I had been feeling frustrated after being flaked on for several consults, so I gave up on trying to go through someone I knew or a recommendation. I called Diablo shortly after they opened and was told we could come in the same day.

We met with Ricky Lee, the owner, and ended up booking with him before we even left. He was honest, knowledgeable, and the overall vibe was just right. 10/10 recommend! The piece is beautiful. I think I even found my new shop.

Honestly this place gets five stars just for how f-ing fast this guy (John) was. My husband and I…read moreboth have had more than a few piercings each so neither of us wanted to waste time answering a bunch of questions or hearing the aftercare speech. Between the phone call and walking in I think I answered like 3 questions total, and the needle was in my nose within the first 2 minutes. He talked the whole time and moved so fast I didn't even realize he was done until a couple minutes later when he said, "you can get up now" lmao. My husband got one too and that was just as quick. When I tell you that we were there for a total of ten minutes, I mean that we got out of the car at 6:25 and it was 6:35 when we sat back down to leave. Dude was a character, but we like that. If you're looking for someone to do it right and do it fast, this guy is your man lol.

From there, we waited to be called up for the piercing. The wait is a bit long but is ubder 30 minutes. While waiting, I looked around and notice the shop is very clean and well organized.

The piercing went well and thwy were so attentive and will definitely come back for future piercings ans def would recommend them.

I wanted a fine line design with some ornamental touches and I'm so happy with my result. The studio is very welcoming, clean and comfortable.

We ended up going bigger day of and seeing the piece on my body with a stencil was super helpful in getting it right. I really appreciated Arie's calm demeanor & attention to detail!
