    ok so it's not written in stone but all you gotta do is look through ANY website on piercers in Ireland and the cons waaaay outweigh the pros to it, not to mention actually seeing the dodge ass work that comes out of it, everyone i've ever known to get pierced there has had problems with it...

    Whats MRSA got to do with it Davey?

    Also: I know of people that got pierced there badly, hence I wouldnt go there or recommend it.

    Highest infection rate in Ireland is going too far though Rach, its a ridiculous claim that you have no way of backing up.

    he mistyped rash, he was talking about the rash you get around hte piercing when it gets badly infected because of metalmorphosis.

    yeah i just think it's a lot of people who know of one or two people that can't look after a piercing when they get it done and ultimately the piercer gets blamed. there's no way to prove any argument for or against. I've had 8 piercings done in there and not a bother with any of them. That's my input so when this argument crops up you can now say, well one lad has had 0% failure rate in there.

    Had my first piercing (nape) botched in Metalmorphosis by Elaine and there's not a hope I'd go back. Bad first impressions don't inspire confidence whether it's a one off or not. That said, I did get a full refund after some badgering emails (including pictures) to their head office.

    yeah i think it depends on the person getting pierced and how well they look after it.
    i've had the majority of mine done there and i've not had any trouble with them!
    i'm sure everywhere has a name for botch jobs within a group of certain people y'know?

    I'd have to agree with that! Most of the opinions put forward are probably second hand anyway, like someones friend got something done and it got infected etc. There's just no way of telling to be honest. A piercing will go one of two ways, kept clean and well, it will heal, not kept clean and well, it won't. Simple as.

    maybe but that isn't always the case aswel, a girl in there completely feiced up my mates tragus, the acutal piercing, was nothing to do with the aftercare, she pierced her tragus wrong, Aid was in bit crying with pain, then she tried to charge her double cuz she had to open up an new needle cuz the one she was using came apart, the tube-y bit came from the needle-y bit, while she was piercing she gave the choice of leaving it, half pierced, opening a new needle and charging double or not opening a new needle and just trying to shove the jewelry through. not cool.

    No, it's people that can and do look after their piercings, but the piercer does a shoddy job on it. I'm not saying that every piercing they do is bad, or anywhere near it, but that they seem to have more botched piercings than any of the other places I know of.*

    Yours was one of the first cases I knew of that put me off ever going in there. Also, good to see you're still around!

    Everyone has their own place that their comfy with. Personally speaking, I'll never set foot in Metal Morphosis again as I was made feel so uncomfortable in there when I was getting pierced, or other times when I went to ask for advice/jewellery. Anyway, its all been said before on here, either ye like it or ye don't!

    One piercer not wearing gloves does not mean a country-wide problem. I've had 30+ piercings and I've yet to encounter a piercer that didn't wear gloves.
