Moving to a new city and finding a great (and reputable) piercing studio is a tricky one. You want…read moreto befriend a piercer for all your sparkling needs and find a front of house to help in curations, custom orders and more. After leaving a studio who did all that and more for me on the east coast, mid-ear project, I was on the hunt. GoodLife is appointment only, with reputable piercers, jewelry options and a cleanliness that reminds you of a fancy (but cool) drs office. NGL my first visit, I was welcomed by a tough FOH. I'd be lying if it wasn't the first time I've encountered a person who treated someone who is not as alt presenting differently. BUT my knowledge of jewelry and brands, placements and piercing upkeep is thorough and the reason I bothered driving 45 mins to this studio. Upon making my appointment I picked out Kelly, who JUST so happened to work that weekend. They were AHMAZING, sweet, professional, and made you feel good. And for me, it was good enough to keep coming back. They introduced me to Ezra, the studio manager, for a custom order placement and that interaction continued to make up for the initial not so great check in. I've been back 2 more times since and have had great service each time. I've been introduced to Marissa as well and look forward to having a second piercer to work with on my ears. Folks know but its like tattoo artists, you just end up with your go-tos. They have great jewelry options and will work with you to order outside of any of the brands in their cases, custom or otherwise. Go get poked and sparkly!

Before my first visit here, I checked out several body mod shops looking for someone to do an industrial; all of them recommended JR for more unusual (and more difficult) piercings. I went there and was so thrilled with how he worked and how he treated me: he took measurements, adjusted the bar to fit, even getting me water and letting me hang out in the piercing chair for as long as I needed when I got dizzy afterwards. There was no hurry, the price was entirely reasonable, and his space (as well as the jewelry) was completely clean and sterile. I haven't went anywhere else since. On a returning visit I wanted my lobes stretched a bit to accommodate some new plugs I had received. He did this free of charge even though he had to use weights (granted, he got a big tip for his generosity). This kind of treatment is certainly hard to find, especially around the suburbs here. You might have to wait a bit as he does not rush with his clients, but as I mentioned, it is so well worth it. If you are looking for an experienced piercer, please go check him out. And if you are looking into a more unusual piercing, there is no one around that does a better job - even the other piercers in the area will send you to him!

My family is so impressed by C & L Tattoo! We stopped in on Dec 28 looking to check the shop out…read moreand get a small piece to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday; and also to possibly book a family tattoo session for smet Rhino and he was great! He talked to Rhyan about what she wanted - a simple triple moon, solid black. While she was in the chair being inked we all talked about the matching Stitches we wanted and even showed him the one Rhyan drew. It was great to talk with him and as we flipped through his online work and tallied we knew we were in the right place. Rhyans first tat turned out beautifully. It had hardly at scaring, scanning or swelling. She followed his protocol and it healed within days! We booked our Stitch tattoos for Jan 25 and in between that Chara booked to have the triple moon outline done on her. It also healed perfectly and both Rhyan and Chara raved on how easy it was to sit for Rhino. I was so excited when today finally got here so I too got to sit and get tatted! This is only my second Tattoo but it was such a better experience than my first! Rhino did Rhyan first today and she got her full piece. As we were talking he suggested he would start with just the outliine on me and Chara and while we joked about it being "older" skin that is truly a factor in tats and one I'm so glad bee brought up! I told him he's the expert and I welcomed any suggestions he had. The line work is so super clean! It's been on about 12 hours now and I've washed and put my aquaphora on it. The swelling is down and there is very little too almost no redness. I am so stoked! Charas is looking great, too! Rhyans is absolutely awesome! We know ours will be, too! If you're looking for a knowledgeable tattoo shop with a great staff then make the drive out to champion. We've talked to several of the other artists and everyone is so kind, so talented, we really feel like we have found us a shop we will be using again and again! great place!
