Had a wonderful experience with Allen today. I've been contemplating getting my nostril pierced for…read moreabout 10 years now and I finally decided to do it today. I requested a quote from several vendors and Allen was the first to reply and was super prompt with my follow up questions. At the shop, you can expect a sterile environment, but the vibes are wayyyy cool. Allen was thorough with his explanations and quelled any nerves that I had. He was very knowledgeable and his years of experience was comforting. I ended up with a gold 2mm stud and it looks great. Did it hurt? A little, but I feel like I get hurt when I get up from a long nap, so what do I know. Definitely would recommend this shop and Allen. He's great vibes, funny, super clean and very professional. He even laughed at all my jokes so that a plus for me. Fulfilled my midlife crisis goal.

My second time back at Aura Piercing & Fine Jewelry and I'm as pleased as ever…read more I came into the shop because some of my previously purchased jewelry from another retailer fell out and I lost the flat backs. I came into the shop as a Hail Mary just to see if they carried something that would fit the studs I already owned. Not only was Allen able to help me and replace the flat backs on my existing jewelry, he also informed me that my naval piercing that fell out months ago wasn't closed. Instead of having to re-pierce Allen advised me all I needed to do was buy or bring in jewelry and he'd insert it for me. I love the honesty and how helpful Allen was! His advice saved me some coin and I'm so grateful this isn't a money grabbing establishment. This is my now my go-to spot!

I've been here plenty of times and have loved this place from my very first visit. The atmosphere…read moreis always kind and welcoming, and the work is consistently exceptional from every single piercer. Most recently, I worked with Cat and Hernan. I especially wanted to shout out Hernan for my navel piercing. He did a phenomenal job. He was communicative and completely open to my requests. It's been about three days now, and I'm honestly surprised by how little soreness and discomfort I've had. I'm a bigger guy with a stomach, so I was a little concerned about how a navel piercing would feel, especially since it's a high movement area. But after the first 12 hours, there is very little soreness, and I'm already noticing less discomfort when I move. I think a lot of that has to do with Hernan's skill and attention to placement. He checked the placement while I was standing, sitting, and laying down to see how my stomach and navel moved and sat in each position. That level of care really stood out to me and should be standard but isn't everywhere which is why I always go here. For any plus size person wondering if a navel piercing is possible or will heal well, it definitely will! It's more about your individual anatomy than your size, but having a knowledgeable piercer who understands anatomy of all sizes makes a huge difference. Everyone here is great. I just wanted to give Hernan a special shoutout for this recent work. Thanks!

I…read morefound her through Yelp, and she also came highly recommended by family friends--I can definitely see why. Her appointments are done from her home, which made the experience feel very comfortable and welcoming. At the same time, everything was extremely professional, clean, and organized. She even had a whole wall of toys and immediately made my daughter feel comfortable by welcoming her with a colorful spinning toy. She took her time explaining the entire process, answered our questions, and went over all of our options. A few weeks later, one of my daughter's earrings accidentally fell out, and Dr. Sharron was incredibly helpful and guided us through exactly what to do. Overall, I'm so happy with our experience and definitely do not regret choosing her for such a special first. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Sharron to any parent looking to have their little one's ears pierced!

Both experiences were wonderful. She is kind, patient, professional, and accommodating. You can tell she genuinely cares about the babies and making parents feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She takes her time to make sure the placement is perfect, which is especially impressive with a wiggly baby constantly moving around. She never rushes and pays attention to every little detail. She also sends you home with everything you need to properly care for the piercings and even gives the babies little toys, which is such a thoughtful touch. She is so sweet and made the entire experience stress-free and positive. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get their child's ears pierced.
