Recently got my nose pierced, and it was the best experience I've ever had with a Piercing. The…read morefirst thing I realized was the calming atmosphere and decor when you enter. Secondly, they offer an amazing collection of jewelry to choose from, or to swap out previously had piercings. My piercer was named Robyn and she was super personable, and made sure that I was relaxed. Immediately it was apparent how professional she was at piercing and took her time with sterilizing all the parts. A week later I reentered and had to get my bar extended to account for healing. The owner squeezed me in immediately and I was also able to talk to the owner who helped me out. She was also super kind & friendly I could tell she was super passionate about opening this piercing facility & wanted only the best for her staff & customers.

Extremely overpriced compared to the multiple other tattoo parlors I've been to, and my artist ripped her dab pen (marijuana) mid session on a 5.5 hour tattoo. Don't get me wrong I know people smoke and drive all the time but I'm paying $650 for u to make detailed art in ink on my body: let's not add a new challenge to the task. I didn't even feel confident in my design until there was 20 minutes left. The aftercare advice was different than any I've ever received (keep the plastic wrap on for two weeks with only two replacement films???) so naturally my skin broke out into hives due to the adhesive being on for more than 24 hours. also make sure ur phone is fully charged if ur going in for a long session Bc they simply don't want to converse with you.

I honestly couldn't even tell if it was a man or woman, but whoever that person is, they're ruining what used to be a solid, reputable shop. I won't be returning ever.

Hector took a special concept and turned it into life for me. At my request, he gave me a heads up when he changed steps during the process, which eased my mind. Hector was the absolutely the right person to do my lightly colored, watercolor style tattoo. Store owner or manager (not sure but I think owner) Tiffany is great! She listened to me while I told her the story of my tattoo concept, and she came to check on me during the tattoo process, asking if I needed anything. A store employee also came to check on me and asked the same. I would really recommend Bang Bang Body Arts for tattoos based on the experience that I had yesterday. The shop is really clean, Hector seemed meticulous as he followed hygienic procedures, the waiting area is comfortable, and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! I am extremely happy with an experience that meant a lot to me.
