I really had my eye on these earring collections by DC Designs. As an art teacher, these were right up my alley (see my picture). When I come back, a pair of those will be my purchase.

Exotic and simple gemstones alike such as Austrian crystal, dichroic glass, sea glass, peach moonstone, larimar, lapis, malachite, rose quartz, plus lovely silver pieces, are lovingly used to create their product. They custom design pieces for clients as well as clean and polish newly bought (and previously bought) pieces, and wrap them carefully with inscripted gift cards in boxes.

My tattooing experience is not very broad. Although I have six tattoos, I've only been to two…read moreshops. When I find an artist who does clean work that matches the vision of what I wanted why would I go anywhere else. At Goodspeed, George, Jeremy and Clarissa interact like you are visiting them at home. The decor of the shop is eclectic. The music is surprising. George has done 4 of my six tattoos. Once you develop a level of trust with an artist, getting ink done is much more enjoyable. On my most recent visit I brought my daughter for her first tattoo. Both of us are super happy with how the tattoos came out. Goodspeed is a great little local shop for getting your ink done. But a tattoo shop is not a salon or preschool. Be ready for the chaotic energy that goes with artists creating permanent pieces of art on people's bodies. I don't have plans for any new work, yet. But when I do, Goodspeed is where I will go.

I've wanted to get another piercing for years and just decided to go for my septum on whim. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. This place was IMMACULATE! It smelled nice and everything was clean. The art was tasteful. They sterilized everything and showed us the chemical strip that showed that everything was sterilized. Nicholas was warm and kind and answered all my questions. I was shocked at how painless my septum piercing went; I wanted to add on a service but got scared. Now that I see how well this shop treats people, I'll definitely be back!! My wife went with me and wanted her own piercing after watching my experience! 10/10 would recommend

I've heard so many horror stories of people getting their cartilage pierced, so I was very particular in where I went. Safe to say, I am so so so glad I came to Stay True. When I come in, everyone is so welcoming. They were very kind and professional throughout the whole process. And there were so many piercing choices omg. I found one that perfectly fit my vision. My piercer was so incredibly knowledgeable of what he was doing that all of my anxiety went away. He also addressed my questions with a lot of care. I'm so incredibly happy my new piercings!!

Everyone in this shop is patient, open minded, totally willing to work with whatever you want, upfront, honest, and knowledgeable. Though the shop is family friendly, please understand that language is used loosely, and it's a room full of people getting stabbed with needles. You may hear a few colorful words- but that's the business that you've walked into. Can't say enough great things about these guys. Just go meet them yourself for any tattoo/piercing needs.
