Saw their booth at the Hawaii Tattoo Expo and they had great prices for what I wanted to get so I…read moredecided to get my third lobes and mid helix done. First off, EXTREMELY unorganized. All of their jewelry was stored in plastic containers where the employees were just digging through, without gloves (SO unsanitary), to find the jewelry that the customers wanted. I wanted titanium flat backs because I'm allergic to sterling silver and I don't heal well if it is pierced with steel. The girl who pierced me looked through all the containers before finding 3 gold colored titanium flat backs with silver colored titanium ball toppers. The piercing process started out okay, she cleaned off the area, although not very thoroughly, and marked where she was going to pierce and let me see before she started the process. I don't think they sterilized the jewelry before they pierced me either, even though different, ungloved, employees were digging around in the jewelry boxes just before. She opened a new needle and started on my lobes, these were pretty smooth. The biggest issue came when she started on my mid helix. Told me take a deep breath and she pushed the needle through, then went to guide the jewelry in, but could only get it HALFWAY. I heard her whisper "oh shoot" under her breath before proceeding to try multiple times to push the jewelry all the way through. She asked the other guy, Jay, for help and they both stood there pushing my ear around for a solid 3 minutes before the jewelry was fully through. It was a while before the piercing was done, I could feel the blood on my ear slipping around while he essentially tried to repierce it with the jewelry. Neither of them used a clamp, or even a tube to catch the needle as it went through to the other side, just used their hands which I could feel were slipping off my ear. To top it all off, my mom told me after that they used the same needle for all three of my piercings, super unsanitary! I've gotten thick cartilage piercings done before this (rook, nostril, helix) and I have NEVER had an experience like this. I will not be coming back here, not even for my jewelry changes. The only good thing I would say about this experience was that the lady at the front was polite and friendly, and the girl who pierced me was also nice, I just wish the process of the actual piercing was a bit cleaner and smoother. I hope nobody else has an experience like this, and I hope my piercings don't get infected.

Long story short: Just about 20 minutes before going to this place, I already got my belly poked by…read moreanother tattoo shop, they gave up because I was " rejecting " so they said maybe I can't get it today. WELL MY DAY WAS NOT ABOUT TO BE RUINED. Plus I did NOT want to give up my adrenaline on getting my belly pierced so I came here from scrolling through yelp. So let me just tell you how much of a help and comforting the owners are ( seems to me they are a couple ). I told them the situation that I already have an initial hole before I came here and made sure I want to get a hole again and I said YES like right away. The piercer which seemed to be her husband was so nice and walked me through everything, and HE DID THAT IN SECONDS. I was like wait that's all? All in all, great experience. You can tell they're experienced. Location is inside the building across of Waipahu Festival Market ( the green building ). Many parking stalls, don't have to worry about that AND they are located on the right side going up the stairs.

Seemed like I was a nuisance even thought there was no line behind me. Went back a day later because the size was wrong.

Long story short I told you "you got some attitude" if she had responded differently I would've been okay with it.

We went to get my daughter's ears pierced for her first birthday and had an awesome experience…read more Our daughter has pretty sensitive skin. So opted to come here since we don't trust places that still use the "gun" technique. Hazel, who was working the front, was super friendly and sweet. And Tony, the piercer, was very thorough and informative. He was very patient throughout the whole process yet it went by super quickly. It's a little pricey than if you went to the mall but I think it's worth it to avoid any risk of infection as they use neometal jewelry (or hypoallergenic titanium that lasts a very long time.) Mahalo again Hazel and Tony for a great experience! Looking forward to seeing you guys again for the follow-up to swap in her downsize gauge (as they provide you a longer one in case of swelling during the healing process.) But within the last 24 hours, she's been a trooper and piercing has no redness/swelling and so far doing great. Just gotta keep cleaning it after each shower and monitor her closely. Other than that, might just come back again for our own piercing!

Decided on a whim to go in and get my very first nose piercing. The guy at the counter (sorry…read moreforgot his name) was very friendly and helped me decide on the right gem for my nose. Bronson was my piercer and was very gentle and knowledgeable. I knew I'd be in good hands with him. He helped me decide on which side of my nose to put my piercing (I chose left). I'm very happy with my new piercing. I went home with simple care instructions for my piercing. Staff were very professional, knowledgeable, and made the customer feel comfortable. I doubt I'll get another piercing anytime soon but I definitely will recommend these guys.

Shoutout to Brit for installing so many sparklies in my face and ears and piercing me as well. Everyone I've interacted with has been pleasant, patient, and very informative. I've always felt safe in their piercer's hands (and gloves)! As for the studio itself, it's a really pretty space to be in. The shop is super clean and features a nice mural from a local artist. The jewelry are all in very shiny display cases. The jewelry selection is also sooo awesome. It's all body safe/implant grade materials (think gold and titanium). Coolest studio I've ever been in. I know I'll be back to get some more pretty pieces soon!

I had my flat cartilage pierced here on June 30 by Bronson. Unfortunately, the initial post was too…read moreshort to accommodate the normal swelling. As my ear swelled, the jewelry became too tight and started digging into my ear. I returned on Monday, and Brit replaced it with a longer post, but by then it was already too late. My ear continued to worsen despite following the recommended aftercare and starting antibiotics. It developed significant swelling, yellow drainage, and I had to seek urgent medical care because the jewelry was beginning to become embedded. I understand that every piercing carries risks, but I believe a longer initial post could have prevented my experience. The staff was friendly, which is why I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1.

Lisa is an amazing piercer, I remember when I just turned 18, and having a 18-year-old's budget I…read morelooked and scoured all over to find the cheapest piercers and when I came across all the reviews on ink Pit, I saw that not only was it cheaper than literally everywhere else on the island but she is also amazing it hardly even hurt at all and earlier today I called a bunch of piercings shops and all of them are saying like 140+for a rook piercing?? You have got to be kidding me, but I always wanted to go to Lisa the only reason why I call other places in the first place is because they open it on the little bit later side and I wanted to get it done as soon as possible but long story short EVERYWHERE else has crazy inflation prices... Lisa is seriously the only person that I remember it being the same amount from 10 years ago that is so crazy honestly I feel like she should make everything at least $10 more That's how good her services, she ain't even answered all my questions that I have about why my industrial fill out before and all that this is literally my first good review normally I only review places when it's like extremely bad not just a little bad I can handle that but if it's like the worst place I've ever been to then I have to write something to one others but Lisa is my first good review and I'm very thankful that she took me in as a walk-in and had me out within 10 minutes maybe even 5 minutes at the most thanks again Lisa :) PS she even exited the tipping screen and said to not worry about tipping her but of course I want to~she already has her prices ridiculously cheap.. I have literally never seen anyone say no need to tip (especially in the service industry) If you need any piercings done please go to Lisa she's the best and honestly I'll never go to anyone else ^^

I got my daith and flat pierced here. it was a quick experience. When I walked in i was the only…read moreperson in the shop but Lisa was immediately rude and made me feel as if i was taking up her time and space. It was super odd, i've never had a piercer ever be so unfriendly. a few months later i went to my usual piercing place to get new jewelry and kinda talked about the Ink Pit to her. she knew who i was talking about because i guess Lisa "botches" her clients and has a reputation of it in the piercing world. my flat jewelry from the Ink Pit was so long but i thought it was okay, and my usual piercer said she was surprised it healed because it was too long to safely heal. i usually don't have trouble with my piercings, but this was so painful and hard to heal. as soon as i got a shorter piece, it stopped hurting and looks great now. their starting jewelry is terrible. this place is cheap and quick and im sure Lisa was just having a bad day when i was in there, but there are much better places to go. and remember, there's a reason why it's so cheap.
