Super cool people for piercing, just don't get anything advanced…read more tldr: the male piercer that works wednesday and thursday has an ego and used incorrect jewelry several times, eventually nearly causing me to have to go to the ER for a nesting/near embedded cheek piercing. long, reading: My current set up at this moment is : clown eyes, bridge, nostrils (one each side), septum, vert labret, and dahlias (most recent, got in jan 2026). I started with the nostrils and got 2 ladies that took care of me in every sense of the way, even showing me the best way to clean them. I was also lucky enough to have them do my clown eyes. It was great having a shared goal to get everything even, the piercer with me even bringing in other people to check. However, my issue started when I got the labret and bridge. For context, I got the labret out of town but it dramatically shifted to the left when healing so I removed it to get redone. When going back in a few months later, I am told they don't do those and I'll have to come back wednesday or thursday for the more experienced male piercer. I don't see him do anything sus until he grabs 2 curved barbells. While I do have knowledge that bridge are done with straight bars, I know it is common for older professionals to use the curve so I don't say anything. When sitting down, he examined my previous scar on my lip and started shaming the previous person (while i understand it still put a strange vibe). When I feel him put the dot i mention "if you're planning to line it up with my teeth it'll turn out like that again." He dismisses me and assures me that it looks even to him. Yes it looks even but, with future knowledge, i can tell you it's not. it is still slightly to the left but i really can't be bothered to spend the money to get it done a third time just for me. Strike one. When moving onto the bridge, i ask about the bar. as i assumed he reassured me they "used to do it this way all the time". it is now lopsided and, while this can't be entirely his fault, it still has yet to heal completely. I am considering healing it over and going somewhere else as i dearly need to be symmetrical. strike 2. The nightmare i shouldn't have bothered with was with my dahlias. I again am asked to wait for him as it's a delicate spot and can be botched easily. fine. on the day, i see him again grab 2 curved barbells. i think "surely those aren't for me, this is a cheek piercing even I know that cheeks swell." sure enoug, in go the curved bars. i really should've walked out. they looked good for about 1 day. once the swelling started it wasnt long before the ball on the inside was starting to tunnel. since i had gotten it done on thursday and this is the only place in a 20 mile radius willing to tackle dahlias, i am forced to wait it out. when going in wednesday the following week, i have a hole in my cheek and the other is catching up quick (keep in mind this is all near my mouth so i'm barely able to even talk without some pain). while i admit this may have been rude, i did say to the receptionist when signing in, "i told you guys this isn't the right bar and you didn't listen". she of course didn't relay this to the piercer and seemed rather offended that i'd question his methods at all.? to their credit, they changed the bars no charge but that was certainly strike 3 4 5 and 6 double play. if y'all read this and remember me, sorry not sorry i still have the long bars in the dahlias and it's been 6 months now. no teeth chipped like you were oh so afraid of.

Hands down 10 stars , highly recommend! My friend and I wanted piercings on Friday and walked into…read moreMonique's shortly before closing . We were greeted by Bella who was so helpful and knowledgeable she asked what we wanted , made suggestions and even in my case I thought I was "re Peircing " two of my old Peircings I haven't worn in 20 years but she explained she was going to check to see if the holes were still open . The fact that Bella could have charged me for a Peircing and jewelry but said she was going to check to see if we could just get the jewelry in was one of the things that stood out the most , I love an establishment with honest people that aren't just trying to make a $ and genuinely love what they do . Bella was a whole vibe and so sweet and gentle for someone who's jabbing you with a needle ! They had a GREAT selection of body jewelry and the establishment was super clean ! We got several piercings and it was so nice that Bella took her time even though it was close to closing time ! I highly recommend Monique's and that is where I will continue to go for my body art needs !
