Kutter’s Edge

This is a really cool piercing establishment. The owner, Kathy, was very nice and knowledgable. I only needed holes expanded and new jewelry but she made sure I knew what all my options were and gave me a very reasonable quote for everything. I’ll most certainly come back here the next time I’m in this part of the country.

Kathy (the owner) at Kutter’s Edge has been the best each and every time I have been there. I first went to her when my first belly button piercing (from a different shop) was badly infected and off centered. She helped me get through the healing process and then repierced it. Her advice to just use soap and water, keeping it clean, and allowing your body to heal on its own has worked every time! Since my belly button repiercing at Kutter’s Edge I have had my nose pierced twice (removed first time for a year or so for job purposes), my tragus, rook, and cartilage pierced as well as having a Christina piercing done. I have many more piercings I would like to get done and I will only go to Kathy (I travel over 4 hours just to see her).
Also, I was in Brazil for three weeks on the Amazon and with the quality of the water had issues with my nose piercing. She not only answered my call immediately she helped me determine what to use with the few supplies I had on hand. She is amazing and always available to help with anything!

Please don’t ever go here. I got my tragus pierced here about 2 or so years ago and the piercing is still trying to heal itself.
When I got the piercing done everything was fine and all the employees were very nice. The «piercer» told me (after she had pierced my ear) to just let my soap and water run over the piercing. She did not give me any anti-​bacterial solutions or sea salt. It seemed kind of odd but she seemed like she knew what she was talking about so being the stupid girl I was back then listened to her (and not my gut) and just naturally cleaned the piercing. It was my first «piercing» so I wasn’t quite sure how to go about everything… so not cleaning it or questioning her was my fault.
I was so wrong not to question her. I went back a couple of months later with one of those huge bubbles above the piercing. The «piercer» said it was normal and told me she’d take out the jewelry, replace it, and clean it for me. Cool.
Couple months later and no change. The piercing had actually gotten worse. I then decided to go to a certified piercing shop in the South Side. The man there told me that she should have given me anti-​bacterial solution and sea salt. He then told me that the jewelry I had in my piercing looked way too big for my ear, thickness wise and length wise (it was a loop). He took out the jewelry and to his actual shock told me that the previous «piercer» had put in a gauge two sizes bigger (or smaller if you’re thinking technical gauge sizes) than what the normal piercing should be. He also showed me that the quality of the jewelry was horrid. The jewelry had turned into a dull metal instead of the shiny silver they use for piercings. He then managed to re-​pierce my tragus and put in jewelry that was the right gauge size and that would fit my ear.
What floored me was that the «piercer» at Kutters Edge didn’t even tell me let alone ask me if it was OK to put a bigger gauge in my ear! This made my piercing worse! And if she knew my piercing was still infected why would she put in horribly quality jewelry? So to this day I’m still trying to heal my tragus with the right solutions and sea salt.
Please avoid all this trouble if you ever get a piercing done and make sure the ‘piercer’ is certified and make sure you get all the proper solutions for good healing!!! And don’t go to a piercing shop that sells bad quality jewelry.
P. S. My friend went here as well (with me) and she’s also having problems with her piercings.

Kutters Edge was an amazing place. It was a very very clean establishment, and they were very sanitized with everything they did. They were straightforward about the procedure and explained how to care for it, as well as, giving a paper on how to take care of it. They like a return visit within two months just to see how things are going. Prices were also great. Kutters Edge was one of the best establishments I have ever been too!

What a great experience! I have been to other Piercing places, but Kutter’s Edge tops them all. Friendly, knowledgeable, the shop is clean and the prices are reasonable.
Thank you so much for my Labret. I LOVE it!!!
