I've had four piercings done at this place over the past two years -labret, septum, tragus, smiley. I trusted one of the girls that worked there and after she moved away I thought I could still rely on the people that worked there. I had a seamless hoop in my septum that I needed to have removed with pliers (ok, i bought it elsewhere, but since I was buying new jewelry there I didn't think it was a big deal to have the girl attending me take it out). No one was in the shop when I went in, and the girl helped me pick out new jewelry. I felt pressured to buy something expensive, but I told her I wanted something cheaper, since I already had a gold hoop -why do I want another one?! She told me the ring I selected would need to be stretched but that she could do it. The store quickly filled up with more customers and I found myself having to wait for all of them, since I was only spending 40$. I sat and waited and when I finally went in to the piercing room she seemed really rushed and stressed. I thought she was going to rip my septum the way she tugged to get my ring open! She kept commenting ""you are pierced so high"" in an annoyed way, suggesting that I was pierced poorly. I was livid when she said again, ""you are pierced so high! Where did you get this done?"" I smiled big and said, ""here"". I have loved my septum ring since I got it done. I actually knew it was pierced high because the former girl had placed it there so the ring wouldnt hang so low! The force she used to stretch my ring up was insane. She left me with a huge taper stuck in my nose, and had me wait outside so she could help another client in the room. Since then, I realized that the stretch caused a blowout. I will no longer be going to Venus for my piercing needs. While I used to swear by it, my last experience has convinced me that the place is unorganized and unprofessional.
Pros: Lovely Jewelry
Cons: Terrible Service
