Reviewed by Mark Kennedy <mken...@netcon.net.au> who received an ear
piercing from Denise: "The shop was very compact but well organised and
laid out; a small waiting room area and two piercing studios in separate
rooms which resembled a hospital consulting room. A complete array of
jewelry on display, prices competitive, range of aftercare products
available. A display of piercing photos. Staff were very friendly and
informed and were prepated to answer all questions in detail. Smoking was
not allowed as I remember. Denise was gentle and inspired trust and
confidence through her matter of fact approach. She was prepared to chat
and discussed the procedure and likely after effects clearly. Diplomas
from tertiary training providers attesting to hygiene and other courses.
Business card sized printed aftercare directions twice daily cleaning with
Listerine, wash hands before touching; the card was not marked
specifically for any piercing. The stud I got for my piercing is a an ear
piercing stud. I had the choice of that or a sleeper or a S/S bb but
decided to go for the stone. It turned out fine although next time I will
go back to a needle." Submitted: 2/98

cartilage piercing: "All the staff are really nice and helpful. No one
else is allowed in the piercing room except the piercer and piercee. With
every pierce you get a free 8 week check-up and a bottle of piercing wash.
The jewellery was in a sterile solution; the tools were opened in front of
me from autoclaved sterile bags. I don't even remember the piercer's name
but he was really nice and answered all my questions and didn't rush me
into the piercing at all. At my eight week check-up Lynette changed my
stud to a CBR (I was pierced with a ring but had to change the ring to a
stud due to problems with my school and parents). They warned me of the
problems with a stud before they put it in. If I had any questions just to
call and ask for her, which I thought was pretty good, since she is fairly
busy because she is the manager there."

Reviewed by Mark Kennedy <mken...@bendigo.net.au> who received a nipple
piercing from Norman: "The studio was compact but efficiently laid out;
the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. All tools were
sterilized in an autoclave, jewelry was sterilized in Hibiclens. Piercer
washed hands with antiseptic and wore sterile gloves at all times. Norman
was one of the most congenial, helpful and patient/understanding and
sincere persons I have ever met; he was extremely knowledgeable and
answered all manner of questions with confidence and was totally
respectful of my privacy. He was able to discuss and answer my questions
in an informed and confident manner. After discussion of my personal
preferences, the size and shape of my nipple and the implications for
healing and wear he recommended that I select from 3 different gauges.
I was given extensive verbal instructions which included advice on
aftercare hygiene, use of antibacterial soaps, use of disposal Betadine
swabs, stages in the healing process. This was supplemented with a 1 page
fact sheet. However, at this time I read a warning on r.a.b. about
Betadine and ceased to use this after the first week; this seemed to solve
a skin irritation that had developed. I was encouraged to call at anytime
with any questions or problems." Submitted: 9/96

insist to get all the details. Relatively expensive. Jewelry not

Piercers / owners: Conny & Reinhard Wilhelm
Reviewed by Madeleine Hirsch <madelein...@kl.maus.de> who received
two outer labia, four inner labia, and horizontal clit hood piercings:
"They don't use needles but very sharp single-use studs with piercing gun
(not earlobe gun) and no clamps. My inner labia and clithood piercings
barely hurt at all, but my outer labia were horrible. I don't know if it
would have been better with a needle. They have developed their kind of
gun over about 25 years and claim their method to minimalize pain and
healing time. They also do the more trouble-free piercings only (no navel,
no eyebrow, no piercings through glans or clitoris).
"The studio is very large, light and comfortable, & a smaller room where
you can sit down and discuss with the piercers. Basic 18 kt gold or
platinum jewellery in stock (they won't use SSS as initial jewellery).
"I'm not so happy about their hygiene. They have an autoclave and they use
it for jewellery and piercing studs, they wear gloves of course, but I'm
not sure if they autoclave their gun between customers. I'll ask about
autoclaving the gun when I call Conny next time.
"They spend about two hours with every visitor/couple, including a nice
cup of coffee and a lots of talk about aftercare when the piercing is
done. One thing I realized is Reinhard being a little rough with his
pliers. I noted some irritation and soreness for about two weeks, then I
discovered tiny scratches on the ring. Conny told me either to send her
the ring or have it repolished at a local goldsmith, which I did."

<http://www.rhein-ruhr.de/~fbodenschatz/> who received nipple,
Prince Albert, and three frenum piercings from Martina:
"The shop has two separate piercing rooms (quiet, clean and comfy) in
the back. I had a 2.2mm PA done by Martina, inside out with a trokar
under local anesthesia. The day after the piercing was a holiday but
Martina asked me to call her on her mobile phone just to make sure I
was o.k. and to inquire about any complications. I'd say that's great
customer service. Martina recommended Braunol (Iodine solution),
Tyrosur (antibiotic) and camomile for aftercare. I haven't tried any
other piercers yet (and probably won't) but I would recommend Martina
to anyone in that area. She's very friendly, funny but always very
concentrated." Submitted: 8/97

nostril piercing from Guy: "Very clean shop, no smoking permitted. The
staff were all friendly and helpful. The forceps had been sterilized in an
autoclave, fresh needles, sterile jewelry in unopened package. I was shown
the packages with the sterilization marks. He put on fresh gloves when
beginning. Changing wasn't necessary. Very nice deft touch; it was over so
quickly I hardly noticed. The placement was marked ahead of time and shown
to me for approval. Nostril screw, 18 gauge, not sure of length; there was
only one size and gauge available. Aftercare instructions: clean with
saline solution, move jewelry around. I cleaned with saline but developed
a follicular cyst. I purchased the only available antiseptic which turns
out to be something like dilute Hibiclens. I rinsed thoroughly with saline
after cleaning with it. I've had the pierce one month. Cyst has cleared up
and crusties are almost non-existent now. I learned about the cyst from
the Piercing FAQ and since it healed on its own I didn't go back to the
shop to ask about it." Submitted: 11/97

Reviewed by Bart Stuut <gen...@xs4all.nl> who received PA and both
nipple piercings from Willem: "A very clean and hospitable environment.
You can only visit the place after making an appointment. Thus they have
enough time for every customer. Sterilisation of tools and jewelry
was explained to my satisfaction. Packages were opened infront of me.
The (piercers) works in pairs, meaning that one will hand material to
the other so that the piercer can focus on the task at hand, like what
you expect in a surgical environment. Willem worked as a nurse and after
that he manufactured jewelry. Thanks to the last he can provide
extraordinary jewelry. I have been back two times, once just to chat,
once to get some advice." 4/97

Reviewed by Frank Hurst <y...@ihug.co.nz> who received PA and both
nipple piercings from Shane: "The Staff are most friendly and helpful.
All tools autoclaved. The waiting area is very relaxing and caring.
Shawn's bedside manner is extremely caring in all aspects. The piercing
area is very clean and Shawn is very conscious of the need for
sterilisation of areas. I personally would have no problem in using the
shop again as [as compared to] some of the others I have seen in the
Auckland area." Submitted: 6/96

Piercer: Christina
Reviewed by Beatrice Vromant <vro...@online.no> who received two
tongue piercings from Christina: "The waiting area was nice, no
smoking, with pictures and newspaper articals about the studio and
their employees. The piercer was a bit "hardened" and if you were
looking for a bit sympathy you would not get it from her, maybe
because she has about 50 piercings from her neck up! She was very
quick and effective but her bedside manners sucked! Tools, needles,
jewelry sterilized by autoclave." Submitted: 4/98
