When people are asked about Body Exotic, there's only two responses given, either people love em, or they hate em. Black and white, night and day.
Fortunately I have had the pleasure of seeing a "hater" first hand. She was a 16 year old dipshit that just wanted to get a hole in her body and complained about a piercing she got at another place that got infected.
The staff informerd her that they would not pierce her because she was a minor, and informed her that if she found a place that pierces minors to stay away, as they are probably hurting for cash and are going to likely be cutting corners in other places. Then after asking how her peircing got infected (Belly button) they proceeded to teach her proper proceedures on cleansing it, to which she grew irritated and assured then that their 10+ years of piercing experience was wrong... She then called them stupid and walked out.
Bil is the man. He's done all my piercings, and they are STILL there after over 10 years. Eyebrow peircings are notorious for rejection, and 10 years is considered an exceptionally long period of time. That's the kind of quality you get when you get it done right!
To note, Bil is also an expert in "alternative piercings" as well. After a long time of bringing him friends and having him goad me... I got my wang speared. It was part of a deal that I couldnt' back out of, as I had said the magical phrais "You get your nipples done, I'll pierce my dick." Who knew that 2 years later my bluff would be called... To be honest I made out better in the deal! Aside from the rare 18 hours of non-stop bleeding, it has served me exceptionally well!
To note, the only reason Body Exotic has not gotten their fifth star, is because they refuse to use higher quality jewlery. Most bay area Piercing salons use a company called Ananometal, which is local, and uses superior metals and techniques in production, like dimpled balls for larger guages, rather than dimbled rings. Dimpled rings run the risk of housing bacteria and actually 'micro-tearing' flesh.
