definitely worth it, and I will definitely be back next time for more. I walked in, and within 15 minutes was walking back out, already finished.

THIS IS THE WORST THE PLACE SMELLS TERRIBLE ITS GROSS THIER TATTOO ARE HORRIBLE IT CAUSES SCARING STAY AWAY OR IF YOU WANT TO BE SCARRED IF NOT RUN!

Guy Terrell is the best. Had tattoo previously done at another WS tattoo shop and was not impressed. Went to Deja Vu and Guy did an amazing job. He is a very talented, patient and skilled artist who took his time to make sure I got what I wanted. I will never go anywhere else!

Rooster is the man! Our grandma passed away so my sisters and I went to Deja Vu to get matching tattoos and Rooster did an amazing job.

Wanted to give a shout out to Beth at the front counter and my artist was Roe which he was amazing. This is the best place in Winston. Beth at the front is always funny and kind she always has a smile on and likes to make jokes and have fun! It’s a great environment and I wouldn’t chose anywhere else for my art! Roe always make sure you are happy all the way to the end, and listens to your ideas and than goes and puts it all together, he is very patient. Love this place!!!

Attentive and friendly staff noticed my nerves. They were kind and aware enough to put on a stencil and let me think about the location of my tat longer (aka live with the stencil for a while & return a later date). 😍 They also did an excellent job, hurt less than expected! We recommend Rooster!

I love Adrian! He has done all my piercings. He’s patient, professional and I’ve never had a problem with any of my piercings.

By far one of the best Tattoo shops I have ever been to. I was not sure about getting work done from the mall but it actually made it easier and more inviting. the shop is really modern and up to date. stands out from the rest. the front desk girl was warm and welcoming, Tattoo artist William is very talented. Im from California the tattoo mecca and this place is cleaner and more on point than any of the shops back home. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat.

For the past 2 years, I’ve been coming to Deja Vu. Either to come get work done on myself, or to go with a friend who I’ve referred. I’ve NEVER had a single problem here! And any time I’ve walked in they know who I am and talk to me like an old friend that they haven’t seen in a while!!!Beth who is ALWAYS at the front desk when I come! Is amazing, and always works with me, for what I NEED.Adrian, has done every piercing on me!!And I probably will never go to anyone else, simple because I trust his judgment.If you’ve been to a different shop previously, and you enjoy that shop then, go where you’re comfortable. But please DO NOT, come and hate on the people that I trust with my skin/ body.I love Deja Vu!

First desk, not to friendly

I went and got multiple piercings today from Adrian. He was extremely professional and made sure I was okay and comfortable the whole time. I will definitely be back.

Adrian did my daith piercing and a belly button piercing. Very happy with both experiences. Clean and professional business. Knowledgeable and informative. As quick and painless as a piercing could possibly be.

I had my nose pierced here about 4 months ago. Adrian was the one to do my piercing and he would be the only one that i would trust to do any more piercings. i’ve had my nose pierced twice at a different shop with a 20g and it didn’t heal nearly as well. Adrian pierced my nose with a 16g and it healed a lot quicker and better. he’s very gentle and talks you through the process which i really appreciate. he takes his time and answers any questions you may have. i would definitely recommend and i will be back ☺️

Wanted my nose pierced again, but my piercer was out of town and I heard great things about this place. They put a 16g lip piercing in my nose instead of an actual nose stud, I would have never been able to take it out myself. They were very quick and clean about it, however, I wish I would’ve received more information and been given the choice of an 18g or 20g instead of a 16g labret.
