    I am fully endorsing Rubi's Piercing! My daughter (and by extension me) had a great experience here. Madison was super sweet and chill. She was extremely patient with my daughter and made her feel very comfortable. Madison was not only knowledgeable but thorough as she walked me through her sterilization process all the while answering my daughter's (and my) questions. Go see Madison! End the ear gun trauma!

    Rubi's piercing is an amazing place to go for a piercing!! I went on the day they opened (today) and got my lobes done. Madison, the piercer, is professional, fun to talk to and loves pink! Watertowns first piercing studio and it's so lucky it's Rubis. LGBTQ friendly! See the photos of my piercings below! I choose miss matched jewelry so much fun!

    Amazing experience with Madison! I was pretty nervous as I only had my ears pierced as a kid. She was super helpful and patient helping plan my next piercings. We went with a second ear lobe and one flat helix. It was shockingly not very painful! I absolutely love the placement. She is clearly skilled and knows what she is doing. I will be back for more!

    Madison is incredible!! She is talented, quick and makes you feel calm and relaxed while you're with her. Her pink decor adds an additional spark to your visit! I highly recommend!

    Madison was very professional. She explained all the possible consequences, advised how it would look good, disinfected everything before the procedure. The piercing was inserted very quickly and painlessly. Very satisfied with the result. I would definitely recommend her to anyone considering getting a piercing. The place was super clean and nice.

    Had a wonderful experience there. My daughter got her second set of ear piercings, nothing but good things to say. Professional and caring.

    I went to the very accessible and adorably designed shop and met Madison, who is super nice and incredibly helpful.

Marina was running the shop herself and took care of 3 clients in a short period of time without rushing. she was super kind and helpful even though i didn't get my piercing here. she let me know my options and i chose to replace the bottom disc of a floating naval with a ball since the disc was digging into me. after she replaced the disc, i nearly immediately started feeling better. the disc had swollen the area around my naval, but the ball nearly immediately settled it. the bar already seems much longer due to the swelling going down after about 14 hours. she was patient, helpful and caring. i appreciate that she cared about my healing more than the place i got the piercing done from! and i love her pink gloves and matching supplies. comfortable waiting room, piercing room, good vibes. i love that they separated the piercing and tattoo sections. wonderful customer service. thank you for not treating clients like a burden.

I came in with clear ideas and references, but very little of what I asked for was actually incorporated into the final piece. What's most frustrating is the apparent lack of effort. When I compare my tattoo to other work he has done, the difference in quality and attention to detail is hard to ignore. My piece feels rushed and poorly executed, with minimal care taken to match the concept we had planned. Getting a tattoo is a permanent and personal decision, so it's important to feel heard and confident in your artist. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience here. I would strongly recommend that others carefully review his work and ensure clear communication before committing. Also, he admitted to me that he has been drunk while doing other clients work in the past and had alcohol at his station in the shop. That begs the question if he was drunk while doing mine.

They have portfolios of the artsists' work on the website. Based on Yelp reviews, I chose Andy Reach and he was great. In order to reserve your timeslot, you send a deposit to your artist (I chose to do so via Venmo), for me it was $60. After you receive the tattoo you pay the remaining amount, $40 for me. [Note: $100 is the minimum fee at Redemption, even for a small tattoo like mine. I was happy to pay that knowing I'm working with a great artist at a reputable shop, but you can probably find cheaper for small, single-color tattoos elsewhere.] Don't forget to tip too! Andy did a great job on my tattoo. I had a really specific design (the 3 stars from the corner of the page in the Harry Potter books) and he copied it exactly. He was very honest and upfront with me about what size and location would last well instead of promising something that would never work long term. I left with a slightly bigger tattoo than I'd anticipated, but I feel confident that it won't fade or blur like the smaller size I'd initially planned on. All in, I was probably under the needle for 20 minutes tops. It felt like someone digging their fingernail into your skin. Sure, it hurts, but no biggie. A month and a half later, my tattoo has healed really nicely and looks great. It bled a little bit the first night but other than that healing was fairly quick and easy. I will absolutely come back to Redemption and Andy specifically if/when I decide to get my next tattoo.

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, I had to wait a little while longer to visit the shop for the first time! After booking the consultation, and meeting my artist, I put down my deposit and waited one painstakingly long week before the official appointment arrived. Of course I was nervous as heck because I had job idea how much the tattoo cost, or how painful it was gonna be, plus doing anywhere during all this madness is a challenge within itself. However, all the safety precautions were being taken, all artists and customers (including myself) had masks and gloves on, and the procedure went great! Jebb, (my artist) did a phenomenal job of making me feel comfortable and calm during the whole thing, and I will definitely be coming back here for my next tattoo! p.s, my art is healing really nicely, and the pain afterwards was little to none!
