TLDR: Clean atmosphere; Ron has terrible vibes…read more Ron pierced my back dimples. He made a point to share that he was fasting for a body builder competition and super out of it . He and his wife (the receptionist) were sort of fighting; he was irritable and ill tempered which was very uncomfortable to be around. She was very friendly and warm. First dimple went fine, still have it over a year later. On the second dimple he struggled to anchor it and was digging in my back for several minutes. Also forgot to count me down bc he was conversing with his coworker. I was wincing in pain and he told me to relax and that most of the pain was in my head Most piercers make a comfortable, welcoming, disarming vibe; Ron brought quite the opposite. That piercing never anchored properly and popped out 9 months later. Also, I was accidentally charged double BUT when I called they apologized profusely and immediately corrected it.

He worked at a great pace, checking on our tolerances often, and was just absolutely fantastic! I cannot recommend him enough. His work, especially his lines, are some of the best I have ever seen. There was only one thing wrong... he and the other artists were making my daughter and me absolutely starved with their discussions of Cuban and Puerto Rican cuisine, LOL! Seriously though, Christian, @tattedcuban22, is the bomb!

At first I was annoyed the shop was locked because there is only one employee working at a time. There were people waiting behind me but they gave up and left the line. I was contemplating leaving too. I'm happy we ended up waiting for the body piercer to come back because she returned quickly and my daughter ended up getting her piercing same day. It help my daughters nerves that she was engaging in conversation to keep from thinking about pain. It was very quick. Care details were explained. It sucked she ran out of care solution, but she offered us to come back later in the week for some; she also offers free refills. All piercings are just $20 plus the price of the jewelry you choose. Jewelry was also affordable. Everything came out to about $30. You can't beat that! Be careful there's another body piercing shop on the same level. Almost accidentally went there instead, they only had one choice for navel bar, happy we came here instead!

Got my ear pierced and bought an earring there.

I went there and asked the lady to take the earring out so it could heal and then I'd come back to get it pierced. The lady was so rude and disrespectful, she said oh all we do here is pierce we aren't allowed to take earrings out. And I said but you pierced it and it is swollen. She said go to icing and they will do it for you. So I went to icing and the ladies there were so nice took it out and gave me ointment to heal it quicker and then I went back there and they reported it and I have had no problem ever since.
