No warning, no "are you okay with sharing the room?" nothing. I look up and my friends are being told to scoot over by some dude! But they're super strict about "no pictures allowed" for "privacy," yet it's totally fine to stick random people in the same room as us?? Make it make sense. For how overpriced it is, you'd think basic privacy would be included. The whole thing just felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. Definitely not coming back.

I went to piercing 101 today & I had an amazing experience. I was checked in as a walk-in and I…read moreonly had to wait about 30 minutes which I felt was fair-- the staff while I was waiting, let me pick out which size I would like and I was kind of unsure because I didn't know if I wanted small or big and they were very kind and helping me figure out which size I would like. My piercer was named Lily and she was very kind. She could tell again that I was unsure of which size I wanted and put each size up to my nose and was very patient in letting me decide. She was very nice and soft spoken and did a really good job with my piercing and I'm very satisfied. She was very thorough and explaining the directions of the aftercare with my piercing. Overall, this was definitely a really nice experience. My little sister got her earrings changed out and they were so kind. She is only nine years old. They are very patient and she was very scared but they did a really good job. Definitely recommend coming here!

We love that she let our group into the private room and she gave our other child a lollipop - a cute touch and kept her busy. This was the highlight of our experience, working with her. We were a walk in so that experience was a little overwhelming at first; having 2-3 people greet us, sign waivers and verbally explain the pricing to us. There was one main person that was just running through everything so quickly that I just couldn't register everything they were saying. I think it would be nice to have a visual price list to look at for our own pace while we make a decision. It felt pressured and rushed. But once we were actually taken care of by Lily and one other person, it didn't feel as overwhelming. Overall aside from the first part of the experience, it was fantastic. Our teen felt comfortable with Lily and it went so smoothly!

Thanks Dalton, you're the best

The clamp on the bracelet recently broke so I called to see how warranty works and was informed that because I got it customized they might not be able to take it back but lady on the phone said she'd ask management and give me a call back. I've been waiting for that call since Saturday at 5pm

Hidden charges. Make sure you double check the charges before you give your payment. I was told…read more"you're covered for a year, so if anything happens, just bring them in" but nowhere in that statement did she mention that there was a cost associated with it. $14 for the set I bought with the piercing and $3 I'm assuming for the second pair that was 40% off. My fault that I wasn't paying attention, but when I was talking to my husband and breaking down the cost, I realized it didn't make sense that the total was $125 when it should have been around $102. I tried calling them back for over an hour and all I got was a busy tone (they weren't busy) and the chat service online wasn't helpful. Refunds need to be processed at a store, they won't do it over the phone. I'm happy with the piercing. But as far as service goes, it was severely lacking - they weren't very friendly and the fact that the phone seems to not be a "working" number was a bummer.

Even though I have many other piercings, he always takes time to go into detail about aftercare and things to look out for. Also a very calm and friendly vibe from both the piercer and the shop. Overall, I highly recommend, especially if you are nervous for a first time piercing!

Ollie the Impaler at Locally Famous is amazing. He walked me through my ear piercing options with…read morepatience and care. His training and experience made me feel comfortable. After care is so important to any piercing and based on my line of work, I had to go for a more traditional piercing than what I was considering. I went with two additional lobe piercings versus a cartilage option (there are soooo many different options for ear piercings and he went through all of it with me!!)! Overall, I felt like this was the best decision for me, based off the consultation with Ollie and I'm really happy with the results. This place passes all the vibe checks and I'd recommend Ollie without hesitation. 5 stars all around!

Highly recommend Ollie the Impaler if you're wanting a piercing. He's got a great personality and…read morereally knows what he's doing. He was very friendly and answered all my questions, even though I wasn't the one who got pierced. My friend was nervous and he was very patient with her, and was able to set her at ease. He very thoroughly explained the process to her and did the piercing without causing her any pain. He's also fair priced. He has a very clean space that is nicely decorated all around. Definitely a cool dude, while being very professional. My only complaint would be how hot the place was. It was even humid in there.

I had an amazing experience getting my tattoo done by Jordan. From start to finish, Trusted Tattoo…read moremade me feel comfortable, listened to what I wanted, and absolutely nailed the design. You can tell Jordan genuinely cares about their craft -- the attention to detail was next level. Every line, every bit of shading was clean and precise. What really stood out to me was how patient and focused Jordan was. They took their time to make sure everything looked just right, and it shows in the final result. I've gotten so many compliments already, and I honestly couldn't be happier with how it turned out. If you're looking for an artist who's not only talented but also professional and easy to work with, Trusted Tattoo has them. I'll definitely be back for my next piece!

This experience left me upset and disappointed…read more I booked a tattoo appointment with Skye, paid a deposit, and asked for the design in advance because this tattoo had deep personal meaning. I never received the design. On the day of the appointment, I showed up. Skye did not. She canceled last minute and asked to reschedule. Because I am deploying soon with the military, rescheduling was not an option. I explained this calmly and requested a refund, since the artist failed to show up. Skye initially said she would send it, then completely stopped responding. What frustrates me most is the lack of accountability. A deposit should not be kept when no service is provided and the artist is the one who cancels. Being ignored afterward made the situation even worse. This was handled very poorly, and I can't recommend booking with Skye based on my experience.
