Axl



Axl is the Owner/operator of Axl's Piercing Parlor, a body-piercing and tattoo shop in Lawndale, featured in Pierce Me.

Characterization and APpearance
Axl has a scruffy appearance, speaks with a lower class British cockney accent, and has a casual regard for hygiene and for the law. He has a good relation with Trent and Monique.

Trivia
His arguably funniest line of dialogue in that episode concerns the latter.

Axl [to Daria]: You're 18, right? I should have asked.

Daria: Does it matter?

Axl: I'm afraid it does. This is a fully licensed establishment, acting strictly in accordance with the letter of the law.

Trent: She is.

Axl: Right then.

"The Daria Database" shows us just how unhealthy and dangerous his shop is.

Fanfic Appearances
Axl rarely shows up in fanfiction, and rarely then in a good light. The low health standards of his shop cause Monique to get hepatitis C in "Smoking Mirror." He is a friendly ear and offers good advice to Jane in "Comforting a Confused Soul".
