It's a permanent thing on your body so I would pay more ensure that it's done correctly anyway! The service here was amazing and everyone is incredibly knowledgeable and excited to work with you! I made an appointment here to get my navel re-pierced and chose this place due to their high ratings and reviews on Google. I can say with confidence that the accolades are well deserved! I had the pleasure of working with George to do my piercing. Upon walking into my appointment I was greeted by another employee who checked my ID and walked me through the process while George was getting ready for me. He was so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and welcoming! He warned ahead of time that navel is an anatomy- based piercing so there's a chance I won't be able to get it done after my consultation, in addition to aftercare and resources so that I'm well-armed with everything I need to know to take care of my new piercing. In the last I've had my navel done unprofessionally, and then again professionally about a few years ago so I was hesitant about the scarring. George did my consult and assured me that it was safe for me to get it done again. He walked me through the process and talked through exactly what he was doing for prepping and piercing so I didn't get anxiety in anticipation. My navel looks beautiful and it's healing so nicely!! I felt safe, assured that I was getting it done so professionally, and I love how all the info is displayed on the website. All piercers have IGs if you have follow up questions and they respond so fast! Highly recommend!!

I found tattooist Yeonnie through a friend who came here to get a tattoo of her cats. I really…read moreliked her art and when my friend showed me her versions of windchimes and norigae style tattoo, i was sold. After my first, I've been perusing what would be the best style for my second (I really wanted to get a tattoo dedicated to my cat, Matcha). I instantly fell in love and as fate has it, there was an inspo photo of an omamori with jiji (from kiki's) and cherry blossoms that hit my instagram. Instantly, I knew that this is the style I would like so I messaged Yeonnie and she responded quick. She will do the sketch a day before your appointment (you'll get a cute sketch by midday) and you can request any changes. I absolutely adored the edition of my cartooni-fied cat. Now that I have it on my upper left arm, I am so happy to have a few of the things I personally love forever on my body. Thank you :) I definitely would recommend her. She's quick so the painful moments does not last as long. highly recommend!!

She then started sharing her thoughts on what would look good and what she could do for us. She quickly sketched out our vision, it was better than what we described. I so appreciated her advice for placement, design and sizing. The studio was clean and inviting, it was unlike the typical tattoo studios. It made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Our masks were on the entire process throughout and she followed the CDC guideline to make sure I felt safe. In addition, she explained the process of what she was going to do step by step and the after care. She is honest, patient, kind and easy to talk to, more importantly she is incredibly talented and confident in what she does. I always wanted to know what my first tattoo would be like, I don't want to get something that I would regret it later. I was beyond happy after I saw the results. I love it even more every single day. If you are looking for fine line tattoos, you know how difficult it is to find anyone like her in the area. You will love Winnie's style and her designs, look no further. You won't regret it. I am planning on getting more from her! :) Highly recommended!

There no new, clean modern shop allure to it. So the interior is very dingey and has major signs of wear in need of repairs. Just a "hole in a wall" tattoo/piercing shop that offers affordable piercings. Not sure if I'd go here for tattoos only bc I already have a tattoo home since living in the area. So 5 stars for no other reason but having a seamless experience.

The staff was super professional from the front desk to the actual piercer. Call before hand as this shop can get busy. Make sure if you are taking anyone under 18 years of age to get a piercing that you have the necessary documentation, birth certificate, state issued photo ID for the child and parent. You can call the shop and they will explain everything you need. All in all great experience. We were in and out in about 15 minutes.

Such a great space, great layout with great art on the walls, a warm and welcoming staff. Irv answered all my questions and I put a deposit down and set an appointment for 2 days later. Pricing was discussed and very reasonable. Irv was my artist, he was genuinely kind, and hella creative. He gave me his card and i was able to see samples of his work on Instagram. I gave him a logo design to use, and he printed it in 3 different sizes for me to see how it would look on my arm, and let me know how detailed it would be for each size. I appreciated the attention to detail. His workspace was clean. His set-up, his professionalism on point, as was the other artists. You could tell they enjoyed working there, and had a passion for their art. I felt comfortable asking Irv anything about my current tattoo, his artistic history, music, and the shop. My tattoo came out perfect, and as homage to my friend who had passed away, it brought me joy to know it was done in such a shop with great energy. I got lots of info on aftercare, and even came back the next day so Irv could check if my skin had any reactions to the work, or if the covering needed to be replaced. I'd definitely recommend this shop to anyone who asks, and I'm considering going back again to freshen up an old tattoo.
