I live in California, but anytime I'm in Arizona and want a new piercing, I always go to Dilan. He's super nice, professional, and has such a great hand that you barely feel a thing. Every piercing I've gotten from him has healed quickly and painlessly, which is why I keep coming back. It's hard to find someone you trust with piercings, but Dilan has definitely earned mine. I'll gladly keep making the trip from California! read more

My mom and I had a fantastic experience with Bri today. I truly appreciate her attention to detail with the design, her patience as my mom got her first tattoo, and her communication through the whole process. I would highly recommend her and definitely be interested in coming back for more pieces! Thank you Bri! read more

I came in to Bright Ideas about a month ago for a jewelry change on one of my piercings and it was a great experience. I contacted Dilan via Instagram before visiting and he was very helpful and quick to respond. When I was in the shop, Dilan was incredibly friendly and helpful, and made conversation with me while he worked. Excellent experience! I have gotten all of my piercings done at another shop and plan to have Dilan perform my next one. read more

Good prices, but I called to ask a few questions and the guy didn't know his own pricing and hung up the phone on me. Unprofessional.

Friend and I called to ask if walk-ins were available, they said yes. They were super kind & very inviting. The shop is incredibly clean & they did great on our tattoos. Would definitely recommend coming here! read more

My sister and I went to get our noses pierced here. For background context, i've had terrible jobs done that traumatized me from the needle, especially my nose.. Destiny was the professional expert I needed after years of wanting my nose pierced again but being so scared. She took my small scar into consideration, felt it to make sure it was safe to pierce my nose at all, and marked an alternative and optimal spot that satisfied my desired look. The piercing process itself was seamless and painless and she was super communicative the whole time to ease our nerves, she knows what she's doing. We both LOVE our new piercings and they're healing beautifully. I absolutely recommend this place, Destiny was wonderful. I will be going to her for any piercings in the future. read more

Got my eyebrow pierced and then changed later on and the dude was so nice and professional. Believe his name is Dilan

I came in as a walk in.. staff was very off putting . i wanted my first tattoo so they told Juelz to take me and he was very rude and told another girl who was very polite to take us and we just ended up leaving because the whole vibe was just off . read more

Felt good from the second I walked through the door! Great people doing great things! Their girl that was piercing that day was super nice and fun to talk to! My artist's name was Raven...this is probably the first tattoo that I didn't have to "baby" after getting it done...he was very gentle and did an awesome job!!! It has healed up very nice and quickly too! I'm probably gonna hit him up again next time I'm in town! Thank you Raven for my new ink!! I'm so happy with it and happy that my cousin has the same one and it looks identical in every way! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RAVEN AND BRIGHT IDEAS!!! Everyone needs to go and get some ink there or get pierced there!! Oh, and they sell great body jewelry there as well!! Got a really beautiful dangling belly ring there...maybe next time I'm there I will get my nose pierced too!! read more

Got three piercings here asked for the 3 to make my other ear gave me three different sized earrings that did not match what so ever went back to ask for matching earrings for when it was healed I could swap it and got a tattoo artist with an attitude saying they don't do returns obviously I wanted the jewelry not to give back the one in my ear..... fix your mistakes..... then they gave me an entirely different size from all three ??? idk what's going on called twice to see if a piercer would be in they said yes. got there and there was not. waste of time if you want things done professionally DO NOT COME HERE !!! read more

Got my hand done by jeulz. Was the best experience yet. Very soft hands for doing my ball sack tattoo....would recommend to anyone and will for sure come back. read more

Clean, comfortable and great artist. Was a little nervous because I haven't gotten work done since before Covid. Had some tattoo work done by Juelz and I'm extremely excited and happy on the whole experience. Work station was clean, he made sure I was comfortable at all times, and the tattoo was fantastic. Even gave me aftercare instruction sheet which is super helpful! Can't wait for this artwork heals up read more

No one deserves to be treated the way the piercer treated me the day I went. I go in for a piercing and I tell the piercer what I wanted and they immediately respond with which kind and I simply ask "what's the difference?" and they look at me as If I did something horribly wrong as a curious customer by asking a normal question and they pause and say, "Do you have your phone?". I reply yes and they say "Search it up." Extremely rude and unprofessional way of responding to a simple question instead of explaining it to me or even providing photos. After figuring out which kind I wanted they bring me to the back and mark where they would place the piercing, they show me and it's much higher than my reference photo and when I asked for them to please lower it they seemed annoyed and I asked more questions about what the final product of my piercing would look like and they would just stare at me blankly and never respond to my questions. After piercing me they offered a five dollar bottle of cleaner and I said yes and then the total for both the piercing and cleaner would have been 35 so when I walk up to the counter I hand them two 20 dollar bills and I was fully expecting the change. Instead they tell me have a nice day. As a service worker I NEVER expect any extra change is mine as a tip and I was definitely not going to leave them a tip after the way they treated me. I felt rushed, misinformed, and disrespected. Please spare your time and money and go to another place for a piercing because no one deserves to be treated so rudely as a paying customer. Will NOT be coming back and won't be recommending to anyone. read more

I spoke to Bri on instagram and she was kind enough to make my appointment. It's my first tattoo but she was assuring me on everything she's so kind! She did AMAZING! I'd totally come by again in the future read more

Chaz is amazing! Gotten multiple piercings already from her and they have been great! They are always quick and easy and she's very nice as well! read more

Very quick and easy, affordable price. The people weren't exactly friendly but they weren't unfriendly just very quick

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Dilan!! I had gotten my navel pierced a couple years back & had an awful experience. Dilan reassured me into getting it done again & it was the smoothest process! He is very informative, professional, & patient. He is truly amazing at what he does & I could not recommend him more. He is so nice & has no problem being helpful if you are experiencing any issues with your piercing. Will never be going to any piercer again after Dilan for sure. read more

I'm not gonna leave a lengthy review over this situation, Staff is rude and doesnt know how to handle a hasty situations. Unprofessional is one word Id use. Again you only prove my point i was with a friend of mine but here you are jumping to call someone's review at your business fake. So professional. read more

I just got my navel pierced tonight be Dilan. I've been wanting to do this for years but have always been too nervous. Dilan made it very quick & painless, & was reassuring. He made it a great experience! I've also gotten many ear piercings by him, & they all heal perfectly. He's the only one I trust! He's also very kind & pleasant, & answers all my questions. I definitely recommend him! Thank you Dilan! read more

Dilan is amazing, I've been going to him for an about 3 years now I refuse to get pierced by anyone else!

Great Experience from the time we walked in to the time we left. My daughter and I went to get our septum pierced. We were greeted with a friendly face and the lady that pierced us was super sweet and knowledgeable. Will highly recommend and be back. read more

Today was my first time going to Bright Ideas. This was my 9th tattoo, all ranging from different sizes, and different parts of the body. I reached out to Mia via Instagram. We set the appointment, sent the deposit, etc. I was super excited to get work done by her, as her lines were really clean and perfect for the work we wanted. The night before she messaged me asking if we could come 30 minutes early, so we did. We got there 10 minutes before our time. My mistake, but prior I did not have her quote us. She did there, and quoted us $80 each. As mentioned, I have had A LOT of tattoos, so I immediately knew she was screwing us over, as $160 for what we got is not normal. She then went on to ask me if I was old enough to get a tattoo. I am in my mid twenties, and look young, but isn't that something you're supposed to ask prior? She then made a comment about how she just didn't know since it was a mother daughter matching tattoo in a condescending tone.. We waited for over 40 minutes and weren't seen until our original appointment time... I had mentioned we were working, and made accommodations to make sure we could get there in time. While waiting, the shop seemed a mess. I have been tattooed by convicted felons and the shop had more professionalism. Everyone was yelling and talking, the guy next to us took an hour to put a stencil on, he was talking so much. They began to talk about a guy who didn't show up to his appointment and how the artist waited 30 minutes and it disrespected his time. They were all agreeing - yet, the irony is clients are waiting longer than that. Is their time not as valuable? When it was finally our turn, Mia began making remarks that made me feel uncomfortable. She started asking, again kind of condescending, if this was my first tattoo. Didn't ask my mom either, only me. I told her it wasn't. She told me, again condescending, that this one would be more spicy. I explained my first tattoo was 6hrs on my ribs, I would be ok... Overall, she just kept making remarks about me and asking questions, that made me feel extremely uncomfortable and judged. We hardly talked the entire time because we just felt uncomfortable at this point. 40+ minute wait, 2 tattoos, 30 minutes for both + setup/clean up and $180 later... lol. We got ripped off and truly treated not well. I was really excited to find an artist with such clean lines, but I will not be going back. 3 stars because the work is good, but their are others who are just as good, don't rip people off, and have better overall bedside manners. This tattoo was extremely special to my mom and I as she is moving across the country. It would have been nice to have a special moment to share with her, instead of getting such a poor, uncomfortable experience. To add, luckily for us, we have several tattoos. However, she further didn't even offer aftercare information or anything. It was almost as if she knew she was making us uncomfortable, and just continued to make comments, or simply just wanted us out of there. Overall, this experience truly put a damper on the meaning of this tattoo, as the energy behind it just seems so negative now. Definitely would recommend going elsewhere. read more

Chaz was amazing when I got my naval piercing, I was scared but it didn't hurt at all

I'll start of with saying Dillan is AWESOME! I got my nose pierced from a different shop and had a horrible experience (fainted and painful) and was scared to get it pierced again after it closed up. My best friend recommended Dillan so I went for it. I did not feel a thing! It was the best experience and was very calm! My nose piercing healed great! I got a belly piercing from Dillan a couple years ago and he was able to pierce it again not once but 2X with no pain! I am terrified to get piercings but I trust Dillan to do mine! I went to get my belly pierced 3 days ago and it was quick and easy. I DM'd him prior to showing up to the shop and he replied to my message quickly and answered all my questions. 10000/10 great experience, thank you! read more

I went in to get a matching tattoo at the end of April and after seeing it healed, I hate it. The letters look horrible, especially the R and U that were dragged out. I thought it was extra ink that had smeared and would go away, but no. In addition, I feel bad that I brought my younger sister to get her first tattoo because hers is not straight. The only tattoo that came out the way it was supposed to was my friends. Now, I have moved out of state and I'm hoping I can find someone willing to fix it. 5 stars for the place being clean but I personally wouldn't go back or recommend them for a tattoo. Update: We were not advised against getting small lettering but instead advised on getting "Never grow old" instead because it "looked better". I have gladly accepted recommendations from artists in the past when given especially when it comes to font. In this case, it was not given. Also, as stated before it was a matching tattoo. My friends came out perfect so the font wasn't the issue. Thank you for reaching back out but, we will not be back. read more

While researching VCH piercings one of the first requirements was to find a skilled and trusted piercer - I didn't have to look once I found out Chaz performed them. She has done all of my piercings and is consistently safe, professional, knowledgeable, and caring. I will never go anywhere else. All of my questions were answered and I was made to feel safe and comfortable before, during, and after the process - we even laughed, and nothing helps you feel comfortable like some laughter! I never have concerns about proper healing, which gives me time to just be excited about a new piercing. If I do have concerns during the process, I know Chaz is available for any questions I may have. I'm grateful for a talented local piercer and look forward to the next one! read more

I am sad to say that this was not a great experience. My friends and I had read rave reviews about a piercer here. I got my nose pierced, and my friends, their ears. When we went in, it was a different person. We did not make an appointment, because we were told on the phone they only took walk-ins. We assumed that based on the reviews, we would be fine. The lady that took us was rather unfriendly, brash, and in a hurry. There was no one else there waiting for piercings, but she definitely moved more quickly than I felt comfortable and seemed impatient with me. She also seemed as though we were an annoyance to her -- that is just how I read her vibe and body language but that is how important the energy that one exudes is especially in a setting like this. Her piercing care instructions were very fast and difficult to keep up with and they offered nothing in writing for instructions. It turns out that following the instructions she provided me irritated my piercing site. I've had to go elsewhere for post care because of irritation from the angle at which it was pierced, the style and metal of the jewelry, and the care instructions that rather irritated it. I had much higher hopes for getting my nose done! read more

After reading the reviews I went to see Dilan to get my nose (nostril) pierced. Overall the experience was great; booth was clean, procedure was quick and painless, enjoyed some good conversation. After piercing my nose, I then decided to have him pierce my second hole on my left ear as well. I am new to the area from CA and was nervous based on reviews I read from other shops. I'd go back to him again and recommend him to anyone else looking to get pierced. read more

Dilan is the ONLY piercer i trust. He did 4 ear piercings for me today and he also did my septum about 2 years ago! He is so friendly and knowledgeable! I would 10/10 recommend going to him!!! His Instagram is full of helpful tips and his availability is in his bio which is so convenient. Thank you so so so much, will definitely be back soon!!! :) :) :) read more

Rude and unprepared, employees. Very unwelcoming, I do not recommend never going back

I called at 1:45 and booked an appointment for 6 to get a tattoo that consisted of 7 words, the girl said she had time and could do it and come in. I came in for my appointment, even a little early for it, and she was doing a walk-in. At first she asked what I was getting and I showed her and she said not a problem and she was running about 30 minutes late as she took a walk in right after she got off the phone with me... Okay, no problem, I get that.... Then at 6:30 she said she was almost done but could only get me in and not my sister, which I asked if she could do her after me when I first came in and she at first said it wouldn't be a problem, but then said her babysitter was blowing up her phone so she could do mine but was still working on the walk-in.... At 7:45 she came over and said she couldn't get to me as she still wasn't done with the walk in and had to go get her kids. As a mom and I do get the whole kid thing, I do, but, you don't book an appointment and take a walk in that you can't do in the time allotted. I asked if the other tattoo guy that was there could do it, and she told me no because the shop closes at a certain time and it wasn't possible. I ended up going somewhere else and he had it done in less than an hour and it looks amazing. I'm disappointed that I was shrugged off as I wasn't a valued customer. I have never been to a shop that I made an appointment with and was turned away because someone couldn't figure out their time management. I recommend Dilan there for a piercing, but I wouldn't go for a tattoo if that's the customer service you get. read more

First time visitor from CA. I was looking for a local shop to get a piercing. I sent them an email about the piercing cost, they answered pretty quickly. I went the next day, they sell terrarium oddities, which adds to the vibe. The guy who did my piercing was very nice, walked me though the steps and what he was going to do. They also have an atm there! Charges you $3 read more

My granddaughter got her ears pierced, and I had two more piercings put in my ears. The staff there is friendly and knowledgeable about their craft. I'm a nurse, and they were excellent in their post-care instructions. Their prices are certainly reasonable. I will be returning for a belly button stud and a tattoo. I think they're awesome. I would highly recommend them read more
