She pierced my nose and it was extremely well done with all the hygiene protocols etc. She also communicated with me afterwards regarding healing and she is clearly very experienced and well-trained in piercing issues. I almost went to a cheap place at the beach and I am so glad I waited for this appointment. You will be in great hands with her. Also, as a mom, if my kid wanted a piercing, including ears, this is absolutely where I would go.

I tend to be more shy and modest so before I even said anything he could tell I wasn't comfortable taking my shirt off in front of the other people getting tattooed and took me to a more private room. He was so kind and professional. He got the tattoo absolutely perfect not only to what I wanted but he was so specific and precise with his placement he literally did it perfectly. Very impressed and can't recommend enough!

They also require you to sign a consent letter. Your encounter would be in a private room. One to one. It's really a nice setup. Nice comfortable chair. Reminds me of the dentist chair. Katie knew what I wanted and she made things pleasant. We had a good conversation. Next thing I knew she was finished. My appointment time was for one hour. It took less time for that because of what I wanted. They give you aftercare instructions. Which is also explained to you. This was my first tattoo with colored ink. So I had several questions which she responded to very well. I would highly recommend her. Also there is alot of parking available. Just be sure to let them ring you in. They share the space with the lower level. Which is a different business. The tattoo shop is on the upper level. They also have to open the door for you and you definitely have to have an appointment. I would return when I'm feeling another tattoo experience. Which I'm sure I will.

I took my daughter here to have her ears pierced, and while the piercer was kind, she didn't seem…read moreexperienced. Since it's advertised that Rawan does the piercings, I was surprised that it was someone else and Rawan was not on site. I wish I had known a few important details beforehand. There's a $25 deposit required to book, which was fine, but when we arrived I learned that the only earring options available for piercing started at $100 per earring--so over $200 total. Nowhere on the website or during booking was this mentioned, and there were no more affordable choices. I think that's something families should be aware of before going in. Given the cost, I expected the earrings to be very high quality, but they left a bit of residue on her ears like you'd get from cheaper jewelry. About a month after the piercing, one earring fell out and the hole Immediately closed, even though she hadn't been touching them. When I reached out, I was told I needed to buy another earring ($100) but they could wave the $25 piercing fee, which made me very uncomfortable given the earring was low quality and fell out so easily. Another thing to note--the piercer had difficulty getting the placement right. She had to redo the markings on my daughter's ears five separate times before actually piercing, which made me nervous. Overall, the lack of transparency around pricing, issues with placement, and quality really disappointed me. I'm sharing this so other parents can go in with full information and realistic expectations.

I came here to get my belly button pierced. I was told the titanium jewelry was the best especially…read moresince my skin tends to be sensitive, i agreed and chose my jewelry which i was told was going to be $180 just for the jewelry, apart from the $25 fee i had already paid for the appointment. i got it pierced and everything was well and i did notice the bar a bit long, i thought it was normal since it tends to swell and needed space. i purchased a spray from here to clean it as well so another $20 there, i ended up spending $225 in total for a BELLY BUTTON PIERCING! some days go by and i noticed it start getting very red, i followed all instructions so what could it be? today i had enough. i couldn't even sit and the pain was very bad and i began feeling a sharp pain around my piercing. i called rawan to make sure i wasn't crazy and if it was normal, to which the moment i stated i was having issues with my piercing, she hung up on me. i tried calling back thinking maybe it was an accident, no response. I got up and went to a tattoo shop near me, as soon as i lifted my shirt and showed my piercing the piercer there gasped and told me that my piercing was done a little too low. i do have the right anatomy but the piercing should've been done a tad bit more up and she also stated my jewelry was migrating and it was too big and heavy for the way it was pierced. she gave me 2 options, take the jewelry out and let it close so i can get it redone properly or get a new sized bar to see if it heals this way. i didn't spend over $200 for nothing so i chose another bar. she sized me down to an 8mm bar and changed my jewelry on the spot for me, i feel lied to and scammed. i was intormed no piercing or jewelry should cost me over $200 let alone one done incorrectly. here are my pictures of the day i got it, the jewelry i got it changed to and the size difference. i feel so much more comfortable and i can finally sit now. im so disappointed and would love my money back, but clearly this person only cares about the money.

I submitted info via their online contact form and Laura quickly got back to me. We went back and forth a bit via emails on details because, again, our first times. Had a fantastic experience. Laura is great and could not be better. She was really REALLY concerned that we were 100% comfortable before, during, and after. We had lots of questions and she had lots of answers. Each of our tattoos took just 30-40 minutes, so not very large or intricate. She constantly checked in with us during the process. Lots of small talk which she even said ahead of time would help mitigate the very minor uncomfortableness of being poked by a needle thousands of times in the same place. It worked. Laura, and the whole studio, could not have been better. Everyone was incredibly friendly. Highly recommend R&R for any tattooing and related artwork. We're both really happy with what we now have.

I was excited when I first discovered this shop at Savage Mill, as I live in Savage and the distance is probably at most a 5 minute drive from my house. I scheduled an appointment, put down a deposit and a few weeks later headed out to the mill. Everyone at the shop was super friendly, the vibe is really chill and laid back, very different from your usual tattoo shop and Hannah, my artist, was super sweet and put a lot of care into designing my tattoo. She is really amazing at tattooing, and it is obvious how devoted she is to her clients happiness and satisfaction. Shes definitely my new favorite artist, and I will be coming back for more work in the immediate future.
