I just wanted to send a very special shoutout to Justin (piercer) who helped us on very short notice—my 9 year old had an earring that got enveloped by her ear! She was in serious pain and terrified. I was not prepared for this aspect of parenting. Justin spent well over a patient hour explaining and gently coaxing and waiting, often just waiting, for her to calm down enough for him to be able to even look at her ear. Apparently he’s a magician because two candy canes later we left with it safely removed and changed out. Y’all, and then after this, the kindest human he is only charged for a consult. I recognize that’s not something he can probably normally do but say all that to say this highly experienced professional also has a very kind heart and that makes us want to come back for all our piercing needs. I’m deathly afraid of needles so I won’t personally but think everyone else reading this should lol it should also be noted he was very well-versed and understanding of how to approach such a traumatic situation within the context of neurodiversity! I can’t thank him/y’all enough! And highly, highly recommend!
