Editorial reviews from the web (2)

"Everything a rock star needs" appears at this "cultural cornerstone" in Lakeview, "a must-stop" for "punk, Goth, rockabilly and industrial" styles in "edgy clothes", "hard-to-find body jewelry", T-shirts, leather jackets and Doc Martens; while some find the staffers "too cool for school", others say they're "friendly, knowledgeable" and "helpful" in "choosing a new piercing."

Shop a huge selection of gothic, biker and punk clothing and accessories at this alternative emporium.

The merchandise selection is awesome, I especially love the shoes and dresses they have on hand. I've also bought a lot of piercing jewelry from here. All of the employees are wicked …

I don't understand the negative reviews. Granted I was here a lot more when I was younger (although I was way too broke to really buy much), I don't think I've ever had a negative experience, even after my obnoxious weird infatuation with this place waned a little. My last time in was to buy a few gag-y gifts for …

If you get piercings, the place it great! Extremely clean and informative. I will definitely return. As for customer service, if you think you will be approached you won't be. There won't be any excitement as you walk trough their doors. For some that is a turn off but why do we need people kissing our asses

I don't get it, is this supposed to be like Ed Debevics ? Everyone I've encountered here was rude as fuck !! Even when I went out of my way to be nice towards them !! I love their inventory but their prices are too high and their employees are too rude. Dare I say it, hot topic definitely has nicer/more helpful employees. …
