I came in for downsizing my two piercings after about 2 months since the initial piercing. I'm…read morehappy to report the appointment went smoothly and apparently everything is healing really well, which of course allowed for the downsizing to happen. Kat did the downsizing procedure this time and she was just as cool to work with as the first time I saw her. Kat's great because she makes you feel so comfortable and she really takes her time to explain what she's doing every step of the way. Switching out the helix post was nice and easy, the flat was a little more tender and a tiny bit painful (it got bumped a few more times during healing so far compared to the helix due to its location), but it calmed down after about 20 minutes, so it was not a big deal at all. Kat also told me despite the bumps/snags the flat experienced, the piercing was still lying perpendicular the way it was initially pierced, which is good news. Downsizing costs $15 per post and $10 for the service + tax. You get to keep your old posts too. Best of all, just like last time, they sterilize everything. It's now been a couple of days since downsizing and everything feels and looks great! Looking forward to these piercings healing up nicely, I can't wait! I still highly recommend JuL Head Piercing, they're great!

Jul Head reminds me of Maria Tash but a distant grunge chic cousin who likes a pop of color and…read morecrazy geometric designs. They do piercings here. Walk-in and appointments available. Apparently no navel or nipple piercing here per their website. Jul is a more luxury shop due to the many unique designs and offerings. A lot of offerings from BVLA. That being said-- you get what you pay for. The items are mostly some sort of 14k gold or higher. I'm not sure if they have stainless steel as an option. That being said, they have gorgeous pieces that you probably won't find elsewhere. I went to a piercing shop on Melrose on the West side and their offerings can't even compare to the pieces at Jul. So if you're willing to spend 100-700 bucks for some fine jewelry this is definitely the place. I saw a gold Chinese dragon. Definitely would look cute as a flat. Again-- pieces you can't find elsewhere. I had a thread less piece that got stuck. I wanted to switch to a non-thread less piercing for my flat. They were able to get it off easily and sized me for a new earring easily. Parking in the garage on the street next to Starbucks is the easiest spot I'd recommend.

Jewels helped replace it with a flat back stud, and the whole experience was amazing. The studio is extremely clean, welcoming, and professional. I also received so much helpful information about proper nose piercing aftercare that I didn't get before. Everything was explained clearly, which made the process feel comfortable and reassuring. Now there's no more needle sticking out through my nose, and the flat back already feels so much better. Really looking forward to the bump going away and the piercing healing properly. Highly recommend Golden Age Body Piercing for anyone needing jewelry changes or piercings done right.

I've followed Angie on Instagram for years and always admired her style, but I only recently…read moredecided to pull the trigger on a half-sleeve I'd been planning for a long time. I wanted a tiger paired with specific florals (forget-me-nots, honeysuckle, and narcissus paperwhites) all kept above the elbow. Angie brought my vision to life more beautifully than I could have imagined. The process at Baron Art was seamless. After submitting a consultation form, I heard back within 1-2 days and coordinated everything with Cat (Angie's assistant) via email. Cat was wonderful, detailed, and quick to reply. On the day of my appointment, I received digital aftercare instructions after I checked in. Before starting, Angie was incredibly patient. She adjusted the tiger's scale on her iPad to match my arm and printed several stencils to ensure the size and placement was just right. She then freehanded the florals, precisely incorporating the negative space I requested to keep the design from feeling too heavy. Angie is incredibly talented and has a light touch. Even the pain in the inner bicep area was manageable. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the 4 hour session, and the result was perfect. This piece means so much to me and is very close to my heart, as it's a memorial for my mom who passed away recently. The forget-me-nots were her favorite flowers, and the narcissus paperwhites and honeysuckle are our birth flowers. The tiger was the first stuffed animal that my parents bought for me when we first immigrated to the US. It was my "guardian" throughout my childhood. Angie, thank you very much for your kindness and for creating such a meaningful, beautiful piece. This was the first of two sessions, and I already love it so much--I can't wait to see how it turns out! Some notes: - Snacks: I brought along Gatorade and was sipping on it before and during my session. I ate some candy and had a protein bar during the breaks too. It helped so much to keep my blood sugar up. - Vibe: So relaxing! The studio was spacious, and they were playing a throwback playlist from like the 2010s lol. I was vibing out and didn't even use the earbuds I brought! Everyone was so friendly too! Throughout the session, I noticed a couple artists stopped by to admire Angie's work as she was doing the tiger :) - Parking: parking in this location wasn't actually too bad. There's a structure about a 5 min walk away from the studio down the street. Just turn right into the little street where the Arrow Lodge Brewing is at. Go in a little bit, and it's on the left hand side. If you reach S Santa Fe Ave, you've gone too far!

A very pleasant and fun experience.

We paid 100 dollars each just for hers to come out faded which doesn't seem like 100 dollars worth of work in our opinion. Everyone was pretty close together not much privacy and it seemed like she didn't really know how to do the placement. While doing mine she nearly did the same thing if I didn't speak up about it. With my second cousin her line work was fine but it just came out all slanted, and they kept saying not to pull her lip as much but if she didn't it would've ended up on the edge just like the "$$$" one.

The actual piercing process was not bad, just the language barrier was difficult to navigate:( and i was not given adequate instruction or information. i'm sure the artists are great at tattoos, just would not come here for piercings.

When I was there, I personally did not see any visible sanitizing process. I saw the piercer remove the jewelry directly from the bag, and from my viewpoint, it did not appear that it was rinsed or sanitized in any way before being used If the business is certain that their sanitizing procedures were followed and are confident that the cameras would show this during both my friends & my jewelry change, we request that they share the footage with us. If the video clearly demonstrates that we are more than happy to take down or update our reviews.

I was greeted by the nice lady in the front who helped us pick a nose ring. My review is mainly for the piercer, when I sat in the chair, he didn't greet me and I saw him grab the jewelry and rinse it under the faucet for 2 seconds. He never washed his hands and he put gloves on dirty hands. He then proceeded to remove my current jewelry, and never swabbed my piercing hole with anything. He just began placing the new ring which I never saw him sanitize. Through out the whole process not once was anything sanitized. He also seemed off like he was a drug user. My friend had the same experience and also co firmed she never saw him sanitize anything when he was servicing me. NEVER AGAIN, I regret coming here. I hope I don't get infected.
