    Had a great experience getting my ears pierced. Looks really cool, super clean shop. Highly…read morerecommend for getting pierced. Was quick and painless​

    extremely poor, negligent and UNSAFE piercing experience. ended up on 2 anti-biotics for infection…read more UPDATE 2 (1/24/26): I did receive a text after my review was posted (photo attached) but it didnt acknowledge the procedural mistakes or even ask how i was doing at a bare minimum. It just stated i was "removed from the system"- which clearly isnt true as I received a BOGO promo text from them a couple of hours ago. I blocked the other number after that initial text because it was distasteful and lacked accountability... i have no interest in a private "discussion" with a business that deflects blame for a medical infection onto the customer. regarding the infection, the blistering and pain requiring antibiotics started within 48 hours which is a timeline that points to procedural negligence NOT aftercare. I have 13 other piercings and know the protocol very well. blaming "ear trauma" and aftercare is just a way to avoid taking responsibility for poor technique and a complete lack of professional standards. I dont need a private phone call to explain that the negligence happened in the chair, not at home. the responsibility for what went wrong lies entirely with John's actions, not my aftercare. Leaving both my review and the owner's response visible so others can see the full exchange and decide for themselves. my intention is not retaliation, it's transparency. UPDATE 1: after my review i received a text from the other owner, Toy. She said they removed me from their system so i wouldnt get unwanted texts and that they "appreciate the feedback".... no apology or basic check-in. im disgusted. it's so insulting to treat a serious infection and a mangled ear like a minor customer service annoyance. they show zero accountability and are clearly trying to wash their hands of the situation. based on my experience this shop is DANGEROUS and they dont care who they hurt as long as they can delete your contact info. ORIGINAL REVIEW (1/22/26): i had an awful experience at this shop and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. i came in as a walk-in and the owner John, who did my piercings, talked about being overwhelmed and frustrated by how busy it had gotten. it made me feel like he was rushing and i wish i had just went elsewhere as it was clearly rushed. it was all downhill from there i came in for 3 new piercings and John made repeated, SERIOUS mistakes. one piercing had to be done TWICE because he admitted he pierced it at the WRONG ANGLE!! and another, he stopped right before and questioned whether the area had been cleaned (I told him it hadn't). for my daith, he immediately said he used the WRONG SIZE NEEDLE for the jewelry and whatever he did to force the jewelry in was EXTREMELY painful!!! WTF I literally can't make this up! NONE of it was properly done or handled with care at ALL. the entire process was chaotic, careless and unsafe. Additionally, when i asked him to swap out an existing jewelry piece (arguably the easiest part of this appt), he didn't notice my baby /sideburn hair was getting caught in the thread of the jewelry... which was uncomfortable and easily avoidable. I only found out when i tried to tuck my hair back and couldn't because it was so tangled... an easily avoidable mistake if he was actually paying attention. With my daith there was excessive bleeding and a lot of unnecessary handling of my ear. the pain is far beyond anything ive EVER experienced, not even exaggerating. i already have multiple cartilage piercings (tragus, conch, rook) and have gotten 3 ear piercings, at once, on two other occasions and have absolutely never had anything like this happen. my ear is severely swollen and i had to seek medical treatment- taking a prescription antibiotic 4 times a day and round-the-clock ibuprofen. i am including several photos because the swelling speaks for itself. i feel obligated to be honest because this wasn't just a bad experience, it felt negligent. the owner also offered a confusing discount that didn't even match his own pricing policy but no amount of money excuses the throbbing pain and infection i am now treating.

    The most FANTASTIC shop/artist I have ever been too. Fernando knows EXACTLY what he is doing when…read moreit comes to professionalism, tattooing and quality. It obviously rubs off to his team as they are ALL amazing artists. Fernando did my full arm sleeve and the amount of people that stop me to talk about the work is astronomical. I've even got pierced here too. VERY SAFE and CLEAN environment. When you sit in the chair here whether it be a tattoo or piercing listen to when I say, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY about the quality of either as they surpass the expectations every time. 10/10 Recommended.

    I'm disappointed to have to update my review but my recent experience make it necessary. I went…read moreback to Embassy Tattoo for another piercing (a conch) and had no issues. I asked a question about my original cartilage piercing and I was told that the piercer used a barbell that was too short and there was no way for the piercing to swell and heal properly. My earring was changed but I was charged for a new earring, even though they used the wrong one in the first place. A few weeks later I was cleaning the conch piercing and the earring fell out, and because it was a small earring that screwed into the back, it was not easy to put back in myself or with my husband's help. I called Embassy Tattoo to ask if they could put my earring back in for me, and they said they weren't taking jewelry changes that day because they were running a special for only new piercings. When I said it wasn't a new piercing, it was a 3 week old piercing that fell out, they told me it didn't matter and to stop by the next day. I definitely wasn't waiting a day to put a new piercing back into my ear when it was throbbing, swelling, and would definitely close by then. I went to another tattoo shop nearby who, after saying a new piercing should not have been a screw-in earring, changed the earring for one that snapped in. They also took a look at the new piercing and the original cartilage I got at Embassy Tattoo and said both were pierced on an angle which makes it harder to heal (as I've been experiencing over these last few months). While the staff at Embassy Tattoo are great, I don't see myself going back to after this.
