It was off campus but only a 10 min drive, which wasn't bad, since we were looking for a place she would feel comfortable getting her first non-earlobe piercing Angie was a great piercer and was very knowledgeable and helpful with me choosing the placement of piercings. (I went in on a whim and didn't know exactly what I wanted) I had lost my old cartilage ring and she has tons of cute jewelry at great prices, and helped me find a larger earring that fit in the curve of my upper ear, and advised me with a new mid ear piercing. Angie offered to change out the earring to a hoop after the piercing if I didn't feel comfortable doing it myself. Overall had a very positive experience and will definitely be coming back for any future piercings and recommending to friends.

Since the owner likes to delete all the honest bad reviews on other websites, I'll leave it here…read moretoo. If I could rate this place a zero star I would. These people are scammers, if they see you don't have any tattoos they quadruple charge you because they know you're uneducated about everything. Unfortunately they took advantage of me and charged me nearly a grand for a 200/300 piece when I didn't know better. They also make you sign an insane contract. And milk you of all your money with any charge they can think of. Of course read it. But unfortunately if you're younger or haven't been tattooed you don't know this isn't normal and that they are preying on you. (My case). The deposit of course which was over $200 for a small patch tattoo. One minute late? Charged. Though my artist was nearly a half hour late. (They don't follow their own contract but I guess it's fine. Also they don't let you in until they are ready so get ready to freeze or melt on the little wooden bench as you're forced to wait outside.) Change in the template when you don't get to see it at all beforehand anyways? Charged. Reschedule? Charged. lol. Unfortunately if you are new to tattoos/getting tattoos they take full advantage. On top of that my artist specifically, Mal, completely changed the lettering and the design of my tattoo. And for my tattoo, the piece was designed specific to be a replica of something, an item, not a different tattoo or artwork. I got there and he said this is the tattoo.. I said, why did you change it? He said, well this is easier for me to do. So essentially, he changed it without asking because he was lazy and refused to change it back. At that point I had put so much money in. I didn't wanna lose any more because I would've been charged for changing or canceling. The tattoo is basic at best. I also had to go to a different artist to get the lettering redone because Bro didn't even go deep enough for it to stick. I was much too uncomfortable to go back. I also didn't want to be charged a fee for their mistake which I'm sure I would've been. The tattoo, totally lop-sided and misaligned. You would think a beginner did it or that it was freehanded. Thankfully, I found a different place in the city over. I got a tattoo three times the size with crispy lines and it's actually what I wanted for about half the price. Would never recommend this place ever. All they care about is money!

I was looking for a new ear piercing for a year or so and finally decided to do it during this trip…read moreto Chicago yesterday. After looking on Yelp, I decided that I liked the reviews here and happy to report they are accurate! Bob was super patient and helpful picking both the new placement and jewelry, which I would have never thought of myself since the stud with chain is typically used on the helix. He was also just super easy to chat with and while closing up, he even went the extra mile to send the antibacterial soap to my place since I wasn't checking in a bag. 10000% recommend Bob!

Within that time period my guy became ill and we couldn't get tats. I asked for my deposit back and was told it was non-refundable because they blocked the time out. Then asked if we could re-schedule and was told that would require another deposit. I find this to be NOT to be a reputable business or even operating with best practices for customer service. The receptionist was quite snarky with her responses. STAY AWAY, BEWARE!!!!!!

Thanks to all of them for being professional and helpful! As a response to the comment by F.U. from 2 weeks ago: I was wondering if you would review via Yelp. I was in the studio the day you and your child were in and was mortified by how rude you were to the piercer and staff. So much so, in fact, that I apologized for you. You're welcome. You were determined to have the piercer tell you what you wanted to hear, rather than what their training and certifications has taught them. Shame on you for treating people the way you did, in front of your child. What an example to set.

I'm honestly disappointed to be writing this because I've had positive experiences here in the past…read moreand truly like the business owner. However, from the initial phone call to walking into my recent appointment, the energy felt completely different. There seem to be new staff members, and unfortunately the experience was not welcoming at all. I'm not sure of the associate's name (it wasn't Alex), but she was noticeably rude throughout my visit. Instead of feeling guided or taken care of, I felt like I was inconveniencing her. There was tension around simple things -- like me wanting to look at the jewelry options or asking about pricing before deciding on a chain. As a customer, that's part of the process. It should feel enjoyable and peaceful, not rushed or begrudging. I value good service and intentional experiences, especially when I'm spending my hard-earned money. This visit felt uncomfortable from start to finish, and I honestly couldn't wait for the appointment to be over. I'm sharing this in hopes that the atmosphere and customer care return to what it once was. Until then, I'll likely hold off on returning.
