I got my first double lobe piercings in January, compliments of my parents for Christmas. I was super excited and had done countless research on the best and most affordable piercers in the Seattle area. A friend recommended Laughing Buddha after her positive experience with Colin. However, I did not see that level of professionalism during my visit. He pierced my right earlobe so close to my face that the earring post irritated the skin and caused my lymph node to become infected. I've seen my general physician AND a dermatologist in hopes of saving the piercing. Despite multiple rounds of oral and topical antibiotics, the irritation is still present (in the form of a bump) and I am needing to protect the skin behind with a band-aid. I have been struggling to decide whether or not to take the piercing out because of the high price my parents have paid and do not want to pay for a re-piercing. Overall, I am disappointed with the quality of care and talent that I experienced here.
