Body piercings are a diverse and ancient practice, with origins dating back thousands of years in…read morevarious cultures. Ear piercings are among the oldest, with evidence found on mummified remains. While they are often seen as a form of self-expression, they have also served various purposes throughout history, including ritualistic, cultural, and even symbolic roles. I came here on May 17th to get a hidden helix piercing to match my lil sis on the OCA team, Wendi K. (Go add her! She's Seattle's sweetheart). That and I've been seeing them on Instagram and they look cool. Megan was my piercer and everything went well. I chose a fun dangly 14k gold piece for my piercing as I know from a previous cartilage piercing that I need a more hypoallergenic metal. And while my ear anatomy doesn't quite make the piercing fully hidden, I'm happy with it. I'm glad to have had the consultation with Megan prior so I knew what I was getting myself into. Do yourself a favor and get pierced by Megan (walk-ins are allowed for piercings). Buy some saline solution here, tip generously, and walk away being a more decorated and shiny version of yourself.

My update isn't adding much other than I still highly recommend this shop. James Withee the owner, is very good at what he does. If you're lucky enough to book with him, I certainly say from getting tattooed by him that James will do the absolute best he can to give you a tattoo you can be happy with.

I've been coming to HTC (particularly the Tempe location) for years. I've had my lower lip pierced…read moretwice, my nostril 3(ish) times, my septum, and various ear piercings. I have never once had a bad experience. The piercers here are professional and great to interact with, the front desk peeps are amazing, and the shop is spotless. When I last came in it was with my sister to get her nose repierced and I wanted to see if my septum was still open. Our piercer was phenomenal. Luckily my septum was still open and he just had to put the hoop in - within about a week it felt normal again. My sister had a rougher time and almost passed out but the piercer was so nice. He was patient and talked her through it, gave her time to recover and caprisuns. We were both really well taken care of. I will mention that they require you to use their jewelry at first, which can be pricey. But the pieces are really solid quality and there is definitely a range in price. They do take walk ins and appointments both, which is pretty rad.

Have heard some other horror stories from smaller independent artists that this group is trying to make tattooing more exclusive. Maybe right, but not their place to decide who or why. Huge napoleon complex imo. Avoid this place if you don't want premadonnas

I've wanted a 3rd hole in my ears for some time, so it felt serendipitous that she was there! Dacie could do all different kinds of piercings and had a ton of different jewelry options. I went with simple gold diamond studs with a flat back. Dacie was amazing- she explained the process, I watched as she sanitized everything and pulled out fresh needles to do the piercings. She even had a ruler out to measure the spacing between holes and triple checked everything by was where I wanted it to be. She talking me through everything she was doing and voila, was done super quick. She sent me home with a saline solution to keep them clean and made sure all of my questions were answered before letting me off of the table. I felt super comfortable throughout, and love my new little bling!
