I had been following June's tattoo instagram account for over a year, and had been wanting to get…read moremy first big tattoo in her signature colorful, botanical style, but was a bit nervous. I finally went ahead and booked a virtual consultation (being in San Diego). From the very beginning of the process, submitting the request to book, through the consultation itself, and coming in to get the tattoo, I had the most amazing experience. I felt comfortable that I was in the hands of the best team at this shop. Rob was super responsive with scheduling and questions. June created a beautiful design based on my references and feedback and added little touches that made it even better. When I showed up to my appointment, I was a little anxious, but it was such a cozy, beautiful studio and I felt welcomed and at ease by Rob and June. June took such great care to cover up the scars I wanted covered and make it look beautiful and flow well with the natural curves of my leg, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. After she finished her work, she brought out the professional camera to get the best pictures possible and promptly sent them to me the same night. You can tell she takes pride in her work (as she should!) I will absolutely be back for more tattoos in the future, and maybe add more to my leg sleeve. It was definitely worth the drive from San Diego to work with the right artist who made my vision come true!

She is so talented and I've been getting artwork commissioned by her here and there and have a few other small tattoos from her Her line work and attention to detail is amazing. Everyone at the shop was really nice too! The vibes were immaculate and the artists do this thing where they show all the other artists their finished pieces and I thought that was so cute. Her rate is 150/hr so I would book that appointment before her rates go up!!!!! Thanks Mia love u!!!

There aren't the words to express just how comfortable and PAINLESS my experience was at the 3rd St…read moreOak and Poppy. Yesterday I got my septum pierced for my birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

She was back and forth, but now at 7.5, she decided she was READY. She almost convinced my husband to do it at the mall, but I'm glad they didn't. I heard about this place from other moms at her school, and I'm so glad we went. They squeezed us in immediately and were just great. Always spoke directly to my daughter, explained the process. Went though jewelry, explained all of that. I didn't get the name of the person who did the piercing, but he was amazing. He described everything to her, had her do deep breathing. It was done quick while also taking his time with everything. She felt secure and brave, I'm just so happy with her experience! I will definitely be going back after looking at some tattoo work as well, it all looked great.

After discussing with the shop, it seemed like a system error and they suggested I reach out via email in order to get my deposit applied to a new appointment.

They used outdated jewelry that is banned in other states and did not properly educate me on the rate of rejection for the piercing.
