I just got my navel pierced and I must say that I was surprised at how easy it was. I want to thank you all for the time that you spent assuring me that it would be relatively easy and it was. I will recommend Westcoast Piercing to all of my friends. You guys are friendly, professional and very well informed about your industry. I am very happy with my navel piercing. It looks great! Thank you very much.

Kelly is absolutely spectacular! I've gotten body piercings done elsewhere, but after coming to WestCoast Piercing, I refuse to go elsewhere to get my piercings done. Kelly is very informative, he walked me through the piercing and told me exactly what's going to happen. He's also friendly and extremely easy and fun to talk to. And this isn't just during Business Hours. I called him on HIS DAY OFF because I had a layer of skin grown over my tongue retainer, it sounded like i woke him up, yet he was so nice and calmed me down and walked me through what i needed to do to get it out. And everytime I have to email him with a question, he responds very quickly. Thanks for everything! Keep up your wonderfulness : )

I just wanted to say thank you and I was very impressed by how clean your shop was I had never really been in a piercing place since I was about 5. I kind of expected it to be a little bit dirty but I was wrong and also how much information the people there knew about what they were doing it was a big help and you did it all and still made me laugh. I told all my

friends about your shop...

I got my right nostril pierced at the Cloverdale rodeo and my buddy got his nipple done. Wanted to let you guys know what a great job you did. I was very happy with the service and extremely happy with my piercing.

You guys rock!

So I came in today to get my tongue pierced and I have to say it was the easiest thing ever. You guys were very friendly plus you made sure I knew how to take care of it. I'm really surprised because my tongue isn't swelling at all and now that I'm semi-used to the feeling of a bar being in my mouth I can talk fine. I can even eat. I can see the healing period for this one being really short. Thanks again!

TO: Kelly and crew, Thanks!

I was in Dec 31 with my daughter Victoria and friend Rachel (navel and nose). I have never thought of piercing for myself, much more a tattoo girl - but you made the experience for Victoria a good one. (So much so I fear more piercings are in her future!!)

I was impressed by your commitment to ensure your clients are well informed as to what they are getting into and what the aftercare that is required is. I just wanted to say Thank you for a good experience. Thank you for a clean shop, friendly and knowledgeable staff and a sense of humour about it all!

We will be passing on your name to anyone looking for a piercer!

Thank you!

....We are very happy with our piercings (even though my ear still hurts like sh*t), and I have already had many compliments on my nose stud. I have already given my spare business card away. I should have grabbed a few more. Thanks again for a good piercing, great clean environment, very informative aftercare and your knowledge of placement of the piercings.

...I felt so comfortable in your place that not only did my daughter have her nose pierced, but I did also. Now she has a hoop and I have a screw. You made it seem so easy! and it was! I am very pleased with my nose piercing and so is my daughter.

All in all Kelly, it was a great experience and I have told everyone that I know, if they are even going to consider a piercing - yes, even their ears, to go to you!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the awesome webbing piercing (between thumb & pointer) you did for me last thursday. It doesn't hurt at all now, no redness & it looks awesome!!!!

I've wanted to get this piercing done since I was 12, I actually tried to pierce it myself but that's a long story...... Thanks for being as knowledgeable & caring as you are about
people and thier piercings.

I am a parent of a17 year old male who is very intrigued by the entire piercing experience.
I have taken the time to read your web site and must tell you that even though I may not like the piercing (some more than others) it makes me feel much better as a parent to know that your establishment is where he and his friends go to get pierced.
I am relieved that you take such preventative measures to ensure cleanliness and professionalism and I am even more thankful that you have the reputation you do so these young people can express themselves in a safe and well-informed environment.
As a parent who does not fully agree I would like to thank you for providing your services in the way in which you do because injury and disease are my worst fears.

I appreciate you taking the time to be thorough when explaining things... I had my nose pierced 8 days ago and things are going well with it. One wouldn't even think I had it pierced such a short time ago, as it looks so healed on the outside. (By the way, I love the Dragon Mist spray!) I want to stick with the titanium, as it is so light and comfortable I don't ever feel it on my nose. Thanks!

Hey Kelly, this is Steve B.,the guy with the maddison.This is a cool thing dude,either people like it or hate it. Most people think it's a necklace, but when they look closer to see it they say, "wow man that's cool! l thought it was a chain, but that looks cool". It hasnt got infected at all and its doing fine thanks alot

I went to the Westcoast Piercing studio at 3:10, right after school. The place seemed very clean, smelled sterile, and was overall a very professional place. I informed Kelly that I was here to get my nipple pierced, and we then went over jewelry options. Being a burger-flipping high school student I opted for the basic 14 gauge surgical steel ring. I was a little nervous that my nipples might be too small, but he informed me that they weren't and he had pierced nipple half the size. He then brought me into the back room and went over how the procedure would happen; he cleaned my nipple and marked it on either side. He then had me look in the mirror to see if they seemed straight, I thought they did and he checked one more time and confirmed it. I then laid down on one of those benches you see in a doctors office, and gripped the sides tightly with my hands. All I could think of was how much it would hurt. I stared at the roof and didn't even look at any of the tools. He then told me he would clamp my nipple and that it would feel a little uncomfortable, he also reminded me that the tighter the clamp was the less I would feel the piercing. When the clamp was put on it didn't hurt at all, just a slight pinching, but nothing more. I forget exactly what happened next, all I remember is the needle piercing my nipple. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would, if you've ever got a purple nerpel it isn't as bad. He then slid the ring in, put in the bead and I was done.

... I'd encourage anyone who is thinking of getting his or her nipple pierced to go for it. It doesn't hurt as much as you think. And if it makes you feel better, I think they are beautiful. It was a rewarding experience and I can't wait to get my next one.

P.K.

... I was in to get my first piercing (since I had my ears done when I was 4!) and I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with
it. I have been wanting to have it done for years and now I feel so great that I finally went through with it!

Your facility is clean and comfortable and you really put me at ease throughout the procedure.(all 10 seconds of it!) Thanks again making the experience a great one. Good luck this summer at all of your events!
