    Came in for a consultation for me and ink for my man. The shop is very clean, and staff are friendly/ inviting. We were greeted by the receptionist and then Alex came over to talk to us. He asked questions about what my partner wanted, and I brought up my sleeve idea that I want to get. Alex seemed very knowledgeable and was able to draw things up pretty quickly. He took a basic concept and made it so much better. My boyfriend's tattoo came out great! He loves it. They do have the second skin, which is nice for the healing process. I am planning on making my appointment with Alex or Rudy for my sleeve. Rudy has some pretty amazing looking horror work. Based on the reviews on Yelp; maybe don't come here for piercings? You are safe with getting a tattoo here though.

    He agrees to half a sleeve. The neck piece idea I was gonna trade him a pc for a the neck piece

    PICTURES BELOW ARE THE SCREENSHOT! I'm green Rudy is grey . First of all he has a post up on offer up and was looking for a laptop to trade for his work so I happened to had one laying around I never said anything about having financial issues now your making things up , 2nd of all he agreed to a half a sleeve worked on it and did not complete it why agree start on it and now he wants to charge me to finish it all it needed was the shading left, also if he felt that way why not let me know instead of ignoring me for months horrible customer service instead he got his feelings mixed up and felt a way I never knew and to top it off I told Rudy I would just pay for the tattoo and take the laptop back but he insisted it was fine I asked him more then once actually. I have all the screenshots of him agreeing and me telling Rudy I can just pay him for the tattoo and take the laptop back . So David is also lying by saying I have no money and that I asked Rudy to work with me because of my financial situation I never once asked him that. SMH shows what kind of owner runs this shop and people they are.

    Got my old Quetzal tattoo redone by Ben Laredo here. He did an awesome job!. You can't even see the old tattoo and made the new one look majestic! I love it and recommend Ben. Great art work!

    I had the BEST experience here yesterday (2/17) as a walk-in! From the very first phone call,…read moreeveryone was so kind, helpful, and informative. When I arrived, I immediately noticed how clean and beautifully maintained the studio was -- such a good first impression! Lacy at the front desk was so patient and sweet. She took her time going over pricing and all the jewelry options I was considering and never made me feel rushed. I was pretty nervous, and I had my husband and two boys with me -- the staff was so warm and welcoming to my kids, which meant so much to me. SYDNEY WAS AMAZING!!! She did my conch piercing and stretched one of my old industrial piercings, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was professional, thorough, calming, and so incredibly kind. I told her how nervous I was, and she made me feel completely at ease. She walked me through every single step, which helped so much. My conch piercing was super quick and way less painful than I expected -- maybe a 5/10 at the peak, and then it faded fast. Honestly, right after it felt like 0/10 pain! Stretching my old piercing was a little more "spicy" but still totally manageable. Sydney's technique was top tier. Pricing is slightly on the higher side, but absolutely worth it for the quality, professionalism, and overall experience. I'm so thankful I found this place -- I officially have my new go-to local piercing studio! Highly, highly recommend!!!

This is not something I was told when I made the appointment or when they called me to confirm. Because of this I had to pay $35 cancellation fee. Make sure you ask all the questions before you make an appointment. The cost of the piercing is separate from the cost of the jewelry. So look at paying close to $150 depending on the kind of jewelry you buy. Outside of this issue the girls seemed nice.

    First off my review is regarding the jewelry and the poor quality itself. My piercing itself was…read morefine and nothing wrong with the piercer. I got a warranty for both of my earrings. Within 3 months one of the pair of earrings broke. I got the replacement last week and without even wearing it one single time one earring broke already just seems fishy that the same model of earring broke within 6 days when I refused to pay an additional $15 for a second warranty. I've never had earrings break this easily ever. I will say they did offer to let me buy another warranty to replace it and extend it to another year but I don't think that it's fair. ( if I had the earrings longer and worn them I would understand). Just fyi you're better off buying earrings somewhere else.

I worked with Jalen H. and she was fun and helpful! I was a bit scared of the pain as it had been almost 15 years since I got any piercings. She answered my questions and helped me feel more comfortable. I chose a pair of gold earrings studs and an extra pair for later that I was surprised was 50% off. Ask about their BOGO promotion if you visit. For about $95 I got 2 pairs of earrings and 2 piercings. Not bad. The pain was also not bad at all. I had a hard time choosing where I wanted one of the piercings located on my cartilage and Jalen help choose the perfect spot. It turned out really cute and Jalen was genuinely happy to see how much I enjoyed my new piercings. Thank you for a good experience!

    The highlights of this shop are the variety and how clean it is but other than that it was an…read moreexperience I will never forget. Saturday the Fourteenth of February after Six O'clock to be exact. I came in with a family member looking for something but what we found was a bad attitude and really bad customer service. I'm not one to write one star reviews but this is one I can't let go. The employee or should I say the girl running the shop looked really unhappy when we walked in and that we just ruined her night. She did get off her chair to go through the motions of helping us but sat back down looking miserable. I did try to joke with her but she wasn't having it. We couldn't find what we were looking for and we were leaving and that's when she became helpful. Yeah, because we were leaving, not cool. So to the manager or supervisor, if you think I'm making this up? Look at the cameras inside the shop. Zoom in on her demeanor and her body language. Again I'm not one for giving one star reviews but as you know when you mess with a family member and you're there to witness it? There's no way you can let it go. I like the location in Claremont because of how friendly and helpful they are and I think this shop Needs that really bad. A final note, I don't like working weekends either but I do and that's part of my job that was in the app. And that's my take on this experience, Peace

    I haven't had piercings done in over a decade, and ever since Claire's destroyed my lobes as a…read morechild I was determined to get it done right this time! Laughing Buddha was definitely the right choice for me. You can tell that they take pride in being a well-maintained and hygienic practice. It's brightly lit, spacious, and clean inside and they take the time to explain how they extensively sterilize their equipment. The prices were very fair. I paid $150 for 3 ear piercings. Cartilage and lobe piercings are roughly the same price, about $30 not including jewelry. Picking out jewelry wasn't my favorite part. The costs are not displayed so if you're trying to stick to a budget you have to ask for prices repeatedly. I felt a little pressured to just say yes when one sounded cheaper. Prices also don't include the backings which were about $10. I learned afterwards that you actually need to buy multiple backings for getting the piercings resized as they heal. I would have liked to know that upfront. The procedures themselves went well. They're done in doctors office looking exam rooms. Unfortunately you have to go in yourself so if you're nervous that might be something to consider. It might be industry standard, I don't know, but I wasn't expecting to go in myself so it was a bit nerve wracking. They let in someone to observe so there's definitely room for a guest to come in. My piercer, Airick, was a really friendly and experienced guy. They do take walk ins but I really don't recommend it. They seem pretty booked so definitely make an appointment or at least call ahead and see what times are available that day. Even with an appointment, it took a little longer than I expected to be serviced.

I was nervous from the start but some other girls in the lobby area were also waiting and one of them told me the nipples don't hurt too bad and I took good faith in her. From there, I went to the back and the guy I believe is Jesse took great care of me. He gave me the whole rundown on how I'm supposed to take care of them. The sea salt soaks and that I have to be careful when cleaning them. He also asked me about sizes and how noticeable I wanted them. The forcepts he used came from a sterilized pouch and so did the jewelry. Once he got me set, he marked me and I laid back on the chair and from there he was very gentle and quick while doing it. He talked to me while he was doing it so I was calmer than I thought I would be. The first one hurt but the second definitely hurt more. However he also explained that when I am healing up that for later I can go back and see the jewelry he has and he will replace it for me and take care of me and charge me the price of the jewelry. He is a very great piercer and I am glad I trusted him with my nipples. He charged $55 for both nipples. I'm on day two of having these piercings and after sleeping I feel totally fine. A little discomfort after the sea salt soak, but honestly feel normal. I was expecting to feel sore but the way he pierced me was great. TLDR; Jesse is a top tier piercer, he gave me great nipple piercings and talked me through it. Great prices and gives you the whole rundown for aftercare. Nipple Piercings are $55. He only uses sterilized jewelry. 10/10 will definitely come again.

I'm going to insert a picture of my chest tattoo, and you guys can decide if you would like to come here. 0/10 don't recommend. He did only the left side of my chest and the middle, not even my traps or anything. Wanted like 2k for one side of the chest which would've been reasonable had he had been somewhat decent of a tattoo artist. I wish I never went here
