I don't know where in Illinois you live so I can't tell you a place near you...for all I know, I can give you the name of a place 5 hours away.
All I can tell you is to avoid any piercing places in a mall. Make sure that it's a body arts place that only does tattoos and/or piercings!!! Those little stands at the mall are extremely unclean and you can get infected or get an incorrect piercing, especially if you're getting a nose piercing.
Go to yellowpages.com and type in "body art" "body piercing" "piercing" or something of those sort in to find a store near you.
Make sure the place is clean, make sure *THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!* that they are wearing gloves, open NEW packages of piercing material, and that they pierce you with a hollow/piercing needle and NOT a piercing gun!!! Piercing guns are meant for ears and to pierce a nose, it takes more strength because the nose is thicker and harder than your lobes. Piercing guns cannot be cleaned so there is more of a chance of infection as well. So remember, have them use a needle! (This applies for any piercings you may get in the future) ]
I don't live there. But I suggest asking your friends who have it done, where they got theirs done at. Make sure that the place is very clean and you have heard good things about them. When you go, and you don't see them opening up new stuff, LEAVE. They aren't clean. You want to see with your own eyes them opening everything. But I highly suggest asking anyone that has it done and what they thought of the place. Good luck! =D ]
