I would NOT order from them again!

While they have AWESOME designs, their customer service and overall organization SUCKS. I placed an order a week before Christmas. I knew that my order would not arrive on time for Christmas, and I was alright with that. However, upon placing the order, I did not receive an order confirmation (or a shipping confirmation a couple days later), and after about a week of nothing, I began trying to contact their customer service. I first tried to contact them through the contact form on their website (MULTIPLE times!), and when I didn't get an answer, I tried emailing them directly, but received NO RESPONSE at all for any of the times I tried! At this point, it had been 2 weeks without any order or shipping confirmation. I wasn't sure if they robbed me or if their website was out of business or what!

It was a weekend that I decided to call, but they did not accept calls on the weekends, so I had to wait until Monday. That Monday (Week 3), before I had a chance to call them, I received my package with the 3 sweatshirts I ordered.

The sweater quality isn't all that (they're light), and I thought about sending them back because by this time, I ordered from another sweatshirt company that I KNEW I would get my items from. But I thought against it in fear that they would never refund me and continue to be unresponsive.

I would have been okay with the wait if I had gotten some type of communication from them, but since I didn't, I really thought I would have to submit a case with my credit card! DBH caused me a huge, unnecessary scare! I don't know if their cool designs are worth the risk, but that's up to you! Their clothing is quite expensive for their poor customer service and overall crappy business performance!

After a horrible experience with piercing jewelry I purchased from BodyCandy.com, I decided to try Body Art Forms. I read good things about them from various reviews. I have to say that there's absolutely nothing to complain about. I purchased a titanium tongue barbell and 2 labrets. I've had the tongue ring in since August, and I have no complaints! It's kind of relieving after a bad shopping experience with another piercing jewelry company, that Body Art Forms actually tells you everything! If you're apprehensive about these unreliable companies such as BodyCandy or Painful Pleasures, go to Body Art Forms. What's great about them is that their descriptions tell you exactly what you're getting. If you opt for cheaper jewelry, they'll tell you that the color will fade, but they seem to stand by their products 100% and I have yet to experience anything to tell me otherwise.

I've ordered plenty of stuff from them in the past, but all of them were cartilage piercings (which I have yet to see any issues with tbh). I never suspected BodyCandy to be selling cheap stuff until now.

I ordered a tongue barbell about a year ago from them, and just put it in the other day (Tuesday). Within a day, the green color wore off in my mouth, revealing silver. Within 3 days, the silver wore off too revealing black metal underneath. First of all, they said this piece of jewelry was titanium. Secondly, now I'm freaking out because my tongue's a little sore and who knows what the hell kind of metal was just in my mouth (I legit just switched the piercing out 5 minutes ago). I will attach a picture. Additionally, I ordered captive bead rings for my cartilage piercing that were *supposed* to be titanium as well, and woke up one morning to an aching helix plagued with paint chips and pus. If this company cared about it's customers even a little, they would not do this.

THE VERDICT: While their service is great and shipping is fast, etc., BodyCandy lies to its customers and does NOT sell the quality of jewelry they claim to. This crap is most likely Titanium-plated (if even), which peels off after a while revealing cheap base metal. If you can find a more reliable place to buy piercing jewelry, DO IT because BodyCandy is not worth the scare, the money, or the possible infection from base metal alloy being in your mouth, your ears, your belly button, your nose, etc.

EDIT: I've heard a LOT of good things about Body Art Forms as an alternative, and have just purchased new jewelry from them. I will be adding more to this once I determine if its good!

Edit #2: So, I've had the tongue ring I purchased from Body Art Forms in for a couple months now, and I have nothing to complain about. It's a little hard to twist the ball in once you have it through your tongue, but I think that's just due to the size I chose. If you're scared and unsure about these unreliable companies such as BodyCandy or Painful Pleasures, go to Body Art Forms. What's great about them is that their descriptions tell you exactly what you're getting. If you opt for cheaper jewelry, they'll tell you that the color will fade, but they seem to stand by their products 100% and I have yet to experience anything to tell me otherwise.
