I got pierced by Cherish a few months ago. I got my navel (belly button) and my chest pierced. I wanted to start by saying Cherish is a wonderful person, she was super sweet and very kind. She always answered my texts when I needed help or had questions. But I had major issues. My belly button and chest piercings were infected for months, it finally got to the point where I had to get all of them removed. Cherish ended up removing my belly button piercing after multiple different jewelry changes due to the infection. I ended up going to a different piercer months later to look at my infected chest.

I've now gotten 16 tattoos here. It's a little overdue, but I want to give a big shout out to Mark Horton and everybody at Papacanink Art & Tattoos.
