Thank you to Joslyn for helping me repierce my septum. I am very pleased with the experience and…read morewas informed on how to use a glass retainer to maintain my septum whenever I have an MRI. This is the second time that I've been to the tattoo and piercing shop; the first time I went with a friend and also came in for a repiercing due to a hospitalization. I'm hoping this will be the last time that I go to this shop for a repiercing, but I will definitely come back here if I have to. Joslyn was extremely professional and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time during the piercing process by double checking that it didn't hurt. I had to purchase one of their steel titanium jewelry ($15 was the cheapest one) and was not allowed to use my own jewelry that I bought from Laughing Buddha. Which is totally understandable and makes sense as to why they don't use other jewelry outside of their own. I think it also specifies in their rules or contract that you're not allowed to bring in outside jewelry, but I would call to make sure. I also did not like that they didn't have a more comfortable waiting/seating area. Those tiny chairs on wheels are not really plus-sized friendly and I would have appreciated a regular chair instead of those. The online booking experience for an appointment within 3 days was easy to use on their website. I believe there was a $5 security deposit that goes into your overall total at the end of your piercing/tattoo session. In fact, my piercer Joslyn even emailed me to ask questions about my piercing history and whatnot. I really appreciated her attentiveness to detail and for taking the initiative to understand her customer's needs. Overall, I had a pleasant experience with my piercer Joslyn and would highly recommend her for your piercing needs. Thanks again!!

The piercer's tools broke during the appointment, and I was left in a lot of pain while waiting for everything to be fixed and finished. Every other piercing shop I've visited has felt welcoming and comfortable, but Somatic came across as awkward and somewhat judgmental, which made the overall experience even less enjoyable.

I can't tell you how much I love this studio. I had to go back last week to have them remove my…read morenose ring for a CT scan (dropped back by right after so they could put it back in). They were awesome, as always, and cheerfully got me in and out amidst delightful banter both times. When I had to go back today for the same reason (because the CT results weren't great, I'll leave it at that), they were just so kind and sweet and seemed genuinely affected by my situation. So yeah, go here. Go here for all your piercings, and anything related to said. They are not only great at their jobs, but they are truly kind people and I am grateful I discovered this studio years ago, and have rediscovered it in the last couple of months. Even thinking two hours later of how genuinely kind they were brings me to tears, to be honest.

I understand they were low on stock…read morebecause of the Friday the 13th sale--that's totally reasonable--but what really threw me off was the lack of basic customer service. I asked the front desk worker if she could recommend another nearby studio, and she straight up said that wasn't part of her job. I'm sorry, but if you're working the front desk in customer service, isn't your role literally to help customers? Even just a simple suggestion or showing some willingness to help would've gone a long way. The attitude came off dismissive and unhelpful, which completely ruined the experience for me. Definitely expected more professionalism.

This is by far my favorite shop. The vibe is too dope. My husband and I randomly found David when…read moremy brother died and I wanted to do a tribute tattoo. He was fucking awesome. Then he did my knuckles(another tribute to my brother). We came back to him for our wedding bands. He's always been so much fun, so professional, so clean and hygienic. But the reason I'm writing this post is because I found out I'm allergic to a great deal of my environment and had to get my dermal removed. He joked around about it when I scheduled, and made it so much more lighthearted because I was stressed. Then when he did the procedure, he made sure to ask what I could tolerate, even when he put the tape on. That dermal was in there too, had been in for 13 years... took David all of six seconds to get it out and he made it seem easy. Needless to say, he's the only person our family goes to for tattoo and piercing services now. We've also met the owner and today we met a beautiful female artist with red locks that also works there, and I've been to lots of shops in my life and this shop is by far my favorite vibe. Everyone is a pleasure to talk to and we always leave this place super happy. Thank you broadway tattoo!!! You guys are awesome!
