She was kind and sweet and made me feel calm. This was the first piercing I've ever done without a friend at my side, so I was extra nervous but Ana helped to keep me calm. The piercing was not painful and is healing well so far! Bought some saline at the counter. I am very happy with my navel piercing! Can't wait to come back!

Hi! Thanks for your response! I greatly appreciate it! Your employee Haley said the website didn't…read morestate any of what you just said and needed to be updated. She also stated she would inform you of this so you could fix it. I'm glad you finally updated your website so that future customers won't experience what my daughter did.  I'm never too busy or in a rush to read regarding my money and my daughter's safety. Anything that requires upfront payments or a deposit; I'm going to read so I know if I will be refunded in unforeseen situations like the one at your shop. Taking accountability for a mistake is much better than responding passive-aggressively, especially considering that you are the shop owner. Again, thanks for responding. Have an amazing day!

Made an appointment for the following day and Marcy handled my septum and answered a bunch of my followup questions. also explained exactly how the piercing works (finding the sweet spot) and how she'd perform it step-by-step. Super professional and clean and *precise* work! I love the septum and will schedule a 6 week checkup as advised in the release form. Thank you!!

I'm extremely upset with the piercing side of this shop. I asked a person there with help opening…read moreup my 8 gauge septum ring, and the first thing i noticed was the look of uncertainty. The second thing was the lack of correct equipment. He used thick rusty pliers (which is incredibly risky because this piercing is STILL HEALING!!) and scissors instead of ring opening pliers of flat nose pliers. My brand new, expensive jewlery broke in his hands without compensation. He stated "this is the risk that you take". However, no risk was stated and there was no debriefing done. I've had rings of a similar gauge opened just fine. I'm very disappointed because My jewelry broke before I could wear it out and it was a waste of money because I cannot wear it anymore. He stated to me that "i've never seen a septum piercing this large before" which i could understand, but to me it shows that he should've declined the job if he knew he didn't have experience in it. This is my second weird experience with my septum piercing at this shop. The first time was when the piercer tried telling me what gauge i was at (assumed 16) and debated with me about with me knowing it was a 12. Then proceeded to say 20 gauge is thicker and 16 is thinner, which is opposite. The people on the piercing side here do not know what they are doing.

I got a tattoo by Shamil which was around 2 inches and simple line work and it was not the best. We…read morehad discussed and printed out exactly what the tattoo would be before hand. It's basically a hand snapping with little stars and planets around it. The problem is that the hand wasn't done as neatly as I would've liked it to be. The stars were not either, they are VERY simple stars. What left a bad taste in my mouth was after the tattoo was done I'd also realized he left some little but major details out. When I left the shop I observed my tattoo more and more until I realized and had to go back to tell him what he forgot. He apologized and added what was missing. As I started to leave the shop I realized he forgot to bandage me again, so I reminded him. Apologized again. Apologies are great and all but if you are in the profession of putting PERMANENT tattoos on peoples bodies you should be taking this WAY more seriously! Just my opinion! I will not go back. Also, if you are staff and look at a customer come into your shop.. SAY HELLO.

The services are wildly expensive; I wound up paying around $300 for jewelry that immediately tarnished day of and piercings that were so painful and irritating that I had to take them out the day after I got them done. They charge per earring, which start at about $50, so there's no way you're paying less than $100 for jewelry. Which I would understand, if the jewelry was high quality and tarnish-free, but the jewelry rusted and turned my ear black within hours. The staff is very nice, but please consider going to a real piercing shop with real professionals to avoid the pain I went through after this experience.
