    This was today, 7 years later, when she came back for a second set of piercings.
    Rosalyn M.

    I've been bringing all 3 of my daughters in for an ear piercing since 2018. The experience has always been absolutely excellent from start to finish. Nicholas was incredibly professional, patient, and made sure my girls felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire process. The shop was clean and welcoming, and everything was clearly explained before, during, and after the piercing. They used sterile equipment and followed strict hygiene protocols, which really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciated how gentle and kind Nicholas was. It made what could have been a stressful moment into something special. I highly recommend this shop to any parents considering a safe and professional place for their child's first piercing!

    If you've been researching for a good place with single needle...look no further. Worth the drive! They go over all the care instructions, and make parents feel at ease! Thank you for making my 3month's experience - Calming and Easy

    If you want your baby's ear pierced, I highly recommend this place! Our doctor suggested to find a legit ear piercing shop that uses needles instead of gun, and to avoid going to the mall for shops like Claire's. After my experience at Kathouse Tattto, I totally get why they would suggest those tips! Nicholas did a wonderful job with my 8 month old's piercing. He took his time explaining every steps prior to the actual piercing, and went over the after care instructions (provided us a printed handout as well!). As a parent, I felt so comforted and relieved that he's confident at his job and have years of experience. Of course the baby cried when the needle went in, but that was expected. She recovered pretty quickly afterward though! It's only been a few days but I don't see any more redness or signs of infection. FYI: bring a swaddle. The total cost will also include the earrings so there's no need for you to purchase jewelry for the baby ahead of time.

    Love it !!!!

    Very profesional!!! Extremely nice. Made us feel comfortable. Took my three month old Baby. Everything went perfectly fine. I highly recommend this place.

    We took a chance on getting our baby's ears pierced here and have been so happy we did. Nicolas, the owner, was extremely friendly and responsive from the moment of my first inquiry. I called on the business' one day off and he took my call to give me all the information I needed and got us scheduled for the next day. He is the only one that handles infant piercings and does it with such care - he took his time walking us through the process, what to expect, and care instructions before actually piercing her, which allowed us to focus and feel at ease. After piercing, she didn't have any irritation or swelling which was really great. She did have one earring fall out (happened to be on their closed day) and Nicolas came to the shop just for us to make sure we could get the earring back in before her piercing closed up. Thank you so much for taking such great care of us!

    Ears pierced
    Charissa M.

    We had our 5 month old baby's ears pierced here. Nick was amazing! He gave us very clear instructions from the moment I made the appointment to the moment we left. He made us feel at ease during the entire process. Very experienced and kind. We highly recommend!

    Chest piece

    Wanted a chest piece. After seeing Nicolas work I knew I could trust him. Killer lines and I wanted Japanese, which is one of his specialties. Did a few sits and LOVE it... and he makes sure everything is sterilized and clean. Highly recommend. These two pics are after my last sitting, although, if needed, I get to go back for a few touch ups for free when it's healed.

    Ear piercings
    Vandy L.

    Nicolas, the owner of the shop was amazing! He answered all of my questions and was very patient. He is very knowledgeable. I went in for my ear piercing, got two lobes pierced on both ears. I loved it and it wasn't painful at all. Also the place was extremely clean. Definitely will going back!

    Aracelie R.

    Nicolas did an amazing job piercing my 4 month old ears. He was patient and kept both me and my baby calm. 100% recommend and will definitely be coming back.

    Industrial piercing
    Joy A.

    Nick was awesome and did both my industrial and cartilage piercings. He was very informative, thorough, friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. I highly recommend this spot and will definitely come back.

    My daith piercing
    Kathy B.

    Nicholas did me and my friend's daith piercing. He was quick, sterile, and knowledgeable. It was painless and fast. I like that the price included jewelry. Their standard was surgical grade stainless steel. There street and lot parking. My old industrial was done here and my first tattoo was done here. The prices are very reasonable. That are currently by appointment only so call to set up an appointment.

    Right piercing.
    Nelly B.

    From the moment I sent a request with question Nicolas was very helpful and knowledgeable. Loved his vibe and how he treated us (like if we've known him for a long time). He thoroughly explained the after care process for my daughter's piercings. Nicolas answered every question I had and made me feel comfortable about the services we would receive. I was recommended to him by a friend and I'm so happy I chose to go with him. I am super happy with the results. Also, my daughter did cry but she got over it super quick and her piercing looks amazing!! His shop looked and smelled clean! Thank you Nicolas!!! I will be back soon!

    I was lucky enough to get pierced during their special pride event, June 13, 2026. The event…read moreoverall was very organized, thank you Queens of Needles! You sign up with a QR code, then they call your name when it's your turn. I arrived around 4pm and waited less than 20 minutes. I talked to some of the girls who were waiting to get tattooed and it seemed their wait was also minimal. Jassy (stabbedbyjassy on IG) did three of my piercings. I got a daith, vertical helix, and lobe. I completely trusted her judgement and I'm glad I did. She made the experience fast and painless. Then once I contacted her through IG for some last minute questions, she responded less than two days later. Overall, glad I came here for the event and looking forward to another piercing by Jassy once these heal. Also glad I saved some money by going during this special event, because they quoted me $75 for a helix and $85 for a daith, originally.

    PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING!…read more I am genuinely horrified by my experience today. I deserve compensation for this. This is not what I expected. Madi is a nice girl but please avoid her as an artist. I do not recommend this place. I'm still crying I just didn't have the heart to tell her I didn't like it. Update: I contacted both Madi the artist and the shop directly to request a refund, and so far I have received no response regarding my refund request. It is extremely unprofessional to message me saying what she said. Just because I approved the design does NOT mean it was tattooed the way it should have been. My issue is not design. The fact that the proposed solution is for the same person who did a tattoo I'm unhappy with to simply make more permanent changes to it is honestly unbelievable. A tattoo is not something you can just erase when the work isn't done properly. I trusted this person with my skin, paid for a professional service, and have to consider laser removal. Please do not come to this place they do not hire professionals.

Half way through the first day, we take a break, looking in the mirror it is everything I asked him NOT to do. It's colored in black, blown out, the shading is patchy and rough. And he lost half the stencil during the first part.

    The purpose of this review is to describe my consultation experience with this shop/owner and…read moreexplain why it left me concerned about the communication and professionalism involved here. I'm sharing only what occurred and how I experienced it, without claiming to know anyone's intentions. For the past 4ish maybe 5 years, I've wanted to have work done by the owner of this shop. To get started, I had to complete a text consultation with someone other than the artist, which was new to me maybe I'm just too old school. The conversation initially seemed to be going well. We discussed my ideas, placement, and sizing, and then I was asked whether I wanted color. Since I'm Black and have limited experience with color tattoos, I explained that I was unsure how certain colors would appear on my skin. Shortly after disclosing that I was Black, I received this response: "Hi! I spoke to [the owner]. Unfortunately, this is not a project she's interested in." There was no explanation, constructive feedback, or attempt to suggest another direction. I even asked whether if they could recommend someone else(thinking someone else at the shop might be interested in the opportunity), but no response after that quote above. Considering the complete project would likely have cost more than $15,000 maybe even around 20, I expected a little more effort and professionalism from the consultation process. I had also been extremely flexible. Aside from a portrait, I was willing to give the artist creative freedom to interpret most of my ideas in her own style, as long as the overall concepts remained intact. That's why the immediate dismissal was confusing. Looking back, I also realized that I couldn't find a single tattoo on a Black client featured on the owner's Instagram. I hadn't thought much of that while I was simply admiring the artwork, but after this interaction, it stood out. I can only speak to what happened during my consultation, and I can't claim to know the owner's intentions. However, the timing and sudden shift in the conversation left me feeling deeply uncomfortable and wondering whether my skin tone influenced the decision. If the artist believed the designs wouldn't work or wouldn't work well on my complexion a professional explanation or an alternative suggestion would have gone a long way. Instead, I walked away feeling dismissed and unwelcome. It's disappointing because I remember the dope artist I originally followed saying in an interview, "I don't care if you want your boyfriend or girlfriend's name tattooed on your face , let's get this money!" Aside from the artwork, that open minded, client-focused attitude was a big part of why I wanted her work in the first place. Unfortunately, that wasn't the energy I received. Instead was left feeling sad and disappointed. At this point, "BeMore... Whatever the Artist Wants to Do" might be a more accurate name of the shop.
