Absolutely blown away by how incredible this place is all around. I was honestly a little bit skeptical about going to a place in the mall at first, but based on the reviews I had seen, I thought it was worth a shot to go by and check out.
Could not have been more pleasantly surprised. This place is so incredibly clean, well managed, and the staff is all friendly and helpful. Everything happens in a timely manner - they take their time in whatever they are doing whether it's piercings or tattoos however, if they are not in the middle of doing something, they are getting ready for something else. There was no one standing around just hanging out on their cell phones or just talking to each other and ignoring customers like you see pretty much anywhere these days. Everyone was doing something at all times. And! Everyone was pleasant- no one had a mood or seemed to be having a bad day- everyone respected each other and all the customers no matter how the looked or acted. It was so refreshing!!
I initially talked to the guy at the front about what I wanted to do, and before he just went ahead and booked me for that he had some recommendations he wanted me to hear out. Those recommendations actually changed my mind for the better and he consulted with one of me piercing specialist to confer and I ended up taking that route instead.
I was taken back and taken care of by Cassie - she's absolutely incredible, very knowledgeable and such a pro! She put me at such ease and walked me through what her plan was and it was fantastic. She even noticed that I wasn't in love with one of the earrings that we put in and asked if I wanted it changed and initially I said don't bother, but she could tell that I would most likely be happier with something else, and pushed for me to speak up and she changed out the stud at the top and the second one she put on was perfect. I am glad that she's advocating for me as I'm not the best at advocating for myself. I never want to inconvenience anyone so a lot of times I will say yes just to not bother anyone, so I'm very happy she pushed to figure out what I actually wanted.
Since one of my piercings was irritated - she entered in 2 silicon discs to help push down the small bump I had created by picking at it and then double pierced my ears below. She said I should see very noticeable results in the next 4-6 weeks for the bump to slim down and to come back and check with her then to decide next steps. She even went as far as to let me know which days she worked at this location and gave me her business card and said that I could follow up with her on Instagram if I had any questions in the meantime.
Absolutely hands-down could not recommend a better place. So if anyone is on the fence about where to go get piercings, highly highly recommend going here!! I would recommend tattoos too from what I saw - everyone's was very neat and people who left after getting them seemed very happy.
Lastly, the pricing was extremely reasonable, and the wait time was close to none. I was able to be seen immediately as walk-in. Which to be honest, I was a little shocked by because everyone seemed pretty busy and there were other people coming in for appointments most of which I think were tattoos but one girl behind me was definitely in for a piercing. It was incredible to be seen and taken care of so quickly without an appointment. I don't ever plan on going anywhere else in Tampa so long as I have the opportunity to come here. Thank you to everyone here who made this experience so flawless and amazing! See you in a few weeks for follow up. read more
