As someone who enjoys documenting my experiences as a vlogger, I found it quite frustrating when visiting this piercing shop in Starkville. Despite the excitement of getting a new piercing, being told I couldn’t record any part of the process diminished the overall experience. Since I had to rely on my husband sneaking recordings for me, it felt like there was a lack of transparency and openness at the shop. In addition to the recording restrictions, the vibe of the shop did not impress me much. For anyone considering visiting a piercing studio, it’s important to feel comfortable and welcomed, especially if you plan to share your experience online or want detailed insights before making a decision. I also noticed a small, itchy feeling at one point — sometimes getting a piercing can lead to minor discomfort like itchiness, and so ensuring the studio provides aftercare advice is crucial. If you are a content creator or simply want a comfortable piercer with a friendly environment, I’d suggest exploring other options in neighboring areas or researching shops with more flexible policies. It’s always good to ask upfront about recording permissions if you want to vlog your journey. Remember, your comfort and satisfaction should come first when getting body art like piercings! Overall, my visit served as a reminder that not all studios cater well to people who want to share their experience publicly, and it’s always helpful to do thorough research. Hopefully, this helps others avoid a less-than-ideal visit and find a place where both the piercing and the atmosphere are 10/10.
