    rook piercing done by Cheech
    Sarah L.

    Go check out Cheech for piercings! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HANDS DOWN!!! I was concern that it was going to hurt after my horrible experience at a different parlor but he was gentle and quick when I got my rook pierced! He talked me through the process and before I knew it, he was finished!! If anyone wants to get anything pierced, this is the man to go to!!!!!

    Custom flash I got from Shino

    Love this place! My artist Shino is super accommodating and makes the process a breeze. I also got my nostril piercing by Hi-b, super nice and chill dude.

    Ear and tragus

    I just got my ears pierced. I think it's called a Tragus and it was not painful at all for me. I was nervous because of the cartilage being thick but Cheech is my piercing guy moving forward. He was professional he was clean. He was caring and he was honest about the pain levels and the needle that he used. I just enjoyed his company in the vibe of the tattoo parlor.. I'm definitely going back for my second one. My best friend got four piercings and I got one.

    If you're thinking about getting your ears pierced, this place is the way to go! I got a conch piercing and it was just a pinch. I'll be definitely back for more piercings!

    2 Tattoos Same Day
    Ron J.

    I love my experience here. Highbie is an amazing tattoo artist, very friendly, and gentle when tattooing. I thought the bicep tattoo was going to hurt a lot more, but it felt like a breeze. Both pieces were done the same day (Mar 16, 2021). I will be a returning client for sure. Shop is very clean and follows Covid safety precautions.

I wanted a tiger paired with specific florals (forget-me-nots, honeysuckle, and narcissus paperwhites) all kept above the elbow. Angie brought my vision to life more beautifully than I could have imagined. The process at Baron Art was seamless. After submitting a consultation form, I heard back within 1-2 days and coordinated everything with Cat (Angie's assistant) via email. Cat was wonderful, detailed, and quick to reply. On the day of my appointment, I received digital aftercare instructions after I checked in. Before starting, Angie was incredibly patient. She adjusted the tiger's scale on her iPad to match my arm and printed several stencils to ensure the size and placement was just right. She then freehanded the florals, precisely incorporating the negative space I requested to keep the design from feeling too heavy. Angie is incredibly talented and has a light touch. Even the pain in the inner bicep area was manageable. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the 4 hour session, and the result was perfect. This piece means so much to me and is very close to my heart, as it's a memorial for my mom who passed away recently. The forget-me-nots were her favorite flowers, and the narcissus paperwhites and honeysuckle are our birth flowers. The tiger was the first stuffed animal that my parents bought for me when we first immigrated to the US. It was my "guardian" throughout my childhood. Angie, thank you very much for your kindness and for creating such a meaningful, beautiful piece. This was the first of two sessions, and I already love it so much--I can't wait to see how it turns out! Some notes: - Snacks: I brought along Gatorade and was sipping on it before and during my session. I ate some candy and had a protein bar during the breaks too. It helped so much to keep my blood sugar up. - Vibe: So relaxing! The studio was spacious, and they were playing a throwback playlist from like the 2010s lol. I was vibing out and didn't even use the earbuds I brought! Everyone was so friendly too! Throughout the session, I noticed a couple artists stopped by to admire Angie's work as she was doing the tiger :) - Parking: parking in this location wasn't actually too bad. There's a structure about a 5 min walk away from the studio down the street. Just turn right into the little street where the Arrow Lodge Brewing is at. Go in a little bit, and it's on the left hand side. If you reach S Santa Fe Ave, you've gone too far!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

She was back and forth, but now at 7.5, she decided she was READY. She almost convinced my husband to do it at the mall, but I'm glad they didn't.

Went though jewelry, explained all of that. I didn't get the name of the person who did the piercing, but he was amazing. He described everything to her, had her do deep breathing. It was done quick while also taking his time with everything. She felt secure and brave, I'm just so happy with her experience! I will definitely be going back after looking at some tattoo work as well, it all looked great.
