My friend and I went to True Art Tattoo for a belly button piercing, and from the moment we walked…read morein, the experience was disappointing. The piercer, a white woman with black hair, was unfriendly and came across as snarky and rude from the very beginning. Instead of taking my friend to a private area, she had her lift up her shirt in the lobby. She then had her sit on the couch, looked her up and down, shook her head, and told her she was "too fat" for a belly button piercing and that she didn't have the right anatomy. Whether or not someone is a candidate for a piercing, there is a respectful and professional way to communicate that. The way she spoke to my friend was humiliating and unnecessarily hurtful. My friend already struggles with body image, and hearing those comments from another woman left her feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Watching someone treat another person that way was upsetting. After leaving, we went to another piercing shop, where the piercer evaluated her professionally and completed the piercing without any issues. We were also told that the interaction we experienced at True Art Tattoo was handled in a very unprofessional manner. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend True Art Tattoo. We encountered rudeness, body shaming, and a complete lack of compassion and professionalism. No customer should leave feeling belittled over their body.

I can't say enough good things about Body Anthology. I've been tattooed by Alex several times now,…read moreand every single experience has been amazing. He's not only incredibly talented and creative, but also super attentive and responsive from start to finish. Alex has done gorgeous dog portraits for me and an arm piece that honestly turned out even better than I imagined. He makes the whole process comfortable, checks in often, and you can tell he truly cares about the final result. If you're looking for an artist who's both professional and genuinely passionate about what he does, Alex is the one. I highly, highly recommend him and Body Anthology -- you won't be disappointed.

We went to Rowan to get my niece's ears pierced. Her first piercing, she was very nervous and…read moreexcited! Rowan in Pinecrest was an amazing experience. The store was very cute and comfortable and clean. All things you want when getting a piercing! I saw the techs clean the headrests/chairs between client's which was appreciated. It was steady with business, but we didn't have to wait long at all. The piercing nurse tech walked us through the options and answered all our questions, speaking with confidence and expertise. She also made my niece feel comfortable! When she was done, they gave her an adorable certificate and sucker. The earrings are all hypoallergenic, which is also fantastic. 5/5 for sure!! Highly recommend. Please note: It is a little pricey, but worth it.

The added bonus is that the decor is absolutely adorable, they only pierce ears, and all piercings are completed by an RN! Tina helped us and she was such a sweetheart! My daughter had her ears pierced with the piercing tool and they did it simultaneously, one nurse on each ear to ensure my child's comfort. Next, they gave me my second piercing on each ear lobe. They recommended a needle piercing for me as I had this piercing in the past and they were closed up. Again, this went so smoothly and very comfortably! Another added bonus to Rowan is the jewelry is so cute! They have very affordable options all the way up to entry level luxury. Pricing is a bit on the expensive side once they add up all of the fees, however I feel that the overall value is there. They help you not only get the piercing you want safely, but to make it a memory as well. If you are looking for an ear piercing for yourself or have a child you want to take, I can't recommend Rowan (and Tina) enough!!

Joe was LOVELY, made sure we were comfortable, and was very skilled, leading to a (relatively) pain-free experience. They also have a good variety of jewelry in the store.

They're cash only, but there's an ATM if you forget. Definitely coming back here!

This is a wonderful Piercing Pagoda location. We went today to get my 6-month-old's ears pierced…read more We picked out earrings, I held her, and one ear was pierced at a time. The associate did a fantastic job marking my daughter's ears, then had us check the placement. She made sure that my daughter was held down by us so she was still, then did the piercings. The baby did cry, but forgot about it 30 seconds after the second ear!! We got verbal and written care instructions before leaving. The only costs were the earrings ($30-50 for 14k gold) and the cleaning solution ($3). I'd definitely recommend this location for baby ear piercing.
