"I am disappointed with the atmosphere of the shop and felt very uncomfortable."
"Good quality piercings, and no issues surrounding outcome of procedure, however, depending on where you get it done you can end up in a cramped messy, narrow room with hardly any space to feel comfortable."

"Also vibes were also off, it was uncomfortable and intimidating."
