NYC people, i need your help!

[koncupiscence]

i am hoping to get pierced sometime within the next month, however, i have no idea where to go. i went to one place years ago on 8th street, which seemed decent, but that was just for ear cartilage, nothing too difficult. i've looked on-line, but you can't really tell how experienced/clean/reputable they are. in my experience, word of mouth is usually the best bet. people seem to find and hang on to their One True Piercer whom they trust and send all their friends to (which is what i'm hoping for here).

so if anyone has any recommendations i would be most grateful! places you been to and liked, places to avoid. even if it's just, "well, my friend goes here..." or "i've heard good things about this guy". any info whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!

...in fact, while you're at it, if you have any rec's for tattoo parlors, that would be helpful as well.

THANKS! =)

Have you thought about going to the place where Elijah and Orli brought Sean Bean to get his Fellowship tattoo? It is called Fun City Tattoo. They used to have a gallery of pics of famous people who have visited. Johnny has gone there too...

I think they are just tattoos though, no piercings. If you call them they might reccommend someplace.

But it is a good idea to try and get a personal rec from someone if you can.

Obviously, being across the continent, I have no recs. But omg are you getting pierced what I think you're getting pierced??

And as for Sean, he had already left NZ when they did the tattoos. And he was terrified of needles, too, so Orlando grabbed him when some of them were in NYC and they all went down and he got it.
