Since the three of us all wanted multiple piercings I reached out on Facebook ahead of time to make an appointment. I was nervous about my septum but it actually hurt less than my lobe. Sara got through our requests quicker than I anticipated. All piercings were $50. They do take walk-ins.

I have been to many tattoo shops across the country and outside the US, I can honestly say this is…read morethe only shop I have ever been in where I have heard negative talk openly about their customers. the heavy set short dude towards the front was just ridiculous total attention seeker, he talked so loud everyone could hear him, he kept name dropping famous people he allegedly knows. The guy was walking around giving his opinion on everything from the music playing to other peoples art pieces ,totally unsolicited advice , kinda seemed like he was getting on some of the other artists nerves, then he starts talking about some lady who is coming in for a Crow movie tattoo with the quote it can't rain all the time and making fun of it ,Heres the thing "fun boy" yes a lot of people like that movie and that quote , he acted like a bully I bet he took her $$ for that tattoo And I will bet he didn't have the balls to insult it in front of her. If someone wants to be negative about clients, do it somewhere out of earshot, other people getting tattooed don't want to hear it. My artist was actually respectful, they did exactly what I wanted and it turned out great and the shop is very clean and well decorated. The owners and some of the other artists seem cool but not that dude , there are plenty of tattoo shops around that anyone wanting a tattoo won't have that kind of experience. 3 stars for my artist my tattoo and the shop overall.
