“After years of having stretched ears and purchasing most of my plugs from body art forms or body mod organics and sites such as those, I had always wondered the integrity of the stone or quality of what I purchased. A few people in Pittsburgh told me hey have you ever checked out Mateo’s work? One of these people being Nick SanGregory the owner of Six16. I quickly looked up Mateo’s Instagram and was blown away by his craftsmanship. I was a little scared of pricing at first because I was used to $50 tops for a set of plugs. I found a pair of discounted Brazilian Agate teardrops in my size on his site. I snatched them up immediately and they became my most complimented and favorite pair I’ve ever owned. I have since put in two other custom orders with Mateo. He’s a one man business but he took time to send me different materials he was biding on in auction and went above and beyond to try and find the perfect material for me. I have tried to tell anyone and everyone with stretched ears to check out his work. If you are on the fence from ordering something pull the trigger and treat yourself. It is more than worth it.”
