I was a phlebotomist for over 10 years, so I can confidently say I've pierced my fair share of people. The one thing I know is that everyone's body can heal differently, and people have different levels of pain thresholds. So whether you're getting your blood drawn or getting a new hole for something decorative, results will vary from person to person.

So when I saw the question pop up on the Facebook group WTF Yakima about the best place in town to get a body piercing, I was intrigued. Who does Yakima recommend?

Even some of the most recommended places had a couple of customers who had a bad experience. As I said above, everyone's body is different, and so many variables can come into play when pushing metal through flesh. As popular as body piercing is and as busy as these artists can be, I'm not surprised there would be an unsatisfied customer from time to time. So, as always, do your research and decide for yourself before creating another orifice!

The question that was asked by Kyleah Rose Tolle was a simple, although comical one.

"Cheap but good piercing spots in Yakima?"

With over 120 comments on the topic, a few shops shined brighter than others (for individuals, their tallies went towards their place of employment), but a common theme throughout the message thread was, if you're looking for cheap, you're going to get what you paid for. Buyer beware!
