    New microphone and headphones tattoo. By Marion.
    Mike A.

    Phenomenal shop. Clean, friendly , and professional. My artist was Marion and he was amazing. He was honest about my initial design and gave some excellent advice to create an amazing new tattoo. I'll be going back many times.

    I have come here many times in the past few years and the staff is friendly and explain in depth your questions. The Studio is immaculate! and very homey to help you relax. Ember is my tattoo artist and her work is absolutely the best she takes the time to make it all exactly what you want, desire and them more! I am now thinking of getting an earring but need more time to think how I want to look. I will not go anywhere else and I have traveled a lot and this is the best place.

    So I've wanted to get my septum pierced for a crazy amount of time but I always thought I didn't have the anatomy for it. Today I learned otherwise when I finally got the guts to just ask. They got me in so fast and the piercer was so nice and helpful. He was very informed and taught me and the person I was with about genital piercings which I thought was very interesting. The septum looks way better than I could have imagined and I'm so happy with it. I loved the inside of this shop because it's not a typically decorated shop. The rooms were huge and and bathrooms both had very distinct and cool themes. We ended up talking to the piercer and the woman at the front desk for so long. Overall great experience!

    We got our 7 year old daughter's ears pierced here by Brad. While it was pricey ($140 total), he was open to all my questions and willing to explain the reasons for cost and the benefits to piercing with a sterilized needle as opposed to a piercing gun. I felt Brad was extremely knowledgeable and he was great with my daughter and our 5 year old son who tagged along. My daughter did cry. She doesn't have much of a pain tolerance and she was scared. I know it did hurt a bit. But we have had ZERO issues with healing. It's been a little over a month, she's been swimming in the ocean and the pool. We've barely touched them except to rinse after swimming and of course they get soaked in the tub when she takes a bath. We've seen no draining, redness or any pain. The earrings are super safe since they did get caught on her hair about a week ago and rather than pull on her ear, the front gem popped out of the post that goes into her ear, just the way it was described to us. We easily slipped it back in. Highly recommend getting piercing done at this location. Just be prepared for questions from little ones since there is some gothic type decor including a nude little cherub boy statue relieving himself. You'll also walk through clients receiving tattoos. My kids were curious, but otherwise unfazed. I would def go again.

    Super awesome septum piercing

    ASK FOR JUSTIN (glenwood location)!! I am super allergic to nickel so I got a titanium gold ring. It was super quick, professional, and I got my appointment the same day I called. They also will repierce if you don't like it for any reason or it falls out or whatever. I will definitely be back (:

    My cousin and I were looking for a place to get a couple of piercings completed. This was no easy task in the midst of a pandemic but Mad Ethel's delivered. The location is prime. Conveniently located in the Raleigh area. The shop is gorgeously set up and exudes the type of professional atmosphere one would hope for when getting their body penetrated with ink or steel. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Our experience with our piercer, Brad, was relaxed, informative, fun, and safe. Brad was extremely courteous, personable, knowledgeable, and professional. He walked us through the entire process, made recommendations based on our health and well being, not the bottom line. His completed work was appreciated by both of us. The area where the work was done was clean and welcoming. The price was fair and the wait time almost non existent. We were both thoroughly satisfied with our experience and highly recommend Mad Ethel's to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing in a relaxed, fun, professional environment. Thanks!

    Had our girls ears pierced today and could not have been happier with the people and cleanliness. Thank you for such a pleasant experience!

    The piercer was too chatty and the prices are ridiculous. $130 for a cartilage and lobe piercing

I'm only on my fourth session and the results are already wild -- like "wait... why is it already this smooth?" wild. She's warm, funny, and makes the whole process feel way less intimidating. She explains everything, checks in constantly, and somehow manages to be both professional and your hype woman at the same time. My skin always feels cared for, never rushed. Plus, she just gets melanin. No guessing, no hesitation -- she knows exactly how to treat darker skin safely and effectively, and it shows in the results. The space is clean, she's gentle, and I actually look forward to my appointments... which says a lot considering it's laser hair removal. Highly recommend her if you want real results and someone who treats you like a person, not a number. **BONUS** she ALWAYS has a great playlist going in the waiting area.

She's a nice lady. She does good work, but I mean to be fair as a big burn. It took two weeks to get healed up. Cost me about $100 for all the first aid supplies and burn cream for the laser tattoo removal and it was pretty intense, Recovery. We did not go back for the second treatment. It was very difficult Recovery.
