Huge shout out to Kayla who was juggling multiple clients including myself, making sure she herself…read morewas fed (please take more than two bites next time!) and was super fast with my piercing! I got my septum done and I hat needles so 10/10 job to her for not only being swift - but also not waving the needling around my peripheral and leaving it in my blind spot LOL Super clean, super chill vibes, very well organized and I really prefer parlors with a kind of open concept like this one does! Definitely wanna get my next piercing and tattoo here! Thanks Obsidian, and thank you Kayla!!!

The Good: Edwin has done a wonderful job on my cover-up and the amount of detail he has put into…read moreworking on it. With our consultation, we have specifically looked over dozens of images of real bears to find the perfect one. We found the perfect picture and he was able to freehand the image with ease. This wasn't my first tattoo by him but it is the largest piece I have; once I found a good artist, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that I wanted him to work on my cover-up. The Bad: Tattoos hurt, obviously! Edwin was able to suggest getting numbing cream to apply before the session to help with the pain. He also has the option of tattooing for an hour and spraying a numbing spray. Just be careful that you aren't allergic to it before asking for the spray. The Ugly: People might think that his prices are high but I think that they are perfectly reasonable. The initial payment with booking his time is put towards the payment of the tattoo and the additional hours after are totally worth every dollar you spend. His work is amazing! On to my next adventure...

"Good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good."…read more Edwin is bomb AF and is simply one of most detailed and best tattoo artists around. He listens, advises and does a wonderfully amazing job. Super easy going, very very clean environment. Had my first tattoo in some time done on 10/11/2020 and will be going back for more work. If you want QUALITY work, from a QUALITY individual. You need to come by and see Edwin.

I got my septum pierced at this shop by Jason and I cannot think of a single way he could have done…read morebetter. I had wanted to get my septum done for a long time but listened to other people about my life for too long. My husband found out I wanted it and encouraged me to finally do it for myself, I was, however, also extremely nervous. I have anxiety and a low pain tolerance, and I wanted to get it done before I lost my nerve lol. I was originally going to go elsewhere but that fell through which was upsetting at the time but I'm glad in the long run. I searched through so many shops trying to find a reputable, affordable shop that wasn't too far distance-wise and who's hours worked with my schedule. I called them last minute (fully expecting to be told no as it was 6:40 when I called, I was 40 minutes away, my ride was still 10 minutes out, and they closed at 8.) he said "yeah, come on down, it's no problem." My husband and I went, I think it was obvious I was a little nervous, but Jason was really cool with us the entire time. He made some jokes, explained things clearly, made sure I was as comfortable with the process as I could be, and was very encouraging, clean, and precise throughout the actual piercing. I had previously gotten my nose pierced and the piercer had been really nice but he fumbled around a lot with the piercing and it hurt like nobody's business. I won't say this felt good, but it was the best conditions I could've possibly hoped for. I guess if I absolutely had to come up with a criticism, it would be that while the needle was still in my nose, He and my husband were joking about how it actually looked kind of bad ass, I wish one of them would've offered to take a picture, because afterwords, I was curious, but in the moment I would've lost my nerve as soon as I saw myself in the mirror. This is my piercing place from now for as long as I'm within an hour drive!
