It's a permanent thing on your body so I would pay more ensure that it's done correctly anyway! The service here was amazing and everyone is incredibly knowledgeable and excited to work with you! I made an appointment here to get my navel re-pierced and chose this place due to their high ratings and reviews on Google. I can say with confidence that the accolades are well deserved! I had the pleasure of working with George to do my piercing. Upon walking into my appointment I was greeted by another employee who checked my ID and walked me through the process while George was getting ready for me. He was so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and welcoming! He warned ahead of time that navel is an anatomy- based piercing so there's a chance I won't be able to get it done after my consultation, in addition to aftercare and resources so that I'm well-armed with everything I need to know to take care of my new piercing. In the last I've had my navel done unprofessionally, and then again professionally about a few years ago so I was hesitant about the scarring. George did my consult and assured me that it was safe for me to get it done again. He walked me through the process and talked through exactly what he was doing for prepping and piercing so I didn't get anxiety in anticipation. My navel looks beautiful and it's healing so nicely!! I felt safe, assured that I was getting it done so professionally, and I love how all the info is displayed on the website. All piercers have IGs if you have follow up questions and they respond so fast! Highly recommend!!

I got my forward helix and conch pierced with Nine Moons last month in October…read more I came in 15 minutes early and was greeted by Naomi. She really calmed my nerves and helped me pick out and style a few pieces and also picked similar options with different price ranges. I really enjoyed my experience with Naomi because was so welcoming, professional, and really took the time to go over options. After picking the jewelry, Starr was ready for me. The room is very clean and private- and the bed you lay down on is large and comfy :). She mapped out a few locations for the forward helix and conch based on the placement and anatomy and she took pictures on her phone since I had a hard time seeing it in the mirror. If Naomi didn't calm me down already, Starr is really the most gentle and friendly piercer I've met. Incredibly patient. And I would like to believe that her swift skills in piercing made the experience pain-free. I also did my downsizing with Starr and it was a breeze. All in all, I wish I got all my piercings done at Nine Moon- this place is a gem. Their collection is exquisite and if I plan on getting more piercings, I will revisit this studio and recommend it to others. Thank you Starr and Naomi.

Super, super, super amicable, warm, and approachable staff that know what they're talking about and…read moreput their hands to where their mouths are. I came here for some help on an irritated piercing and was pretty nervous about not being able to do much about it after looking through the price ranges very briefly. You make a reservation and if you're tardy by some time they charge you their deposit fee $40+ dollars. Luckily, we came in early and were greeted very warmly by the staff here and after explaining the situation, were asked to wait. I loved the atmosphere of the shop: spotless, classy, sophisticated, and with a large selection of high-end jewelry for you to ooh, ahh, and oggle as you please. Shortly after, I then picked out some jewelry, and then was promptly taken to the back by a staff member. They tried finagling the hole for some time to save my 8 year old piercing, all while trying to ease my anxiety and talk me through the pain of the irritated piercing. After no avail, we decided to give up and let the piercing retire so the spot can heal again. With all that said and done, I was not charged because they understood the trauma of retiring and letting go of an irritated piercing. I was recommended to return 2 months after if I wanted to get it redone again. If I do decide to reinvigorate the spot I'll definitely be back. They are so bubbly and relatable here that I know I'll be well taken care of. Amazing place for new holes if you have a pretty penny and a hankering for change in your near future.

In other words, everything you'd want a quality tattoo shop to be. As has been mentioned by many before, Chris is a great dude. Spent about four hours getting a shoulder tattoo done by him, and the entire time was spent with very relaxing casual conversation, joking around, and some pretty awesome stories. I got an estimated quote for the tattoo cost from him before the appointment (like a min-max of the expected cost), and even though it's pay-by-the-hour, AND we went over the expected time by like another hour and a half, he still charged me the minimum for the quote. Needless to say, when the time comes for the next tat, I'm going to see Chris without question. You should too.

Unfortunately, we got there near closing time and couldn't get the tattoo done as someone was already on the table getting worked on. He explained how he was the only one tattooing at the moment and could not start another piece this evening but was more than happy to help us when we return. We asked if a piercing was something he can do at the moment and without hesitation he took us right in. He pierced the upper ear and did a great job. Overall, this place was very clean, friendly and professional.

Can't say enough excellent things about this place! Owner,…read moreDom, and tat artist, Rebecca, vibed with me immediately. Destiny shall I say? Felt like I knew them forever. Dom is incredible. He's so passionate about what he does and IMO an expert with piercings and what he chooses for the best of all when it comes to quality and beauty. Uses 14k gold to titanium. Diamonds and natural gems offered as well! Not surgical SS which contains nickel. (Most hospitals use titanium to fuse bones or secure replacements in our bodies.) Incredibly knowledgeable and tells you everything from start to finish. I was hesitant because of my own memories of piercing gun I was used to 20yrs ago versus needles, but I swear he is so exceptional that I will never go to another. He explains everything, super knowledgeable, can answer every question you have and uses the best materials. He is super passionate and is simply himself. Place is beyond sterile and not one piercing I chose has hurt for days like your typical piercing gun at "Claire's". It's reverse piercing where flat bottomed backing doesn't poke your skin as you sleep or hand hold your phone. You basically buy the tops to replace once inserted as opposed to traditional you remove backing and change your earring with this long post stabbing you in your head. He will even offer to change tops for you! Exceptional taste in beauty trends and will order whatever you might want from his suppliers that he may not have on hand at the moment. Follow them on IG! I'll be here forever if I really lay into this awesome review! I've already been here two consecutive days as of writing and brought my hubby for 2nd trip to have his ear redone from prior. I requested third appt and am excited to see new products he has coming next week before I decide on fourth. Now working with Rebecca for my additional tats! My review will not do them Justice, just come here and see for yourself! 10 stars if it were possible!

I initially had high hopes for my experience because I got along well with the artist and felt…read morecomfortable going into the appointment. Unfortunately, the outcome of my final tattoo was extremely disappointing. During the session, my skin was overworked significantly, which resulted in multiple scars. I have never gotten scars from any other tattoo. During the healing process I had an open wound in the center from my skin being dug into. There are also major inconsistencies in the black ink saturation throughout the piece, so much so that parts are fading out. The tattoo itself ending up not following the reference, as a lot of the lines are shaky, the center of the flower lacks definition, and the petals are not cohesive. I understand that tattoo artists can become exhausted, especially during long sessions, which is why I wish I was firmly told to come back another day. If an artist is too tired to give a piece their full attention and care, it would be far better to firmly reschedule for another day rather than continue working while fatigued. This experience genuinely impacted my confidence and how I feel about my body, which is really upsetting because my goal with tattoos is to feel more in tune with myself and style. Unfortunately, the outcome has led me to begin the tattoo removal process, which is both emotionally and financially stressful for me and is about to cost me a lot more than this tattoo.

This place had a promotion over Friday the 13th weekend for both tattoos and piercings. I went in…read morefor a piercing and a friend for a tattoo and per their instagram post, the piercings were $25. They had a maximum of 4 piercings but no minimums. When I asked for the total they wanted to charge $50 total for one (not including their mandatory tip) and then when confronted about their instagram post and their rules - they said that's how they've been operating this weekend. Misleading and upsetting. Besides placing a "mandatory" tip, this leaves a bad taste in your mouth and makes you not want to come back ever again. If it's mandatory... it's not a tip. The whole concept of a tip is based off of the piercer's performance. I ended up getting another to meet the "minimum" to attain the piercing at the advertised price ($25) but the piercer, Hosco, was already acting differently (negatively) once called out with his boss regarding the pricing and their post. (Attaching said post, which is now deleted, here.) Something that was supposed to be fun turned into feeling like you got scammed. $25 for both, $50. Then the "mandatory" tip of $7 for both, $14. Total of $64. Oh and if you don't leave a tip in addition the mandatory tip, you get stink eye. Don't even get me started on the up charge on tattoos and ink versus colored ink. This place is dishonest, the management is not well versed in English (not a problem, but he forgets that other people can understand Spanish and his conversations about upcharging customers are understood by Spanish speakers). The piercer, Hosco Mod (@hoscotattoo), helps conflate review ratings by leaving a 5 star rating for his own services...very shady business practices! _______________________________________ Este lugar tuvo una promoción durante el fin de semana del viernes 13 tanto para tatuajes y perforaciones. Fui para hacerme una perforación y un amigo para un tatuaje, y según su publicación en Instagram, las perforaciones costaban $25. Tenían un máximo de 4 perforaciones, pero no un mínimo. Cuando pregunté por el total, querían cobrar $50 por una sola (sin incluir su propina obligatoria) y, al confrontarlos sobre su publicación en Instagram y sus reglas, dijeron que así habían estado operando ese fin de semana. Engañoso y frustrante. Además de imponer una propina "obligatoria", esto deja un mal sabor de boca y hace que no quieras volver jamás. Si es obligatorio... no es una propina. Todo el concepto de propina se basa en el desempeño del perforador. Terminé haciéndome otra perforación para cumplir con el "mínimo" y así obtener el precio anunciado ($25), pero el perforador, Hosco, ya estaba actuando de manera diferente (negativa) después de que lo confrontaran con su jefe respecto al precio y la publicación. (Adjunto aquí dicha publicación, que ahora está eliminada). Algo que se suponía que iba a ser divertido terminó sintiéndose como una estafa. $25 por ambos, $50. Luego la propina "obligatoria" de $7 por ambos, $14. Total: $64. Ah, y si no dejas una propina adicional aparte de la obligatoria, te miran mal. Ni hablar del recargo en los tatuajes y la tinta negra versus la tinta de color. Este lugar es deshonesto. La gerencia no domina bien el inglés (lo cual no es un problema, pero olvidan que otras personas entienden español y que sus conversaciones sobre cobrar de más a los clientes son entendidas por quienes hablan español). El perforador, Hosco Mod (@hoscotattoo), ayuda a inflar las calificaciones dejando una reseña de 5 estrellas para sus propios servicios... ¡prácticas comerciales muy sospechosas!
