This weeks piercing special is tongues! For only $20 you too can get your tongue pierced! Whooo Hoooo!

On another note: The Venue News, a local music rag, did an article on the shop. We just read it and have to make a public statement. IT WAS TERRIBLE! Countless typos and incorrect facts. Misspelling of names and things we didn't even say. The worst part is it comes across as we wrote the thing ourselves. If you happen to read this article, please disregard it. You can even feel free to email them and tell them it sucked. We are very disappointed with the outcome. Humph.

I've been terrible!

2009-08-27T11:39:00.001-07:00

With all stuff going on lately I have been a bad blogger! So here's my new update! You can yell at me later. The piercing of the week is nipples! Yay!

2009-02-09T10:46:00.000-08:00

So I had the pleasure today of meeting a nice young college man by the name of Connor. Connor is in a Conceptual Art class and needed help with a project. I couldn't turn down an aspiring artist so I helped him out. He wrote out the Declaration of his Existence and I transfered it to his back with the help of tattoo stencils and sharpies. He is having people sign his declaration as proof of his existence. Neat eh? Lets all wish him luck and I will update later to let you know how it went!

It's Monday again!
