I called to speak to them about my piercing and asked if I could stop in to meet with their…read morepiercer, Melissa. They asked what time I wanted to stop by and said they'd see me then. Melissa took me back to her piercing station, took her time to listen to what I wanted to do, (increase the gauge of my nostril piercing), and my concerns. She took the time to speak to me about my options and her recommendations. She then went ahead and took the time to stretch my piercing and place a new ring in there. It was totally painless, I didn't even get any tears. She even recommended a website for me to order the next larger size to bring in with me in three weeks so she can move me up to that size next. I am just blown away by her professionalism and care. If you were thinking of getting pierced, I have no qualms recommending her.

The best piercer in Northern VA. Super clean, very knowledgeable, and extremely detail-oriented…read more Piercings are something you live with for life, so you really have to love them. Lora is truly the best -- highly recommend. I used to have very low piercings and they looked terrible. I tried getting stacked piercings at Rowan, but the nurse (piercer) didn't really know what they were doing. My ears were poked multiple times, nothing was lined up, and it just looked off. Even though I paid a lot, I ended up taking them out. Then I went to Lora -- she immediately understood what I wanted, walked me through everything, and gave thoughtful recommendations. The result looks SO much better. I honestly wish I had found her earlier. Do not go to places that use piercing guns or devices -- they don't follow your markings properly. Go to Lora.

My best friend and I went in for matching tattoos. They had a serious personal meaning and we…read morewanted to get it exactly right. The staff was really friendly and helpful. No one judged any ideas we had and they made sure to remind us that we should not take this decision lightly. If we didn't feel absolutely happy with the sketches he would keep drawing them for us to see and we could always leave no harm done. I appreciated that they weren't pushy about how we should do it or just to decide something. The artist spent a good half hour revising the sketch with us. In the end we found the perfect artwork adjusted slightly for each of our taste and ended the day with our matching reminders. Highly recommend this place for artist who care about you and share their knowledge and experience regarding the design you want.
