Oct 2023 I had a slight mishap and needed to change the…read morepiercing. Amber told me at time of piercing in Feb 2019 to just call and she can swap it out anytime as she does this service for other clients. I always tip as a courtesy. A guy answered the phone and said Amber is there and there is a charge. I had a problem so I did not feel comfortable changing myself at the moment. Although the fee was nominal, I am deducting one star based on original information from the piercer. Amber has good customer service. The change back to the flat back 14kt yellow gold earring caused significant pain level such as initial piercing from the 14kt yellow gold hoop which was purchased somewhere else as not sold at this establishment. Omg and yikes! Problem if the hoop is completely 14kt gold as a problem in the manufacturing since 14kt gold does not tarnish. I found another establishment that solely does piercing and carries a vast selection in products including 14kt and titanium and after a month got a different 14kt gold hoop and 2 other piercings, zero pain surprisingly for all services. Hope this review is helpful based on my experiences, thanks.

My piercer was Christian and he did amazing I am so in love with my piercing. He explained the whole process when I was getting pierced. I am also known to faint or feel nauseous when I get piercing and he handled it amazingly getting my water and letting me lay down after getting pierced. The place was very clean and had wonderful piercers. Paid around 122, without tip, for my nose plus an extra piece of jewelry for one of my ear piercings. They also gave me free aftercare saline solution and explained that process in depth. It was amazing and totally recommend Christian for your next piercing!

Sent Nate a broad idea of what I wanted for my tattoo. The concept he came up with was better than what I expected. His coloring work is stellar, especially when considering I have a darker complexion. It was also a cover-up and no one can see the tattoo that was covered up, even after I mention it was a coverup. It's not the cheapest place in town, but I believe you get what you pay for. I'd have paid more!

I got a piercing done here. First of all, the actual piercing was done professionally and hygienic…read more I have no complaints with that, he did very well from that perspective. Pricing wise I do just want to point out a couple things for people: the piercings are a little pricey which I'm okay with as long as it's advertised upfront. He doesn't mention that he charges separately for the salt based after care solution ($15+ or something) and he didn't mention that until ~after~ I already had the piercing, when it was inconvenient for me to go elsewhere for it. Also, the base selection for earrings that are included in the price are pretty limited, like 3 choices. So be prepared to pay $20+ for earrings if you don't like the couple options provided. Just some things to consider - he was friendly and performed the piercing well otherwise. Just a lot of upselling that would be nice if it was more transparent from the beginning. He also asks for a tip at the end which is fine. Ended up being ~$170 for basic earlobe piercing in both ears with the cleaning solution and a basic other pair of earrings that wasn't included.
