Moving to a new city and finding a great (and reputable) piercing studio is a tricky one. You want…read moreto befriend a piercer for all your sparkling needs and find a front of house to help in curations, custom orders and more. After leaving a studio who did all that and more for me on the east coast, mid-ear project, I was on the hunt. GoodLife is appointment only, with reputable piercers, jewelry options and a cleanliness that reminds you of a fancy (but cool) drs office. NGL my first visit, I was welcomed by a tough FOH. I'd be lying if it wasn't the first time I've encountered a person who treated someone who is not as alt presenting differently. BUT my knowledge of jewelry and brands, placements and piercing upkeep is thorough and the reason I bothered driving 45 mins to this studio. Upon making my appointment I picked out Kelly, who JUST so happened to work that weekend. They were AHMAZING, sweet, professional, and made you feel good. And for me, it was good enough to keep coming back. They introduced me to Ezra, the studio manager, for a custom order placement and that interaction continued to make up for the initial not so great check in. I've been back 2 more times since and have had great service each time. I've been introduced to Marissa as well and look forward to having a second piercer to work with on my ears. Folks know but its like tattoo artists, you just end up with your go-tos. They have great jewelry options and will work with you to order outside of any of the brands in their cases, custom or otherwise. Go get poked and sparkly!

I walked out of another local business after a rather disappointing interaction and called here on a whim, not knowing what to expect. They require appointments these days, like so many other businesses, so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get one the same day - I did!! I was blown away by the level of customer service that David provided - by phone, email, text and finally in person. I work in the customer service industry and I will admit I have rather lofty standards, so that is a MAJOR compliment from me. My piercer was Steven, and I was immediately put at ease by his charismatic personality and I found it very easy to convey the ideas I had. I am thrilled with the end result and I will definitely be returning; and referring friends to Modern Ritual.
