Editorial Review for 1603 – by Chris Rish
Who Knew?
My old boss once told me that in his day, men with earrings were considered "light in the loafers." I hereby dare him to suggest said lightness to any of the fine individuals who patronize Monique's. You're liable to get yourself pierced, boss man.

Last night I went to Monique's, now known as "1603" and had a Prince Albert done by Julie. The experience was great. Julie is nice, knows what she's doing, and made me feel comfortable from beginning to end. The piercing itself went quick and smooth. This morning things look great and feel just fine. I highly recommend this shop and Julie herself, and will be going back to her in the future. Julie, if you read this, thanks very much. You were great!
Pros: Great staff, nice atmosphere, experience couldn't have been better.
Cons: None.

All the piercers (the only ones I've encountered) were always very fun, kept up a conversation, distracted you from the piercing... they're very good. They're also very professional and friendly, down to earth. They did everything their website said they would, gave advise, talked, anwsered all our questions, and were overall very, very good. I haven't gotten a piercing there yet, but my sister has twice. (Lip and then right brow.) They latter is healing perfectly, the former was more of her fault than the piercers. Clean.
