He was professional, knowledgeable and a genuinely nice guy. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I didn't even know he put the first earring in until he showed me the little white plug. The whole process was quick, most of the time was sharing information and it was only $10 plus a tip. Everything was clean and a relaxing atmosphere.

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 !
