About three months ago I got my naval pierced here with Georgia and had a lovely experience, today I wanted to get another piercing and she took her time explaining the piercing and explained why my anatomy didn’t work out(this unfortunately had to happen twice) but we found another piercing and i decided to get my third lobes and I love it. Georgia takes her time and walks you through what’s going to happen and makes you feel more at ease with the process, if your looking for a piercer I would highly recommend coming here and asking for Georgia.
Just got my nose pierced and honestly was a great experience, my piercer was Sarah and she was super sweet and understanding. I had been getting light headed and basically passed out and she was straight on it and instantly grabbed me and put me on the chair and iced me down and gave me food, and water. The atmosphere was amazing and definitely think you should go to river rats if you want to get anything done, i DEFINITELY will be going again.
