My fiance and I went in for back to back appointments today. My fiance was getting his first…read morepiercing -- a septum piercing, and I was going in initially to get my tragus done. Dan was incredible through and through. He explained everything very thoroughly to my partner and what to expect with healing. He even explained what the best type of jewelry was to start with given my fiancé's line of work in having to keep piercings hidden. For me, Dan took into consideration my profession and how a tragus may not be the best choice given that I have a stethoscope in my ears a lot. He suggested a conch piercing instead and I went with it. It was SO quick and effortless. Dan was incredible and I will be booking all my future appointments with him. He was so kind and it shows that he's really invested in this line of work and very passionate about his craft.

UPDATE: I've been coming to Enigma for years, and Evan is an excellent piercer. My review came from…read moregenuine disappointment at how much the overall experience has changed. That's why I genuinely taken aback by the length and tone of their response below. I'm not quite sure what they intended it to prove My review doesn't claim that they never replied. It explicitly says that I eventually received a response over a week later. I emailed them a few times during that time. By my third message, I'd explained the piercing was red, bleeding and producing green discharge, and that I was considering urgent care but understood it was better to consult the piercer first. I asked what I should do. I could have just come into the shop, but wanted to be respectful and ask first. A reply ten days after my first email isn't useful aftercare. In their public response below, Enigma claims that they first replied on May 26. After posting that response, they emailed me privately. They didn't repeat the May 26 claim in their email but did attach screenshots of their previous replies. Both screenshots are dated June 5, so 10 days after my original email. May 26 is the date I emailed them, not a reply from them. I've checked my inbox to make sure and there is no response from Enigma on May 26. They also admit that another more recent email "slipped through the cracks." When they finally replied on June 5, one email gave me Evan's working days and the other advised coming in to change the ring to a straight post. But by then, the problem had already healed up, so the advice was no longer useful. My complaint isn't about what they eventually said, it's that it took ten days and repeated messages to receive any help. Honestly, if the intention was to show that my review was unfair, sending me evidence of the very thing I complained about is an odd way to go about it. I stand by every word.

Healed really well with his instructions and he also gave me his card if I have any questions or concerns. Matthew did my sister's and it was also her first tattoo. She's very happy and loves hers as well and he did a fantastic job! When I was getting my tattoo, you can feel the community vibes if that makes sense. People would come in and everyone in the shop knew who they were and they were making plans for a community block party for the 4th. Seeing and hearing that made me so happy cause not only are they talented but they are down-to-earth and wants the best for everyone who visits them.

10/10 -- Absolutely Recommend Lion's Den Tattoo!…read more From the moment we walked in, the staff at Lion's Den Tattoo was professional, courteous, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They actually got us in on the spot, which was amazing because we were definitely operating on last-minute tattoo energy! The vibe and aesthetic of this place are perfection. Everything feels welcoming, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together. They were so accommodating with our last-minute plans and were able to work with two different people getting tattoos, which we really appreciated. The pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the experience. And can we talk about the waiting area?! Beyond comfortable. But the real MVP? THE A/C. Because when it's 102° outside, honey, we were absolutely NOT trying to spend one more second sweating for the day. The A/C was A/C-ing, and we were grateful. We had such a great experience that we are definitely coming back. If you're looking for a tattoo shop with great people, a fantastic atmosphere, reasonable pricing, and an overall excellent experience, Lion's Den Tattoo is it. 10/10. Highly recommend!

When I started looking for somewhere to get my ears pierced, I specifically wanted a piercing…read morestudio rather than a tattoo shop. Rose Body Piercing was exactly what I was looking for. It's a nice space that focuses on piercing, and I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. I called about two weeks ahead to schedule and was sent a link to book online. I was able to get the exact date and time I wanted and received both email and text confirmations/reminders before my appointment. I booked with Brielle! I went on a Saturday morning and there was plenty of metered street parking available. The building is gated, but they send you instructions ahead of time explaining how to get in, so it was easy to find my way. The studio itself is small but really cute, and both the studio and piercing room felt very clean. I came in to get a third piercing on both of my earlobes. Brielle showed me the jewelry options first, and there was a nice selection at different price points. After filling out a form, we went into the piercing room. She cleaned my ears, wore gloves, and I felt completely comfortable with the hygiene process. She took her time marking the placement of both piercings and let me look in the mirror and approve everything before she started. She also talked me through what she was doing before and during the piercing, which helped me feel relaxed. I wouldn't say it was painless , but it was very quick and simple! Afterward, she explained how to care for the piercings and gave me saline solution to take home, which also has the aftercare directions on the bottle. I'll need to come back in about 4-6 weeks to have the backs downsized. Brielle was friendly, professional and made the whole experience really easy. Most importantly, I was very happy with the placement and how my earrings looked when I left. I would definitely recommend Rose Body Piercing and would come back here for any future piercings!

I understand that everybodies anatomy is different and it could cause a slight tilt on the piercing but it's been weeks since I got the piercing and looking at it now with no more swelling or redness it is almost ridiculous how off the piercing is. It's very obvious and disappointing how crooked it is. I even went home to my home piercer and even he left a comment saying that it was done very poorly. Loved the service and friendliness but unfortunately Im going to take out the piecing let it heal and then get it redone somewhere else. I want to prefaced that I really hate leaving a bad review and I tried to convince myself that it was fine but honestly just the comments I get from my friends and even another piercer about how it looks just kind of made me feel like I needed to share my honest experience.

0/10. Do NOT come here…read more I found this artist through Instagram for anime tattoos. His work looked good, so I reached out. He was quick to respond and asked for a $200 deposit, which I sent via Apple Pay on March 5 to the shop owner. We booked for March 16. Leading up to the appointment, he would send random updates on the design, but nothing was finalized. I gave feedback and stayed patient, even knowing they had a Friday the 13th event going on. I didn't hit him up again until March 15 (the day before my appointment) because we STILL didn't have a finished design, which is wild. He tells me he'll have it done that day. Cool. Then a few hours later, I get a generic email saying my appointment is canceled. No explanation. Nothing. So I reach out to the number I sent my $200 to asking for a refund, and instead of handling it like professionals, they get confrontational and start acting like I'm the problem for asking for MY money back. They try to hide behind a "no refund" policy... even though THEY canceled on me. Make that make sense. I added my conversation with the artist, since the owner wants to claim harassment. Judge for yourself. No policy was ever clearly shown to me, and communication was trash the entire time. Instead of owning their mistake, they blamed me and got disrespectful. I only got my money back after I told them I'd file a chargeback with my bank and take them to small claims court. Go read their bad reviews--you'll see a pattern, especially with how the owner talks to customers. Super unprofessional. Save your time, save your money, and go somewhere else.

The location Is clean with a great demeanor and we had no issues finding some street parking. We made an appointment online and got in quickly The attention to detail was very comforting to my daughter and myself as a parent, and Natalie explained each step of the way she double and triple checked placement made sure my daughter was comfortable at all times my daughter chose upgraded jewelry and even though this is obviously always going to be pricier than going to hang out somewhere in the mall or anything of that sort this experience truly taught her to respect the process how to take care of it and to appreciate the decision she just made for her body A few small tears but my daughter was smiling ear to ear before we left This experience was better than any ear piercing.

It's been phenomenal.

I was a little nervous since I haven't gotten pierced in over two years, but the actual piercing was so quick and easy! He also noticed that my daith was infected (got that at another place) and was kind enough to clean it, along with my other piercings for me!! This is also the only place I've been to where you only pay for the jewelry and the service includes a cleaning kit and aftercare instructions!!! Overall, you can see how much love and care Wael puts into his work and into making his clients feel comfortable. I'm so appreciative of him and of the whole experience!

I had tried and tried to take it off but it wouldn't, so I thought "it's time for the professionals" LOL anyway i walked in and was immediately greeted nicely as they were finishing up with another client. Ruth was the piercer I saw, and was laying down on the table with my head turned to the side. i was prepared for the experience to be difficult and unpleasant since it was so stuck. I kid you not, I didn't feel anything ?? genuinely, ruth took out the stuck jewelry then put in two hoops (2 helix piercings but one stuck) and all i felt was her gloves brushing against me, as it normally would. By the time she told me was done I thought oh maybe she forgot the second piercing but sure enough she had taken the stuck stud and put in 2 hoops. TL;DR All I know is Ruth is incredibly gentle and fast ! Definitely coming back!

Dom took my idea and designed a medium-sized crysanthemum that comes to life and really completes the tattoo and movement of the piece.

Needless to say, I was extremely pleased with Dom and his team to schedule me in and give me a personal and unique experience. It's hard to say but the service at the shop has improved.
