Moving to a new city and finding a great (and reputable) piercing studio is a tricky one. You want…read moreto befriend a piercer for all your sparkling needs and find a front of house to help in curations, custom orders and more. After leaving a studio who did all that and more for me on the east coast, mid-ear project, I was on the hunt. GoodLife is appointment only, with reputable piercers, jewelry options and a cleanliness that reminds you of a fancy (but cool) drs office. NGL my first visit, I was welcomed by a tough FOH. I'd be lying if it wasn't the first time I've encountered a person who treated someone who is not as alt presenting differently. BUT my knowledge of jewelry and brands, placements and piercing upkeep is thorough and the reason I bothered driving 45 mins to this studio. Upon making my appointment I picked out Kelly, who JUST so happened to work that weekend. They were AHMAZING, sweet, professional, and made you feel good. And for me, it was good enough to keep coming back. They introduced me to Ezra, the studio manager, for a custom order placement and that interaction continued to make up for the initial not so great check in. I've been back 2 more times since and have had great service each time. I've been introduced to Marissa as well and look forward to having a second piercer to work with on my ears. Folks know but its like tattoo artists, you just end up with your go-tos. They have great jewelry options and will work with you to order outside of any of the brands in their cases, custom or otherwise. Go get poked and sparkly!

To add to my frustrations, I do not even live in Ohio, so now I have to pay even more to get it fixed by another artist. I also specifically said that I wanted the numbers to be black and the heart to be outlined in red and he just did not listen and did everything in black. Freaking out. TRAIN YOUR ARTISTS!!!

He worked with me to get something better on my arm. The atmosphere here is also very inviting, not at all what I would call "tattoo shop vibe". Everyone is super friendly and it always feels more like a hangout than an appointment. I dont plan on getting tattoos anywhere else. I've only gotten work done with Nate so far but everyone there is talented. Yelp won't let me add photos for some reason, my sleeve isn't finished yet anyway. Just let them get creative with your ideas and you won't be disappointed.

On a flash tattoo sale day in front of a large crowd of people he threatened to shoot a staff member and was cussing them out in front of his kid who was understandably crying.

I did mention it was big. I was able to see other interactions with customers of all types and each was very friendly and outreaching. Be prepared to answer a lot of questions about what you really want. They want you to be happy. No issues with my appointment times and price was right. TIP your artist!
