Utility has hammered its competition once again, winning top spot for at least the third year running. Sasha Snow, assistant manager and piercing apprentice, figures it’s because of their company policies. Like the “no shit-talking policy” they have, which means no slagging of any kind—not from or about customers, and not from or about employees—and the golden oldie of leaving one’s ego at the door. Utility is best known for its custom work and Snow says the most popular requests these days are for Japanese-influenced designs: lots of koi fish and swirling waters. Students get a 10 percent discount—that’s 10 percent more fish. Utility Tattoo & Body Piercing Studio 5224 Blowers, 420-1348
