    I received my helix hoop from him and am so thrilled with my piercing! Kivaka was incredibly patient, kind, and professional when it came to making the perfect incision. Will definitely choose this guy again for another piece. Thank you Kivaka!

    Conch piercing. Love it!!!!

    My daughter has had three piercings here and I have had two. He fixed a botched helix for me. And recommended a conch piercing over what I originally wanted. I am so glad he did! It looks so amazing. My daughter's three piercings are on point. He has an amazing eye for piercing location, cleanliness, and personal touch. You will not find someone better in this area to complete a piercing. He is on time and highly professional. No one better.

    I went to him for the first time about a month ago for a nose piercing and just recently went back for a Tragus, rook and a conch!

    I was recommended to UpRise Tattoos, and specifically Rylie, by a friend when I told her I wanted…read moreto get more piercings. I've been to Claire's as a child, and one other tattoo shop that I wasn't impressed with for all of my piercings. I had no idea what an APP certified piercer was until I looked into it, and now I want to scream from the roof tops the importance of going to a piercer with these credentials. It makes a world of a difference. I don't want to talk poorly about the last shop I was at since their proceeds go to charity, but compared to the steps taken and sanitation at UpRise, it's like night and day. UpRise is located in a strip mall, from the outside it looks pretty tiny but it's actually quite large inside. The first thing I noticed was how clean and bright everything was. I know most people think of tattoo shops as being dark and dingy, but this was the exact opposite. They have a beautiful selection of high quality jewelry in a display case up front for you to look at before and during your appointment time if you're undecided. I came in knowing what I wanted for the most part placement and jewelry-wise, but Rylie was still extremely patient and helpful during the process. They never tried to upsell or push certain pieces of jewelry on me, and Rylie offered great insight as to what would look the best for my curation. Sterilization is taken very seriously here which I appreciate-- the longest part of my appointment was probably waiting for my new jewelry to be sterilized but I'm not complaining. Rylie is extremely professional, but is extremely personable and sweet, we yapped the entire time we were together. I only added to my lobes this trip so the pain was minimum, but I'd trust Rylie with my entire being to do a more 'painful' piercing in the future. I walked out with 4 new lobe piercings my first trip, then 1 more 4 weeks after when I got my posts shortened, as well as all new jewelry for each piercing I have (including the old piercings). Everything was bought from UpRise except for the charms on the hoop earrings. I am extremely happy with the turnout, I will definitely be back to UpRise in the future! Be sure to check them out and ask for Rylie! (Piercing context - my pre existing piercings are my first and second lobe, and both helix piercings. The rest were done beautifully by Rylie)

    I have gone to this tattoo parlor to get my piercings removed and add a new piercing now twice…read more Each time their customer service is amazing and they are on time. Brent and Rylie both did a great job - I would highly recommend for any piercing needs!

    The ladies here were very thoughtful in regards to piercing my daughters ears. Absolutely recommend.read more

    Went to get my daughter's ears pierced. She is 5 and they are terrific with kids. I went to check…read moreit out and ask about how they pierce. I made sure to bring her when there were two staff people so her ears would be pierced simultaneously. They sterilized their hands and one person sterilized her ears and they used a purple marker to mark where they would pierce. They checked it asked me to check and adjusted until it was just right. I filled out forms while she picked out earrings. Then they gave her a teddy to hold then quickly sterilized the equipment, cleaned their hands again, put on a pair of new sterile gloves each then pierced both ears at the same time. The positioning was perfect and it only hurt for a moment. She cried but was all smiles when she saw her earrings in the mirror. They then explained how to care for her ears and sent us home with detailed care instructions and non-stinging ear care solution. Great experience and the two ladies who pierced her ears did a great job making this a good experience for my daughter and her nervous mom. No appointment is needed but if it is a child and you want both ears done at the same time make sure you go when they have more than one person working in the store, Cost depends on the price of the earrings chosen, The piercing, and after care solution is included in the price.
