    Showing off my new gold septum hoop and new gold nostril stud
    Alma G.

    I recently came back to get my tragus piercing with Rubi. She is always very friendly and has a cool, laid back vibe during the appointment, which helps calms my nerves. She is very thorough with the consultation and always makes sure that I am comfortable/relaxed and that I am breathing correctly through the piercing process (I tend to hold my breath which is a big no no). I cannot recommend her, and this shop, enough! Also, I recently found out that she, along with other pierciers here, are part of APP, which is so cool! You're in good hands here!

    I booked an appointment for a tragus piercing and a rook piercing. The people who work there are all awesome. They are highly professional, kind, and genuine individuals. The quality of the jewelry they use on top of expert placement really makes this place special.

    We went to Lou for my little girls nasal piercing. Lou was very kind and explained everything in great detail. What's super impressive is the sterile piercing environment. Years ago I got my lip pierced somewhere else and it was literally just grab with the instrument and wipe quickly and poke. Lou used complete sterile technique that could mimic the Or experience. I've worked in hospital environments and he draped correctly prepped correctly and even donned sterile gloves correctly. I know I'm hyper focused on this but it's critical to how safe they conduct their process that stands out. My little girl was totally at ease and Lou was very patient and kind as he talked her through it.

    Rook piercing done this visit by Christopher. Double helix and conch done previously by Evan.

    0/10. Do NOT come here…read more I found this artist through Instagram for anime tattoos. His work looked good, so I reached out. He was quick to respond and asked for a $200 deposit, which I sent via Apple Pay on March 5 to the shop owner. We booked for March 16. Leading up to the appointment, he would send random updates on the design, but nothing was finalized. I gave feedback and stayed patient, even knowing they had a Friday the 13th event going on. I didn't hit him up again until March 15 (the day before my appointment) because we STILL didn't have a finished design, which is wild. He tells me he'll have it done that day. Cool. Then a few hours later, I get a generic email saying my appointment is canceled. No explanation. Nothing. So I reach out to the number I sent my $200 to asking for a refund, and instead of handling it like professionals, they get confrontational and start acting like I'm the problem for asking for MY money back. They try to hide behind a "no refund" policy... even though THEY canceled on me. Make that make sense. I added my conversation with the artist, since the owner wants to claim harassment. Judge for yourself. No policy was ever clearly shown to me, and communication was trash the entire time. Instead of owning their mistake, they blamed me and got disrespectful. I only got my money back after I told them I'd file a chargeback with my bank and take them to small claims court. Go read their bad reviews--you'll see a pattern, especially with how the owner talks to customers. Super unprofessional. Save your time, save your money, and go somewhere else.

    I was actually sent to Enigma through another amazing piercing shop-- specifically because of the…read moretype of piercing I was requesting (triangle piercing). I'm truly grateful for such a kind and professional redirection-- because the piercing is an uncommon request and very anatomy dependent. I'm really glad my piercer at Enigma, Didier, was able to take their time to not only perform it, but also communicate what he was looking for to be able to do so successfully. Didier talked me through appropriate anatomy requirements for it, gave me a mirror to show how he'd like to position the piercing ideally, discussed jewelery options/possible adjustments to the bar to accommodate healing he'd like to do (if needed), and even mentioned common issues he'd like to avoid that are run into when piercers try to manipulate the area and how such can make the piercing difficult to do/accomplish appropriately. He also thoughtfully kept checking in with me while he was making preparations (sterilizing, PPE, etc.) to make sure to answer any questions and ease any feelings of anxiety. I would absolutely recommend Didier if you're considering a piercing-- he's really knowledgeable and I felt very secure that I made the right decision coming to Enigma because of him.

    Brought my daughter here for her first piercings. We had an appointment with Franceska and she was…read moreso amazing with my daughter. She explained the full process to her as it was happening to help ease her anxiety. The place was clean and very relaxing. The two ladies who helped us check in were also super sweet with my kid and answered all of her questions regarding the piercings and options. I saw that maybe the biggest complaint was the price, honestly, while it was pricey, it was worth it. I know we got a quality product, highly hiegenic, and well done (by a professional). I am looking forward to returning in the near future.
