I've wanted to get another piercing for years and just decided to go for my septum on whim. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. This place was IMMACULATE! It smelled nice and everything was clean. The art was tasteful. They sterilized everything and showed us the chemical strip that showed that everything was sterilized. Nicholas was warm and kind and answered all my questions. I was shocked at how painless my septum piercing went; I wanted to add on a service but got scared. Now that I see how well this shop treats people, I'll definitely be back!! My wife went with me and wanted her own piercing after watching my experience! 10/10 would recommend

I have been looking for an artist to collaborate with for two years. This tattoo was incredibly…read morespecial to me, and although I only had a vague vision for what I wanted, I knew that I had to be able to trust someone. Rachel (@tattoosbyrachel on instagram) was so patient; kind; educational; & creative. She met me halfway with my budget, and was willing to be flexible when it came to drafting the design. I am so in love with my tattoo. She traced over my grandfather's handwriting (so don't worry- no cultural appropriation here!). There was only one other person get a tattoo during my appointment, and there was plenty of distancing. (They lock the door to prevent walk in appointments). I HIGHLY recommend this shop, and especially Rachel. Her style is amazing. Happy to support a local artist! I can't wait to come back in the future. :)

I do recommend going here for a piercing but I don't recommend doing any hoop until your piercing is healed because it can effect the tissue in your skin and you don't want to damage anything (just trying to help with an infection as well.). I do like how friendly Kevin was and I will be going back for more piercings!

Really. NO STARS should be given…read more Do not go here for nose piercing. The coo screw piercing is archaic. My nose swelled so much, the stud embedded into my nose. I called to see if he could change the piercing, he didn't return my call, I went to "Stay True Piercing" in Newington and they were astonished by what the piercer at Transcend did to me. Said the method as from 1992. I was in pain with the most uncomfortable piercing. transcend may be good for,tattoos, but go to a reputable piercer. do NOT go here.

I got a spine piece done by Joe here. First off, the salon is killer. Very clean and everyone is…read moresuper professional. Spine pieces are notorious for being a tender spot. I went in, had a consult with Joe, and put a deposit down. Immediately liked his attitude. He's very caring about what YOU want and making sure it's perfect for YOU. We went back and forth on font and designs and he was very receptive. Came in for my appointment, he was very polite and respectful. He is very light handed and super attentive to detail. This was a large piece down the entirety of my spine and he knew it was something very sentimental for me so he took his time and didn't rush. He went in with a fine needle and then went back in to pack in color to ensure it doesn't spread and fade poorly. I napped most of the session because he was very light handed Thank you Joe, and thank you Darkside for the great experience. Highly recommend!!

I got this tattoo two weeks ago and he only put the color at the surface of the skin. This is what it looks like two weeks later.
