I decided that I absolutely needed my ear piercings redone after letting them close almost 30 years…read moreago. I happened to meet a heavily tattooed and pierced young woman who recommended Buddha Box and specifically Derek the piercer. I went to Buddha Box yesterday. Derek was so kind and gentle, and he thoroughly explained everything I will need to care for my piercing. It turned out that one hole was open, and one needed to be pierced. The piercing didn't hurt! I have chronic pain, so I'm very sensitive. I'm honestly still shocked that it only felt like a little bit of pressure. I messaged Derek on Instagram today to ask a question about aftercare. He replied right away. I'm so glad that I listened to the woman I met. Five stars.

Outside the building I wasn't expecting much but once we went inside, it had nice setup with a few couches you can relax. The place was well kept, organized and clean. The guy that helped my friends was great. Derek was very informative, knowledgeable and can tell he enjoys what he does. He made sure that the room my friends were in were thoroughly clean and explained what to expect when getting the piercings. He was also teaching someone too while talking to my friends. I think he did a great job making sure my friends were good and comfortable throughout. I didnt get anything but looking around if I do consider getting a piercing in the future, I would consider coming here for sure. They also do tattoos too and some images I saw seem cool so maybe something to think about too.

I got pierced by Frankie on Friday evening, and she was so sweet. My appointment was at 6:20 but I…read moregot there very early because I didn't want to chicken out of my piercing! I was brought back to the piercing studio around 6:30ish. I absolutely LOVE how the facility is by appointment only, and that they require you to wash your hands immediately upon coming in. Because it's appointment only, the lobby area was clear and there wasn't really anyone out there, which I really liked. The music wasn't loud either and it was enjoyable. The facility was extremely clean. Frankie was a gem. I was getting re-pierced and I was very nervous and anxious, and her vibes helped the nerves a ton. I let her know that I have a tendency to get swollen pretty quickly and more than the usual person, and she made sure to give me a longer post to account for additional swelling. Yes, it's a bit more pricier than your typical piercing studio BUT it's worth it and an investment; good work isn't cheap, cheap work isn't good. Their selection of jewelry is again, expensive but absolutely beautiful and high quality. I wish I would've gotten all my piercings done by Frankie! I can't wait to come back and see her for the next one. Thank you Frankie!

In the last 30 years I've gotten many tattoos. You get used to the environment and people who are…read moreworking in them. Or at least that's what I used to think. Let me explain: I came into Onyx Tattoo in New Braunfels looking for my son who waited until he was 18 to get a tattoo. As a parent this made me proud bc so many youths today don't have the patience to wait. I thought it would be a good experience for him and I to get one together. So after much research I landed on Onyx Tattoo. I met with two different artists, Ray and the owner, Jay. I want to emphasize the word ARTIST. Because that is exactly what they are. I gave them each an idea for a Christian project for my son and one for myself. I found some examples online and they said, great, I got an idea of what you want, I'll make it my own. That's exactly what they did. They each spent hours drawing and designing a one of a kind tattoo that blew our expectations away. When we arrived at our appointment they were excited to see us, they greeted us in a very friendly and professional manner, and the shop is so clean and organized. You felt like you were in an artist studio that had been meticulously sanitized. Each of our tattoos took the entire day to complete. During the experience, there was great conversation, some laughs, and just felt like this is the place I want to get work done in the future. I'm already planning on fixing/finishing another piece that another tattoo artist started but never completed years before. As I have gotten older, I've grown more picky about tattoos and what they mean. In my opinion, anyone in the Austin, San Antonio or New Braunfels market should come to this studio. You will find some of the nicest artists who are genuine people who love what they do. There is no better studio around. The work Jay and Ray did for my son and I was nothing short of fabulous. I want to give a shoutout to Vivo and the other artist there as well. I would trust either of them to do work for me as well. Best experience EVER! Remember folks, cheap tattoos aren't good, and good tattoos aren't cheap. However, I would say that their value is actually underrated. These same tattoos would have cost more in comparison to S. Congress in Austin. I got an incredible value and an amazing piece of art to remind me always of my faith.

She made sure to thoroughly go over healing and care instructions with me, but also sent me on my way with an instruction card in case I needed a reminder. The follow up appointment to get the earring posts shortened was even quicker and was super easy. I cannot recommend this business enough. Thanks again for such a great experience!

She's kind and patient, she cared a lot about the spacing of the piercing and was very meticulous in comparing our ears from the front. Very professional and gentle, so sweet with my child. So happy with our piercings! She gave care instructions, we purchased the sterile saline at the store, and all is good at 4 days. The store is impeccably clean. You have to purchase the earrings at the store, but they have a good selection of simple studs with the flat back. We made a reservation before hand, but they seemed to take walk ins as well. I would recommend a weekday and making a reservation because they had people walking in the entire time we were there. Parking in the mall garage, in the middle of the mall, on the Rector street side, near the Zara and Lego store.

The shop is located on Fredericksburg road off of 410, and she shares her space with a tattoo shop next door. Parking was easy and accessible. Vanessa is a sweetheart, patient, and very professional. As I go through my ear piercing journey, she helped guide me where to start. Left helix is the beginning for me, and to add other piercings along the way as they heal - per her advice. And believe me, I am so glad I listened to her, the helix is a tricky one and takes a lot longer to heal because it's cartilage. I've had a troubleshooting and a post downsize appointment thereafter the piercing and she has been wonderful in assessing the healing. Love her shop- it's feminine with an edge, and super clean. Piercing is done in a private room. She prides herself on cleanliness. She carries and showcases nice ear candy, I didn't take pics of all. I received a nice aftercare kit with detailed instructions. Any questions I've had along the way, she has answered through email. Good experience thus far.
