Thank you.

Yeap...still don't know. Hmm...what parts of town are sketchy, perhaps that will help be the judge?

Anyone been to any of these places?

Barton Street is sketch. Before I moved to Ham for Mac (I lived in Oakville before) my dad said stay away from Barton. My friend would go there late at night and he saw prostitutes and the like down there... no joke.

Cottage 13 or Sinkin' Ink.

I got a piercing at cottage, and a tattoo and a piercing at Sinkin'.

Stay away from the rest...they're sketch.

Wah. Tanks for zee tips.

I looked on the website but I couldn't really get a clear idea of what the piercer is capable of. I mean....I get freaky shit done. Like...really obscure piercings...not that I have a problem with jumping into Toronto, it's just nice to have some place close. So...Cottage vs. Sinkin'...better or worse?

I suppose it depends on what you want to get done and the piercers experience. Your best bet is likely to wait and talk to one or two from each parlor. They should have portfolios for you to see.

Then make your call.

id say cottage is cleaner... but they are pretty close to each other, so it wouldnt hurt to check both of them out before choosing. =p
