Body piercing in Canberra?

Hey mcmc,
i am looking to get labret done. Have you got yourself pierced ?
If yes, then please tell about the experience .

I know you said Civic, hell this recommendation isn’t even Canberra but I was down Huskisson recently and they have a new tattoo and piercing joint in the main st. I got a tatt done and I can highly recommend their services when next you’re down the coast.

Tattoo Culture used to be very very good, but their piercer recently moved and I’ve heard that their new piercer is somewhat inexperienced. I’d definitely say Freestyle as that’s where my old piercer told me to go, and they have a very good reputation.

I took my friend’s elderly mother there about 3 weeks ago to get her ears redone (dodgy hairdresser job meant scarring and what not, and resulting scar tissue) and the piercer was Tia (recommended by a friend with multiple body piercings). Tia was experienced, professional and BIG on aftercare … she was careful, knowledgeable and took her time. Can’t say how the pricing compares, but it was $70 a lobe ICYI. Perhaps the previous person moved on?

However, may be too far for the OP to go.

The last piercing I had from Justin was about a year ago now – He was closing that week, as he had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease…

I’ve had numerous tattoos & piercings done at Freestyle – Would highly recommend them for both.

Catch the 300 from civic to UC, and get it done there.

+1, accompanied my 16 year old daughter to get hers done here a few weeks ago, it’s in a hairdresser so none of the seedy tattoo stuff going on, he made me inspect all the Autoclaved equipment and did an excellent job and spent a long time explaining the after care

Funny, I like my piercings done where there’s none of that seedy hairdressing stuff going on.

haha,I think it’s a separate business, it has it’s own room.

I’m not going to take my 16 yo into a bikie run tattoo parlour.

+1 on the bolt. Or a large master padlock.

I went to Adrenalin in Mckellar, admittedly some time ago, but was very good then. Pretty sure he’s still around, is in the yellow pages.

You should be fine to get into Freestyle…. they’ll usually squeeze you in, but they might just ask you to come back in half an hour or something. :).

I think the advantage of going to Freestyle is that piercing is all Beau does… where-as Hairhouse Warehouse just do it on the side to make a little bit more $$…

Where ever you go, just make sure they line it up straight. 5 years after I had mine done… it’s totally crooked……. FAIL!
