Totally Pagoda

DONT PIERCE CARTILAGES WITH A GUN ANYMORE!nI got my cartilage pierced here in October, kept it clean with salt water, and twisted everyday. No matter what was always getting a crust, and I couldn’t sleep on that side since I first got the piercing. 2 months later I brushed it accidentally harder than usual and it became infected! got so swollen my ear started to scab over to earring and my cartilage completely swallowed the front. At urgent care at the moment having to spend $120 for them to get this mess fixed. Maybe my ears are bad with piercings, but I should’ve listened to always going with a needle. I know pagoda doesn’t offer the piercing with a needle it’s with a gun, but they should know it shouldn’t be done like this. they should inform customers that the best idea would go to a professional with a sterile needle. not a gun that will pierce at a strong impact and totally traumatize the cartilage.

I got my ears pierced maybe 5 or 6 years ago at this shop. The employees were kind, but they completely misplaced my lobe piercing, they are in the middle of my ears. Also, they use a piercing gun, so they aren't licensed pros.
