Went there for a second lobe piercing. The guy said he needed to know if we were planning on a…read morethird piercing in the future (in which case he'd leave room for it). We said no, and that we wanted a more symmetrical look. Despite that, the second piercing was placed ridiculously close to the first. Not only does it look bad but it's impractical. I'm guessing he knew it was bad because he didn't even hand us a mirror to look at it after. For several weeks after I deliberated what to do. Finally called and he offered to have us come back and he'd redo it. I wasn't super comfortable going back so I asked if we could get a partial refund (we paid $110 plus tip for both ears, and the other ear was almost as bad). He said their policy didn't allow refunds. He was actually very nice and apologized for us being unhappy with it. I feel kinda bad leaving a negative review but for other customers' sake I felt compelled to do so.

It took a bit to get an appointment because she's that awesome and yes, that busy. So, plan ahead. Think about your activity and the weather. I was traveling in December and knew I didn't want to focus on new brow care while traveling. Summer wasn't good me for either because ....sun! I arrived on time and Michelle was waiting in the shop. A nice shop she shares with her husband who's also a local tattoo artist. Soon to be in her own new joint though... I've heard. First off is paperwork. It's fast, legal eagle stuff. She takes some time to explain the process. Then it's lie down and left the drawing begin. She drew out a shape she felt matched my face shape etc. She will show you so you can say yay or nay. I said yay. Then it's down to business. First a topical pain cream so you don't feel much. She goes over each brow three times with color. I did not see the tool used but it lays color onto brows, and into the skin. These are my layman's terms! It was pain free for me (except for the plucking part, which I find funny). You can hear skin pulling or scratching as she moves along. I felt very little pain during the process and even later in the day just a little pain was present. The end result was soooo worth the time and investment in myself. I go back soon for my 6 week touch up. People definitely noticed the change and many are asking for her information. Overall fantastic experience. If you are on the fence, pull the trigger you won't be sorry. Using Michelle's photo of my before and my after shots.
