My fiance and I went in for back to back appointments today. My fiance was getting his first…read morepiercing -- a septum piercing, and I was going in initially to get my tragus done. Dan was incredible through and through. He explained everything very thoroughly to my partner and what to expect with healing. He even explained what the best type of jewelry was to start with given my fiancé's line of work in having to keep piercings hidden. For me, Dan took into consideration my profession and how a tragus may not be the best choice given that I have a stethoscope in my ears a lot. He suggested a conch piercing instead and I went with it. It was SO quick and effortless. Dan was incredible and I will be booking all my future appointments with him. He was so kind and it shows that he's really invested in this line of work and very passionate about his craft.

UPDATE: I've been coming to Enigma for years, and Evan is an excellent piercer. My review came from…read moregenuine disappointment at how much the overall experience has changed. That's why I genuinely taken aback by the length and tone of their response below. I'm not quite sure what they intended it to prove My review doesn't claim that they never replied. It explicitly says that I eventually received a response over a week later. I emailed them a few times during that time. By my third message, I'd explained the piercing was red, bleeding and producing green discharge, and that I was considering urgent care but understood it was better to consult the piercer first. I asked what I should do. I could have just come into the shop, but wanted to be respectful and ask first. A reply ten days after my first email isn't useful aftercare. In their public response below, Enigma claims that they first replied on May 26. After posting that response, they emailed me privately. They didn't repeat the May 26 claim in their email but did attach screenshots of their previous replies. Both screenshots are dated June 5, so 10 days after my original email. May 26 is the date I emailed them, not a reply from them. I've checked my inbox to make sure and there is no response from Enigma on May 26. They also admit that another more recent email "slipped through the cracks." When they finally replied on June 5, one email gave me Evan's working days and the other advised coming in to change the ring to a straight post. But by then, the problem had already healed up, so the advice was no longer useful. My complaint isn't about what they eventually said, it's that it took ten days and repeated messages to receive any help. Honestly, if the intention was to show that my review was unfair, sending me evidence of the very thing I complained about is an odd way to go about it. I stand by every word.

People would come in and everyone in the shop knew who they were and they were making plans for a community block party for the 4th.

When I started looking for somewhere to get my ears pierced, I specifically wanted a piercing…read morestudio rather than a tattoo shop. Rose Body Piercing was exactly what I was looking for. It's a nice space that focuses on piercing, and I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. I called about two weeks ahead to schedule and was sent a link to book online. I was able to get the exact date and time I wanted and received both email and text confirmations/reminders before my appointment. I booked with Brielle! I went on a Saturday morning and there was plenty of metered street parking available. The building is gated, but they send you instructions ahead of time explaining how to get in, so it was easy to find my way. The studio itself is small but really cute, and both the studio and piercing room felt very clean. I came in to get a third piercing on both of my earlobes. Brielle showed me the jewelry options first, and there was a nice selection at different price points. After filling out a form, we went into the piercing room. She cleaned my ears, wore gloves, and I felt completely comfortable with the hygiene process. She took her time marking the placement of both piercings and let me look in the mirror and approve everything before she started. She also talked me through what she was doing before and during the piercing, which helped me feel relaxed. I wouldn't say it was painless , but it was very quick and simple! Afterward, she explained how to care for the piercings and gave me saline solution to take home, which also has the aftercare directions on the bottle. I'll need to come back in about 4-6 weeks to have the backs downsized. Brielle was friendly, professional and made the whole experience really easy. Most importantly, I was very happy with the placement and how my earrings looked when I left. I would definitely recommend Rose Body Piercing and would come back here for any future piercings!

I had tried and tried to take it off but it wouldn't, so I thought "it's time for the professionals" LOL anyway i walked in and was immediately greeted nicely as they were finishing up with another client. Ruth was the piercer I saw, and was laying down on the table with my head turned to the side. i was prepared for the experience to be difficult and unpleasant since it was so stuck. I kid you not, I didn't feel anything ?? genuinely, ruth took out the stuck jewelry then put in two hoops (2 helix piercings but one stuck) and all i felt was her gloves brushing against me, as it normally would. By the time she told me was done I thought oh maybe she forgot the second piercing but sure enough she had taken the stuck stud and put in 2 hoops. TL;DR All I know is Ruth is incredibly gentle and fast ! Definitely coming back!

Needless to say, I was extremely pleased with Dom and his team to schedule me in and give me a personal and unique experience. It's hard to say but the service at the shop has improved.
