    So Fred, Greg, Charlie, LOL he wasn't exactly clear to what his name was, took care of me and my…read morefriend. From the beginning he was just quick with cracking jokes and I must say it has been the best piercing experience I have ever had. My friend was a bit nervous getting her daith pierced and his whole sarcastic, joking attitude made us feel very comfortable around him. I got my double helix pierced and he was quick, knowledgable and very thorough explaining the jewelry and different piercing methods used. He also answered all our questions. As for my friend, he kept picking on her and the whole situation had us laughing with tears in our eyes. If you want a boring, sit down, no fun piercing session, then don't come here. If you're looking for an enjoyable experience, great prices and clean setup, then come on in! He was wonderful and I only plan on coming here for my piercings. Ps: Don't be thrown off by his nonchalant attitude when he first greets you. He's really great! You get all the stars Charlie Brown!

    i'm honestly very disappointed writing this review because i have gotten multiple piercings from…read morethis shop before & had absolutely no issues. i always had a great experience with the women who pierced me previously. they were patient, kind, professional, & took their time to make sure everything was placed correctly. because of those experiences, i felt comfortable coming back to have my septum redone. unfortunately, this experience was completely different. when i arrived, i was pierced by an older man who immediately came across as condescending & sarcastic. i initially brushed it off because i noticed the signs in the shop indicating that this was part of the shop's "vibe," so i decided not to take it personally. once we got into the piercing room, he immediately numbed my septum without asking me first. i found this strange considering i had previously had my septum pierced there & was never offered numbing cream, but i brushed it off & continued with the appointment. there were also hygiene concerns throughout the process. he sanitized his hands, put his gloves on, & then proceeded to touch other things around the room with the same gloves on before continuing with my piercing. while the hygiene issues were not even my biggest concern compared to what happened with the actual piercing, i still found this extremely concerning, especially when performing a procedure that involves breaking the skin. the actual piercing process felt extremely rushed. he did not take the time to properly look inside my nose or carefully assess the placement before piercing me. he simply placed the clamps to my septum & put the needle through. immediately, i felt a level of pain that i had never experienced with my previous septum piercing. i assumed maybe it was because of scar tissue from having it pierced before, so i tried not to think too much of it. then he handed me the mirror, & i immediately knew something was wrong. my septum was visibly & extremely misplaced. it was pierced way too far back, & every time i spoke, the ring would flip upward into my nose. it looked completely out of place. i decided to give it about a week & see if things improved, but instead, the pain continued to get worse. eating became uncomfortable. talking hurt because my septum ring continued flipping upward every time i opened my mouth. i also began sneezing much more frequently, & almost every time i sneezed, the piercing would start bleeding. this was nothing like my previous experience with getting my septum pierced, & at that point i knew something was seriously wrong. i went to a different professional piercer today to have it checked out. before i could even fully explain what had happened, she immediately noticed my septum flipping upward when i spoke. after examining it, she told me that the piercing had gone through my cartilage & that the placement was severely incorrect. she explained that it was very clear the piercer had not taken the time to properly look inside my nose or position the clamps correctly before piercing me. she told me she had never seen a septum piercing placed like this & that, in her professional opinion, the situation was the result of serious negligence. thankfully, she was able to remove the piercing for me, & i am finally no longer experiencing the constant pain i had been dealing with. i also felt that the piercer's behavior throughout the appointment was concerning. he seemed very off to me, to the point where i genuinely questioned whether he was completely sober or otherwise in the appropriate condition to be performing a piercing. obviously, i cannot say for certain what was going on, but his demeanor & behavior made me uncomfortable. i am not someone who likes leaving rude or negative reviews. in fact, i have had multiple positive experiences at this shop in the past, which is what makes this so disappointing. i genuinely liked the work i had received here before & felt comfortable coming back because of those experiences. but when you are piercing someone's face, proper placement, technique, hygiene, attention to detail, & professionalism are not things that can be rushed or overlooked. i looked forward to getting my septum redone, & instead i spent the following week in pain & ultimately had to have the piercing removed because it was done incorrectly. i am leaving this review because i genuinely believe bad work needs to be called out when it involves something as serious as piercing someone's body, especially their face. no one deserves to leave an appointment excited about a piercing they have been looking forward to, only to spend the next week in pain & find out from another professional that it was improperly done. i sincerely hope management takes this experience seriously & looks into what happened so that another customer does not have to go through the same experience.

    This review is solely about my experience with the woman on staff who is the piercer. I came in to…read moreget a piercing removed. I had called earlier and spoke with a very nice gentleman who told me they would do it, but a fee is charged, as is usual. He didn't know the price off the top of his head, so I figured I'd come in and see what it was. The shop had no prices posted for piercing removal (although I could see listed prices for other piercings). The piercer came out and told me it would cost $25, which is absolutely ridiculous. A high end shop in New York would charge $10-15. When I told her this, her immediate response was that I was paying for her labor. I tried to reason with her on her math for this -- assuming this took 10 min tops -- did she think her labor was worth a rate of $150/hr? She shut down on that and of course, immediately went to the excuse of the owner sets the price, she doesn't get to control this, blah blah blah. It was blatantly obvious to me that she was arbitrarily setting a price to pocket for herself, so I tried to reason with her. Her responses ranged from: "just to go New York then" to "I don't need you to complain to me about the prices" to a lovely "don't be a bitch, have some respect" as I was walking out. She needs to get a grip and an understanding of some basic customer service. Don't let yourself get ripped off here. Also - the jewelry on display all looked to be that of the cheapest quality so I would advise against getting a piercing here either unless you're willing to risk irritation and infection.

    I went because I had to have my nose ring out for an MRI scan 3 hours prior. All I wanted was for…read morethem to put it back in as I was having trouble doing so myself. I've had this piercing for 5 years and have changed it a few times with no issues (from other locations). I have NO idea wtf this woman did, but she used a long thing that looked like a needle in it before chasing it with the ring and its over 24 hours later and my nose is still swollen and sore. There was 0 reason for that. I have never had a nose ring reinserted like that. Honestly wish I read the reviews first. There are so many discussing how horrible the piercer is and someone else apparently had a similar problem with jewelry reinsertion.
