Honestly the worst piercing experience I've ever had!! Got two lobe piercings and a mid helix, all three are crooked and angled differently. He was also super rough and I bled for forever while sitting there. My friend wanted a helix and he said he wouldn't do one based on the shape of her ear (which is fine) but would not give her her money back?? Would not recommend Casey. Would not EVER go here for a piercing. read more

Got my lower belly piercing here, piercer was very kind and thorough, walked me through the whole process of cleaning and taking care of my piercing, how to avoid infections, etc. The healing process went great and i love my piercing ! Since there are no belly piercing reviews on here I thought i'd add mine! :)) ( the review glitched and spammed the picture so im reposting ) read more

Would not recommend getting piercings here. Probably not tattoo either, but didn't even get the chance to find. My wife, my mom, and sister in law went to get some tattoos and piercings. My mom wanted an impromptu tattoo and wife and sister were just wanting a piercing. Guy at front desk (so unworthy of my brain power that I can't even remember his name) rolled his eyes when my mom didn't know what she wanted, so they decided not to get tattoos and instead just piercings. Bad idea. For multiple weeks all 3 have been talking about how their ears hurt more than usual after piercings. All of them have over 15 total. Well they decided to go to get more piercings this evening at a different shop (Ink Sirens in Rowlett. Shoutout that place). The piercer at ink sirens was astounded by each of these girls piercings. My wife's ear was pierced with a nipple barbell. My moms was piercers incorrectly and infected. Again not her first rodeo, but first time this has happened. And SIL's piercing was just through the top layer of cartilage, and according the the piercer at ink sirens would get pushed out soon. They now have to get each of their respective piercings redone. I imagine the normal locale of Princeton and its "esteemed community" are okay with this shit craftsmenship, but I'm not and I imagine there are plenty of others who are not. I would not recommend this place to a soul. read more

These are 2/4 tattoos i've gotten done by the owner. i honestly can't remember the name of artist cause of my poor memory, but overall my experience was great from beginning to end. i came in as a walk in back in 2021 for a piercing and the piercer was also amazing. he was very educational about everything he was doing and made sure i was comfortable and i understood everything he was doing. i almost passed out after the piercing and he immediately helped me lay down and got me everything i needed to get back on my feet. I honestly cannot remember if i came back in for a tattoo as a walk in or as an appointment cause ive done a mix of both, but everytime ive gone it's been a great experience. i definitely have pieces i don't like but not a single piece i have had done here that i regret. I highly recommend this place to anyone. my piercings also healed great. i haven't been back since i moved back to phoenix in 2022, but i will get more pieces whenever im out there read more

I looked for years for an artist and after many recommendations for Reno to do my next tattoo, I made the appointment, I have now seen him for at least 9 and will go no where else. Casey, the piercer, has done all my piercings too, he is awesome. These guys are the best, color is holding in all pieces, and I have recommended them to many people. Never an issue. Just remember to schedule, theybare worth the wait. read more

READ BEFORE GETTING PIERCED HERE!!! I've been pierced on two separate occasions by Casey and both times he was quite sexual and made me feel uncomfortable. Both times I had issues with crooked/off angle piercings. First were my conchs, he admittedly was nicer, but still made a lot of questionable jokes and I left feeling unsure about the experience. He knew, before I even said anything, that he had pierced them at different angles because he mentioned it and said he'll correct any unsatisfactory piercing for free. But I'd have to take it out and wait 3-6 months for it to heal for that to happen and that's a bit frustrating when you go in expecting to leave with a new piercing to show off. Not to take out and wait more time. You expect to go in to a place with "18+ years of experience piercing" and getting it right the first try. But I could forgive that because even the best aren't perfect and make mistakes here and there. That's why I went back to get my nipples and jacal done. I was also planning on getting 6 more piercings all by him in the next couple of months. Not anymore. The other time I went in to ask his opinion on how to plan it out, he told me the prices went up, which is totally understandable and gave me a quote of $120 since I was getting 3 all at once. I went back 2 weeks later and he charged me $140. He marked me and never once let me see the markings to see if I liked them. I was nervous and tried to make small talk and asked his favorite piercings to do and he said nipples because "it's a great excuse to see some boobs" as my boobs were in his face. I felt so uncomfortable and uneasy and just laughed it off. It didn't seem professional AT ALL to say, at least not when you're doing it to someone. He also lifted his shirt to show me his nipple piercings to show how he also had the horseshoe ones when I wanted the bars. Once I got up to check them, I IMMEDIATELY noticed how my right nipple and naval were crooked. I was already so uncomfortable and upset at myself for not saying anything and I just wanted to leave so I said I loved them and left. I also asked for signs to look out for since I knew a bit about rejection with naval piercings and wanted to hear what he had to say and he said "nothing, just some discharge will come out and that's normal". I went home and ordered barbels because I was pretty sure it was crooked and I changed them out (which I know you shouldn't do) and as I suspected, my right was noticeably crooked compared to left. It's been 3 weeks and I have become more and more insecure about it. I tried calling the shop to ask about what he recommended I do and Reno answered. I asked to speak to Casey and Reno said he just stepped out. When I mentioned that it was a piercing complication, he magically came back in and passed the phone. I overheard Reno say to Casey, "they actually have to talk to you this time". I hated that, Casey always said to call and how it wasn't a bother and he was there to answer questions and none were dumb, yet I heard that. Casey explained the discharge and was nice about that but when I mentioned the crookedness, he said that was purposeful and it looks weird when they're straight? Because the body isn't straight...? But the left one was perfectly straight. Even if that was the case with them being purposely at an angle, (one he never asked me if that's what I wanted!!) they were at different angles and not even the same with each other! He eventually said if it bothered me that much then I can take it out and come back in 6 months. I won't be. I didn't even start to mention the naval because obviously this is a place I made a mistake with going to in the first place. And it wasn't the first time Reno wouldn't pass the phone. The night before getting them, I called to ask what Casey recommended I wear for my nipples piercings (like shirt wise) and Reno said he was piercing someone and when I mentioned I'd call back, he just asked what my question was and I explained and he just dismissed me and said whatever shirt I have will be fine. I now doubt Casey was with a customer. I do not like how I had a real concern and was nervous and they dismissed a customer. I have been trying to put tissue in my naval to keep the piercing straight, which seemed to work, but the piercing was also done quite shallow. Due to these concerns, I went to another place with reputable piercers and had a wonderful woman check it out and she immediately saw and agreed and told me to remove them. She said the piercing was BARELY in my naval and had signs of rejection and it was so shallow. The nipple was crooked. I'm getting them re-pierced by someone who knows what they're doing and cares about their customers satisfaction. I want to be able to say I like the placement before I get it done, and not for a single one of the nipples or naval did he do that. read more

ABSOLUTE worst service I have ever experienced in my life, the man at the front was so rude and SO unwelcoming. Have never been so uncomfortable in a tattoo shop that we left with out getting anything rude. SO unprofessional, I would not waste any time even going to try to have ANYTHING done there. Wish I could give negative stars. read more

Reno is an amazing artist. I've come to him for two of my four tattoos, and I plan to come to him for my future pieces as well. Fair prices and extremely hygienic shop. You can pretty much send him any idea, and he'll hit the ground running with it. He's got a knack for sketching out tattoos the same way I see them in my mind. Highly recommend. read more
