Aberration — Attraction in Centralia

This was my first time going to Aberration Piercing and seeing Aaron as a piercer. I was left with an amazing experience, so much so that I'll be returning for future piercings/recommending people to him and his shop.

I called Lucky No. 3 to schedule a piercing, I haven't been there in YEARS (I probably want to say five or more). Sadly, Aaron was out that day so I scheduled for the next afternoon. The next day, Aaron got a hold of me and told me we would have to reschedule (which was perfectly fine by me). While doing so, he was super apologetic and kind over the phone/text. We rescheduled a day and were set for the piercing.

I was a little confused on where to find Aaron, after being he told he was in a separate shop from Lucky No. 3. But the person behind the counter at Lucky No. 3 was very sweet and walked me and my sister to Aaron's shop while making pleasant conversation. Upon walking in, with my sister, him and the person behind the register greeted us with kindness. Immediately, you felt a sense of just general calmness in the air. They were super funny while being professional and were exceptionally nice. Aaron educated me about the type of piercing he does/the method he uses, since it was different from the last piercer I saw. He answered every question, educated me on my nose and how it should be pierced, while also calming any nerves I may have had by cracking jokes/telling stories.

I was getting a nostril piercing on my right side to match my other nostril piercing on the left. During the preparation process for the piercing, he made sure it was lined up as much as he could (he informed me that it wouldn't be perfect cause the human body isn't symmetrical itself, which is very true). He kept checking over the dot that indicated where the piercing would be, fixing it. Then he gave me the mirror to check and told me I could ask him to move it to my liking, if need be. I didn't need to edit it at all, because he got it perfect. He even reminded me again that if I didn't like the spot after the piercing, he would fix it for me free of charge. My sister said he was also extremely hygienic/clean with every tool, body jewelry, and everything he handled or touched— including using hand sanitizer multiple times and changing his gloves a number of times. He kept checking my comfort levels as well, asking me if I was in any pain or if I was alright. After he was finished piercing, he went and cleaned up all the iodine/blood/and whatever else around the stud and my nose (and checked my comfort levels again). There was no swelling or redness/still is not any after multiple hours.

The shop itself was highly organized, welcoming, and clean. There is a vintage vibe about it that anyone can become comfortable with. And the shop consent form, where they can contact you about anything regarding the piercing, had a "preferred pronouns" spot, which was so so nice to see. I have been to many doctor's offices that don't even have this option, so it was such a pleasant surprise that left me smiling.

As my sister and I left the shop, we both looked at each other and said "What a cool f*cking dude." Cause he was geuninely just an awesome guy and excellent piercer. He definitely cares for his clients, their well-being, and their satsification levels. A $10 tip and five stars from me! Oh.. and definitely another visit for a piercing when I get the...

If I could I'd give it more stars, i've gone here on two seperate occasions and can't get over how amazing the place is! The piercing process is super clean and well done. The environment of the entire place is super unique and makes you more comfortable. I had Norah Pierce me and she was AMAZING, for my first ever piercing I was super nervous and she absolutely helped with any nerves. She walked me through the whole process and was in no rush. My second time coming in was smooth as well, a couple days later I wanted to change the tops because I kept catching them and hurting my new piercing and so I called. I stopped in today and got them changed super fast and super painless! They have an amazing environment that makes you feel welcomed and makes it known there's no dumb question! Staff are super kind and hilarious. I'm not sure if I want more piercings but if I decide I do I'm definitely going...
