The apprentice is supervised by a senior piercer, in my case the shop owner, and it was a great experience. We went slow and had an easy paced consultation making sure the placement was just right and would also meet the kind of jewelry I wanted. They were happy to change and mark placement multiple times until I was satisfied and the owner was happy. All in, I paid $90 for both piercings including jewelry plus a tip.

For some reason Google Reviews isn't displaying my review from the summer so I'm cross-posting it…read morehere: I just moved to MN and wanted a new piercing for my birthday. Fraidy Cats came HIGHLY recommended by a friend who has been going to the owner Jamie for a decade now. I have 15+ piercings so this is not new territory for me. The same friend called the studio in the morning to check in with Jamie. Two of us wanted two new piercings, not one, and she said one appointment slot per person would be ok. We also let her know we had our own jewelry and she said it would have to be processed. She instructed us to book three back to back appointments with the same piercer online so we did just that and reserved an hour and a half time between the three of us (4pm-5:30pm). We arrived on time (3:58pm to be exact) and Jamie told us that she "messed up" the schedule and needed to help someone else first, but the staff came over to take care of us so it was fine. Our group of three proceeded to complete paperwork and a very lengthy after-care presentation. We were just following the staff's instructions so we figured we were still on schedule. Jamie joined us and called us by they/them pronouns by default which seemed thoughtful. She asked where we bought our jewelry from since it needs to be high quality. She went back and forth between the lobby where we were and her office on the other side of the wall to google the names of the studios where we said we bought the jewelry. Not sure if that's the best way to verify jewelry quality but ok. This was when things went south. Jamie said there was now only enough time for one of us to get pierced with jewelry that we brought and that there was no longer time for two of us to get two piercings each and that we would have to come back a different day. So we let my other friend who was visiting from out of state have that slot. I asked Jamie to process my jewelry alongside my friend's jewelry because I had a feeling there would be enough time for me. She reluctantly agreed and guess what? There was enough time -- my piercing was completed at 5:22pm. The piercer who did my tragus was kind, professional and personable. Unfortunately things didn't go as planned. Immediately after putting in the jewelry, she told me that it was slightly off and asked me to check the mirror. I calmly said that I didn't like it and asked that we remove it. She said ok but had to notify Jamie first. Jamie stormed in and was completely on the defense, saying things like, "This is a great piercing" and "It looks great to ME." I stayed quiet nearly the entire time. I struggle with social anxiety and standing up for myself, so the last thing I wanted to do was defend myself and start crying. All I was able to say was, "This isn't the placement I agreed to and I want it removed." Jamie removed the jewelry from my ear and explained to the piercer how it was at the wrong angle, while still not validating my decision to have it removed or apologizing for her piercer's lack of proper training. She also didn't do anything to stop the blood from pooling inside my ear and then raised her voice at me when I tried sitting up to prevent blood from going down my ear canal. The piercer tried helping me and Jamie started barking at her asking if there was blood on her floors (there wasn't). Thankfully Jamie left the room shortly after. When we left, Jamie didn't come out to ask how I was doing or say goodbye to my friend who, again, has been going to her for years and consistently refers people to her studio. I went back shortly after we left to ask for my deposit to be refunded since no one had mentioned it at any point. A staff member went to Jamie's office to ask and said that Jamie would take care of it within a few days. At this point it was clear that Jamie had no intention of seeing us out or following up on my experience. Again, this review has absolutely nothing to do with my botched piercing. These things happen. The problem is the way I was treated by Jamie. She had more respect for my pronouns than my well-being. Also I received my refund AFTER this review was posted on Google.

I had gotten my nose pierced with Selina and unfortunately after a good month of healing I started experiencing hypertrophic scarring (which is basically the skin producing excessive collagen ) and resulted in an ugly bump around my piercing. I have been visiting Selina since then and she has been so helpful giving me various tips and tricks to help me bring the bump down and heal without scarring. Has my bump completely gone? No, its a work in progress but having someone like Selina to work with has really made me worry less about it and know it will eventually go away. So if you are in Twin Cities and looking for a good person to get your piercing done, Selina it is!

I just had my 9-year-old daughter's ears pierced at Bevel, and I hesitate to even say how impressed…read moreI was, because it will sound like I'm exaggerating. But these folks exceeded not just my expectations, but my hopes, in every possible way. First of all, we are a low-income family, but I didn't want to go to a mall-based option, so I was researching price options. Bevel was actually one of the best prices for a minor, if not the best I found. I also called ahead of time to ask about their cheaper jewelry options. Even though it's a pretty swanky place, the person I talked to was not only understanding, but enthusiastic about making sure I had the info I needed. There was no hint of just being "tolerated" even though I wasn't going to give them much money. And they really do have an extensive selection of LOVELY jewelry at the lower end of their price range that suit a variety of tastes. Second of all, our family is at high risk for covid, so we still mask in public spaces. Nate was our piercer, and he took the initiative to offer to mask for us when we saw were wearing masks. That means a lot to us, and the proactive attention and care says a lot about the attitude he brings to the place. I was a bit nervous for my daughter, because she is highly sensitive in pretty much every way, including to pain. Nate was spectacular. Not only did he talk her through every step ahead of time (including a discussion of consent, where he ensured her that she could say at any moment that she needed a break or some space), but he was encouraging and fun in a natural way--not in the overly cheery way some folks interact with kids. She commented after we got home about how nice he was. As I had expected, she experienced the piercing as fairly painful, and Nate was absolutely perfect. In between ears, he did not push AT ALL to move on to the second ear, even though I'm sure we were taking quite a bit of his time. He gave her space to calm and prepare, encouraged her to let out the tears she had forming, and affirmed how well she was doing. He even offered to send us home with some saline wipes that feel cool on the pierced area and help soothe some of the pain, which really did help my daughter for the next couple hours. I honestly have tears in my eyes writing this. The piercings also look great, of course, but a lot of people can do a good piercing. The way we were treated from start to finish--especially the genuine care offered to my kiddo--was what really stood out, and I truly can't recommend these folks enough.

I wanted to swap my nose stud out for a hoop, having no idea what I was doing I figured I would let the pros handle it. My piercer was so friendly and personable. He explained everything he was doing before doing it, asked if he could touch me, and made sure I was comfortable the whole time- whoever he was (I missed the name) was a 12/10. The second visit I wanted to go from a hoop back to the stud- having no idea how to remove the hoop I again let the professional handle it. This time I had a different employee who I believe has a guest spot. He was nice, but just kinda grabbed ahold of my nose, no explanation, no ask to touch (not that these are super important to me personally but it's just so different). No sanitation of my nose...just different. Had that been my first visit I wouldn't have thought anything of it- but because I had such an amazing first visit I was a little bummed. I'll still go back, I love the shop and the energy- everyone is welcoming and there's no judgement which is a 10/10.

Husband and I are celebrating our 6 year wedding anniversary and wanted to spontaneously get some…read morering-finger tattoos. It's been a rough year with losing his mother to cancer, buying a house in a rough market, and the ups and downs of normal life. We chose Tiger Rose Tattoo for their reviews and their ability to do walk-ins was a huge factor. The gentleman who took our initial information was super sweet and kind, it was a $150 minimum but I figured it would be worth it to have quality work done. After putting our names down we came back 30 min or so later & I can't remember our artist but he was in the back corner. We were told before getting our tattoos that the fingers are a different type of skin so rather than doing a line all the way around, it was only on the top. Sounded reasonable enough so we went with his advice. This was my third tattoo so I opted to go first, he did a pretty decent job shaving my finger, cleaning me off, and getting me situated. Took all of 5 minutes and then it was my husbands turn. He got two lines vs I only got one. He didn't have his finger shaved, he also took about 5 minutes and then we got wrapped up, paid $300 for three simple lines total... which is a bit nuts, but we paid and were off on our way. This was on Dec 31st, it's been 2 weeks now and we're not thrilled with the results. It literally looks like someone took a fine tip sharpie and drew two lines on my husbands finger. On the left side of my ringer finger, there's a chunk missing where black ink should be. It's truly absurd how much we paid and we'll have to find a better artist to help either make the lines thicker or just forget the whole idea and have it removed. This was my husbands first tattoo experience and I'm livid with his results. Do not do walkins here... I wouldn't trust them to do any of my other tattoos.

The front staff helped explain the aftercare and guided me through picking my stud. They had a LOT of jewelry to choose from. Since I knew id have to keep this initial piercing in my nose for nearly a year, I opted for something simple. I would definitely go back later to get one of their more unique pieces of jewelry, though. My piercer, Kalei, was professional and friendly. She made sure to explain the piercing process and in no time I had my nose pierced! It's been about 6 weeks and my nose appears to be healing great I will come back to Electric Strawberry when I'm ready to swap it out for a new piece. The one negative was even with an appointment, the wait time was a little long as they appeared to have a lot of walk-ins. But I also understand that some piercings/appointments might take longer than expected.

It was incredibly easy to book an appointment, and their website was really helpful - I got to read about each piercer, look at jewelry options, and got a lot of piercing FAQ. The day of my appointment, I walked in and immediately knew I chose the right place. The shop is clean and unique, and I immediately felt my butterflies ease up. The front desk staff member that checked me in was incredibly helpful, going over the paperwork and helping me pick jewelry. I'd arrived a little bit early but only waited a few minutes before Jo took me back. She explained the process and then it was time to get pierced. Although piercing pain is a bit different than tattoo pain, Jo was quick and efficient. I'm incredibly happy with my entire experience and would highly recommend Electric Strawberry for anyone in the market for a piercing.

Either way, i had such irritation and struggle with the pain after days of hoops i had to sit at home missing social events with ice on my face. I was able to get one stud in myself, but had to pay another $50 at a pro shop to get one in the swollen side that was pierced through a vein. You can see the irritation on the hoop side in the picture. I would not trust this shop if they've got a piercing guy that will do that. I believe he's the only piercer at the shop. In the response to all these issues all they said is that they would switch it out. No accountability or saying anything about their choice. Stay away from here for piercings and look up APP piercing shops for your safety.
