Piercing Review I…read moregot my navel piercing here 3 years ago. After I left, I noticed it was a little bit crooked. No biggie, I'll be the only one to notice. The problem really lies in the fact that 3 years later, it's still not healed. And yes, I followed the piercer's instructions. 2 years in, I called them thinking maybe I'm allergic to the metal in the jewelry. I've heard that can cause piercings to not heal, and I purchased the jewelry from them. I didn't expect them to fix anything, I just wanted the details so that I could find different jewelry. They didn't even know the size or material of the jewelry that they have in store. Just make the drive to Des Moines. Both of the places in Ames suck. The only upside to going here is that everyone (now that one of their artists is gone) seems incredibly nice.

We have been here twice now for piercings. The first time was 12/7/24, and my daughter and I got…read moreour ears pierced together; she got her first earlobe piercing and I got my fourth, which was considered a helix piercing. Our second visit was on 1/19/26, and my daughter got her second earlobe piercing. Piercings are a walk-in basis only, so there could be a wait. As with any tattoo/piercing shop, you'll need a valid ID in order to receive any services. John does such an amazing job every time. He's caring and knowledgeable as well as an all-around fun person to talk to. He measures where the piercings should go before he marks them and then triple-checks that the placement is correct before asking the client how they feel about the placement. He's quick and efficient, yet very calm and patient. The quality and variety of jewelry he has in stock is amazing as well as the aftercare products he provides. John makes sure to go over all aftercare procedures for each piercing as well as gives a small bit of sea salt for cleaning. There are other aftercare cleansers available for purchase as well; we bought the Mudscupper's Brand, and it works wonders! Overall, the vibe is really laid back, relaxed, and comfortable. It's clean and well-organized as well as bright, but private.

Isle T. was 45 min away she choose this because of the ratings. Our ages ranged from 26-80! We were treated like royalty! Everything was explained in detail, very kind and even came in early for us because we had a group that wanted to "do this together " :) ! Could not have been more knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating especially to several of us that had never stepped inside a tattoo parlor before! I would have no problem recommending this place and traveling for a while to get the quality and service we received! 5 !
