Everything is by appointment and pricing is inflated. You have to *buy* time at the jewelry counter to browse. You can't make an appointment and expect to browse for jewelry, you need to make a browsing appointment. I paid $250 dollars for my 9 year old daughter's ear lobe piercings, and the experience has been beyond subpar. They take zero responsibility for the fact that two days after her post change, her right lobe is showing signs of infection. Instead, they are blaming me repeatedly for my use of bio-active silver hydrosol which cleared up completely the signs of infection it showed a month ago. Her ear was fine when she came in for the post change. After their scolding, I stopped the silver. Now, two days after the post change, with zero silver applied, her ear is showing signs of infection and they are saying, despite their touted combined decades of wound care experience, they have no idea what's going on, but it's probably my fault and definitely not their fault even though the only difference between her healthy ear and infected one, is a post change at their facility. Rude, unprofessional, expensive, and zero compassion. Three days later, I've changed her irritated ear jewelry on my own back to the original barbell, washed her piercing with tattoo goo piercing soap, drained the inflammation from her earlobe, and applied hot compresses and SILVER SULFADIAZINE cream per a doctor's medical recommendation and it's looking 10,000 times better, no thanks whatsoever to the she/hers @ Black Diamond Piercing.

We had a little bit of trouble finding the place as he doesn't have a sign yet, but once we found it we were pleasantly surprised. Once inside you're met with a very clean waiting room with comfortable seating. It's a very calm environment which is important when you're having anxiety about getting a needle shoved through your body. Jay was very laid back, funny, extremely informative and knowledgeable. He was also understanding and did what he could to calm my nerves. It's been probably 18 years since I had gotten a piercing so I was a tiny bit on edge. He answered every obnoxious question my friend and I had without getting annoyed... if he was annoyed he certainly is good at hiding it. The entire process was really quick. I appreciated that because the longer something takes...the more time I have to get worked up over it. Once he was done he explained where the used needles go and where he sends the tools to be sterilized. When it came time to pay he went over what to use for cleaning. He didn't try to sell us what he has and even said we can find it cheaper elsewhere. My friend and I bought it there as it's convenient and we respected him for his honesty. Overall, he was very nice and if I ever need another hole put in me...I'll let Jay do it.

I met with both the owner, Christian and the guy who would become my artist, Ricky Waite. I showed them what I was looking to get and booked an appointment for 3-4 weeks later. Long story short, Ricky came up with a design that far exceeded my original expectations. Could not be happier with the result. I will definitely be back. I'm already working on the next design. And Ricky will definitely be the one to make it a reality. Thank you to all at Lovecraft. You guys are amazing. !!!!

I've wanted to get another piercing for years and just decided to go for my septum on whim. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. This place was IMMACULATE!

Nicholas was warm and kind and answered all my questions. I was shocked at how painless my septum piercing went; I wanted to add on a service but got scared.

Everyone in this shop is patient, open minded, totally willing to work with whatever you want, upfront, honest, and knowledgeable.
