Went with a friend for piercings and had a wonderful time. The area was kept very hygienic and the…read morestaff all seemed very passionate and welcoming. The piercer was gentle and helped with easing nerves and gave clear instructions for aftercare as well. The price was a little steep but the jewelry is all high quality to match the price. There were many cute designs and a large variety of styles and different price points to choose from.

my friend and i wanted same day piercings, but it's hard to find in northampton. we booked an…read moreappointment for the next day with Lindsay. they got their ears pierced, and i wanted my navel [redone after 9 years]. landon helped us with setting our appointment and picking our jewelry. for the navel, they have you choose your top pick for jewelry and a backup 2nd style in case your anatomy doesn't work with the jewelry you picked. i was sure which jewelry i wanted, and because i had my navel done before, i was confident that i'd get my first pick. when it comes time to get my piercing, lindsay was very thorough when it came to explaining everything and making markings for placement. unfortunately she said my anatomy wouldn't work with my first pick for jewelry, meaning i had to spend $100+ on a piece i wasn't thrilled about if i wanted to move forward. i almost cancelled, but she said she could potentially place it in a way so that when it healed (in a year), i would be able to use the jewelry i wanted. i've had over 16 piercings in the past, but i removed most of them, so it had been about 10 years since i had any piercing. i'm pretty experienced though. i picked the flower floating navel jewelry and it looked better than i anticipated. i did end up having issues with the disc which caused swelling, discharge and bleeding. my friend loved their ears, and it was very quick minus the markings. i do like that she took her time making sure the markings were in the perfect spot. the place is cute, filled with quality jewelry and decorated with crystals, snacks while you wait. update after 3 months: i had issues healing with the disc, and when i wanted a piercer to check it out at their sister store, they wanted a deposit to look at it. i had a lot of pain and was very nervous if it was infected. i was somewhat surprised they wouldn't even let you walk in without paying, but not so much as they wouldn't take a same day appointment and had a similar attitude. i had to go elsewhere where they looked at it (for free!) and gave me my options, i paid for the ball they switched out the disc for, and surely tipped due to great service. it did feel like they didn't care for our business initially, and they look at you a certain way if you look like you don't have any experience with body mods. i know that is typical for many piercing places which is why i gave them the benefit of 3 stars and not less.

Mackenzie worked with me to get my designs just right, explained every step of the way, and checked in regularly to see how I was doing. I really appreciate how she made 1000% sure I was happy with the design and placement. I chose to work with Mackenzie because of her artistry and skill with thin, tiny lines. Especially if you are looking for micro work - fine lines and/or tiny images - I highly recommend Mackenzie.

I've been to quite a few piercing and tattoo shops but I real appreciated my experience with the…read morepiercer here, Gina. She made me feel really comfortable the whole time and I would not hesitate to return to her. This day, I had my rook pierced (ear cartilage) and it was so quick and easy. I also requested that she change and replace the jewelry in my tragus (another ear piercing). Once she called me in, I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. She is the master piercer here and you could tell she knew what she was doing. The major difference between her and other places, is she will use beautiful starter jewelry. The curved bar she put in my newly pierced rook was a double ended prong gem and I was so excited and I am so pleased. Most places will use a standard barbell and you have to settle with that until it's healed and you can return to have it changed. Since she pierced with this, I am set for years. She also put a beautiful gem in my tragus. I think this is the best place to get pierced in Albany.

He makes excuses "oh well not every piercing will look even" um? If you're a pro? SHOW IT. No matter WHO your customer is. The lack of consideration for another's body isn't cool. Weird malicious vibes honestly. It's white owned and it feels as if there's this weird energy more about black people and grown women who seem a certain way. Most of the woman who had negative experiences in reviews were GORGEOUS. The piercings wont be in deep enough and they l're more likely to reject too, wasting your damn money.
