TLDR: Got a navel done here - pricy but 100% worth it to be done by a very skilled and experienced…read morepiercer. 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!!

As a Yelp Elite who takes their body art very seriously, I can confidently say that Deja is in a…read moreleague of her own. I've trusted her with over FIVE of my piercings... nose and 4 placements on my ears as a curation from Deja herself. and at this point, I wouldn't even consider going to anyone else. Her precision is unmatched, her bedside manner is calming (which matters when you're nervous!), and her attention to hygiene and placement is exactly what you want when you're putting permanent trust in someone's hands. Every appointment feels intentional she takes the time to explain placement, anatomy, healing expectations, and aftercare so thoroughly that you leave feeling confident, not confused. And let's talk about the results... every single piercing she's done for me healed beautifully and looks perfectly balanced with my features. That kind of eye for detail is rare. Beyond her technical skill, her energy is what keeps clients loyal. She's warm, professional, and genuinely cares about how your piercing fits you, not just what's trendy. That level of personalization is why her work stands out and why I'll always go back. If you're even thinking about getting pierced, stop searching. Book with Deja. Period. You won't just get a piercing...you'll get an expert experience, flawless placement, and a piercer you'll want to keep for life. Curated ears are a vibe. Nobody else will have what you have in a world where everybody gets their piercings done.

Because of the group size, it took a while to find a tattoo artist we all agreed on. When we came across Will's Instagram, we were sold! When I came for the quote, he was very understanding and helped me decided on the best design for the entire group. He made the experience a lot easier for me and the group. I'd also like to mention the space where the shop is located and the theme of Buddha all around. It was so delicate and beautiful, I barely felt I was in a tattoo shop. Lastly, we had two people who were being tattooed for the first time and he was understanding of how they felt and took time to work on them. Will definitely come back!

I had a great experience getting inked by Naty! It started with a concept and a couple of…read morereference images, and she took it from there, creating this custom design for my partner and I. She shared her thinking with us as she showed us the design, and it was cool to see all of the other reference images she pulled to come up with the design. Naty invited feedback, and patiently repositioned the stencil for both of us in order to get it just right. I felt like she gave us exactly what we asked for. Natalia's space was clean, the background music was chill, she clearly cared about sanitization, and she seemed to work at a good pace. She also cut a large piece of second skin to keep the fresh tattoo safe. Really, I've got nothing but good things to say about my experience, and I can't wait for my next one!

Upon arriving at the shop, my friend and I arrived 30 mins earlier and Young happened to be right behind us. We all entered the shop and keep in mind, it has been almost 3 months since anyone was there. Before tattooing me, she wiped and disinfected the whole tattoo area down. She's very hygienic. She covers the tattoo bed with a plastic cover and changes it for each client (I witnessed this at the Tattoo Expo as well). Young was very patient and offered me different suggestions on tattoo placement. I like my tattoos hidden but in very sexy, feminine locations. Young's work is very neat and she was so quick! Once she started my tattoo, it only took about 11 mins (yes, I timed it.) lol. Thanks again for your amazing work! I look forward to seeing you again!
