If I could give Beth more stars, I absolutely would!…read more My daughter and I went to Alley Cat Ink for piercings today - she got a conch and I got a rook and Beth was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we met her, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. She's one of those rare people who is instantly warm, funny, and genuinely comforting, all while being completely professional. Her space was spotless and organized, and you can tell she takes pride in creating a clean, safe environment. She also has a huge selection of gorgeous jewelry for when your piercing heals, which my daughter is already excited about. The actual piercing experience was amazing. Beth explained everything clearly, walked us through the process step by step, and her aftercare instructions were so easy to understand. She made both of us feel relaxed and confident the entire time. Most importantly, Beth is just sweet, awesome, and truly gifted at what she does. We left feeling taken care of, laughing, and already talking about coming back in the near future. If you're thinking about getting pierced--go see Beth. She's the best.

Absolutely awesome experience getting my ears pierced here! I was visiting from California and…read moretrying to find a place to get my ears pierced, and I am so happy I chose this place. The shop is incredibly clean, comfortable, and has a fantastic selection of earrings and jewelry to choose from. The prices for both service and jewelry were also great. I am including several pictures of their selection and prices for reference. The star of the show is Beth. She was incredibly patient and ensured I was happy with placement beforehand. She asked several times to ensure I was sure things looked right before doing the piercing and encouraged me to speak up if I wanted things changed beforehand. After she pierced my second lobe, I got super lighted (a common thing for me with needles, unfortunately). Beth, however, was prepared and got a water bottle in my hand and a fan going within seconds. We had a delightful chat for about 15 minutes afterwards as I recovered. Once finished, she provided me with detailed aftercare instructions and gave me a card with her contact info in case I had any issues. She even took out little baskets of stickers and candy that she let my two young nieces take a few from as we were leaving.

It was a long time since my friend and I have been pierced, and he put on some sick music that helped relax us and answered all of our questions so it was great.

I didn't get one because my husband wasn't with us and we usually do them as a family.
