    If I could I would give this a 0/5 stars! I had a really bad experience at HTC and I won't be going back. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt off--just very negative and unwelcoming. The woman at the front was extremely rude and insensitive. She spoke to me in a really dismissive way and made me feel uncomfortable the entire time I was checking in. It honestly set the tone for the whole visit. I've included a picture of the employee below so management is aware of who I'm referring to. On top of that, my ear ended up bruised after the piercing, which makes me question how carefully things were done. Overall, the experience felt rushed, unprofessional, and just unpleasant. I would definitely recommend going somewhere else where they treat customers with basic respect.

    10/10 Staff was beyond helpful and very kind and chatty. They walked me through everything and offered suggestions and tips. The jewelry is very high quality. I'll absolutely be coming back!

    I got my tongue pierced here by Josh and I had a wonderful experience, I came back 3 weeks later for a downsize aswell since they had offered a discount for downsized jewelry if I came back. Great shop, clean and well experienced piercers. Only downside is they're more on the expensive side but that's just how it is going into experienced shops. 1000000/10

    0/5 stars if I could for Blake and his apprentice Jojo. Also to the shop for failing to provide me with what I paid for. Mere working the front was kind that was the only positive from going in. I was visiting AZ and decided to go in for a second nostril piercing and spent over $200 on jewelry and the piercing itself. (Right side in the photo) Blake failed to symmetrically pierce my nostril and was unapologetic nor empathetic about the situation. Soon after getting my nostril pierced I had it removed due to the placement being misaligned. I did receive a "Free Repierce" but would not be able to use it since I was visiting and was told I would need to wait a week before being able to have my nostril repierced. With that being said I asked if they could honor the "repierce" coupon and pierce something else since it had already been paid for and I would not be in town to have my nostril repierced. I was denied getting anything else pierced for the coupon. You would think they would make up for this mistake and show some grace. Yet they did not. Worst customer service/ bedside manner from Blake and his apprentice Jojo. Terrible shop. I do not recommend.

    Got my septum pierced here a few years ago and my ear lobes last summer. Both experiences were wonderful. I'm a slow healer and all of the piercers at the shop were helpful with all of my panicked, first timer questions. I've had the same gold septum ring from BVLA since I got it pierced and it still looks as new as it did day 1. There's a reason this shop has been around for decades!

    Conch and third lobe.

    My daughter, her friend and I went today. The biggest draw was the reviews and the jewelry selection. The girl at the counter was very helpful and genuine. We felt very welcome. They took all 3 of us back together with our piercer Aubrilynn was super personable, professional and fast! Barely felt a thing! I did third lobes on both ears and a conch, my daughter did her navel and her friend did a conch. There is a very wide array of jewelry here from titanium and only $30 to 18k gold and gemstones at $270. And everything in between. We loved it because we could pick our own jewelry but I'd go back again to request Aubrilynn as a piercer again. She's amazing!

I had to get my ring resized and a stone set and he made it possible. I could cry! Jimmy was so informative and educated me on what prong would work well with my current ring, yet also addressing my concerns to make sure it was sturdy and fit correctly. He reassured me on the process by explaining to me how he would be setting the prong, which I appreciated! Jimmy is a craftsman in his work (I believe he said over 30 years of experience!) and the quality is there. He asked me to sit and watch my stone setting process to ensure that it's my stone. When we ran into a slight complication due to the size and depth of my stone, he carefully and diligently worked on expanding the prongs and making sure it was snug and fit. Super friendly and communicative! He's a one man-shop with a gal who assists, so make sure to give him grace on the timing of his work because it will be exceptionally done! Before stopping by to drop off my ring, getting the stone set and picking it up - I gave him a call to check in and see the progress. Also, Jimmy's pricing is reasonably fair considering that there isn't many Asian-owned jewelry shops like California/Phuc Loc Tho as competition. I'd even bring cash to tip him on the side because truly he delivered in service! On a side note: preciously before getting my ring redone, I've stopped by Artistic Dragon to get my batteries changed out on watches.
