After searching google and yelp reviews for shops that did ear piercings we settled on this shop…read moreand overall the experience was fantastic. We were able to get an appointment quickly with a piercer who has been in the business for 17 years, which is great to have someone with all that knowledge. It took about 20 minutes to get through the paperwork and have the earrings sanitized and when my daughter sat down she spent additional time walking her through all of the steps and expectations - we were never rushed and all questions were respectfully answered. When my daughter got nervous she stopped and calmly walked her through it and waited until she was fully ready again. The piercing sites were marked where my daughter was able to see before hand and adjust as desired, everything was cleaned and then after the piercing she applied a cold saline cloth which my daughter loved. It has been two weeks and so far the piercings haven't caused any pain - we followed the advice to not turn and clean with saline spray only as needed, which is the exact opposite advice I received decades ago and it has worked fantastically. Also, the earring she got had flat backs so they don't poke into her head, which has also provided better comfort then the shopping mall piercing I received as a child. Additionally, we go back after 8 weeks for them to update her earring size, which provides a smaller rod through her ear since the current earring is longer to account for swelling - this is a great option which I wasn't expecting, there is a lot of thought that goes through this entire process! I highly recommend this for a first piercing for your child. It is far more expensive than a mall piercing but such a better experience that it is definitely worth it!

This shop is really beautiful-clean, well maintained, awesome artwork everywhere. The shop owner Dav is super friendly and great at responding to emails, phone calls and keep up with clients. The shop is slightly off the main drag in Jenison and when I pulled up, I thought that they were closed but we had made appointments months in advance, so we were good to go! Tony Putt did my tattoo and I am so grateful for this experience. I've been following Tony on instagram for a while now @sharktoothtony and fell in love with his tattoo designs and use of color. As my sister and I were planning on sister tattoos, I decided to go to Tony and my sister to Dav. For our tattoos, we wanted a cow skull and flowers but because we had different aesthetics in mind, each tattoo artist designed a totally different tattoo to fit our wants/needs. When we arrived at the studio and Tony showed me the design, I nearly gasped as it was absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I had dreamed of and more. I am artist myself but am always shocked and pleasantly surprised at how when given some simple prompts and ideas for tattoos, many tattoo artists can come up with the most amazing designs perfect for a tattoo. Tony's design was the perfect mix of art nouveau, modern, and a mix of bold and delicate. Tony's studio is really beautifully decorated with dark navy walls and artwork covering nearly every square of space. He had traditional flash on the walls, colorful paintings, and taxidermy animal heads. The space felt comfortable and he provided me with a pillow for comfort. I love getting tattoos but I hate the process of getting them done. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, they hurt like hell. The whole time, like every.single.minute. Tony was really relaxed and made me feel comfortable the whole time. He is professional and the tattoo turned out incredibly gorgeous. I am so excited about this whole experience and hope that I get to come back to him again someday!

I actually got two tattoos done here a few years ago, but I recently went back to get some nose piercings. They have now split their building into two. Both are on the same road just two doors down from each other, so it's not hard to get to either of them. There is plenty of parking on the side of each building as well. It was pretty cool being in the newer second building this time. Both were extremely clean. I watched everything being opened in front of me, and Kenneth, the piercer, was super amazing at explaining everything as it was happening. The pricing was very reasonable too! It was $35 for a piercing plus $5 for each additional one. The rest of the price depended on jewelry choice and taxes. They had a large selection of quality jewelry. I got the smallest white opal studs from neometal. So I got two nose studs, one on each side of my nose. Initially it was great! But I did go back a few days later to have one removed because it was crooked. Kenneth took it out and scheduled a new appointment to get it redone in a month, all free of charge! It really felt like he cared about making it right. Overall, best piercing experience I've had in Muskegon ever. Highly recommend!

I am certainly no artist but words don't seem like they would be that difficult for a professional tattoo artist, especially when a picture of what is requested is shown to the artists and a mockup that looks perfect is created.. I was wrong. I have been asked if it is my child's handwriting. Adding to the review since I don't see a way to respond to the helpful response that this received. Yes, I did pay for it with a generous tip. No, unfortunately, I have not contacted anyone as I assume there's no way it can be corrected. If there is a way to contact the owner, I would love to do so and explain my concern and remove this review. The artists were polite and courteous, so did not want to write a negative review but felt I needed to warn others. While a review like this might not be the best way to solve the issue of my dissatisfaction, I am a little bit embarrassed to contact anyone regarding it.

I walked in in a Saturday afternoon to have an earring put back in that had fallen out. The…read morepiercing hole was still open, as the piercing had only fallen out a few weeks ago, & I had been inserting other earrings in occasionally to make sure the hole remained open--I want to include that I've had this triple forward piercing for 10 years. Went to screaming needle to have this done. No problems. Today, however, i met Kevin, who would place my earring back in for me. At first, I was taken back as he just walked up to me & grabbed my ear to look at it. Didn't say a word to me but told the woman at the front desk he would just "taper it". I had no idea what that meant, & to be honest, I've had these earrings fall out a couple other times, all they did is put another earring back in for me. No problems. Kevin just walked away from me & I had to ask the woman if I was supposed to follow him or wait for him to come back out as there was zero instruction from him. She told me to go to his room. He met me there and was very irritated. I tried being friendly & asked how his day was going. He let me know he's only had jewelry switch outs & that's it in the last hour or so...which I was one of them so that didn't make me feel very good. He told me to sit at the end of the table. He didn't say a word to me and literally tapered my ear for no reason. Didn't ask me if that was okay. Just went for it. Hurt like a b. Why not use a smaller gauge earring? Why not ask me if it's okay to taper? I didn't want that and wouldn't have allowed it if I had know what it was and what was coming next. I shrugged it off & thought maybe it was supposed to be sore. The tapered earring grew incredibly painful over the course of the next two days. It was definitely infected & angry. There was so much pus & the red swelling traveled all across my ear & started down my neck...I ended up having to go to the urgent care to seek help & start an antibiotic. It has been just over a week. The antibiotics thankfully helped, however, I can barely see the back of the earring. Here's the kicker...he didn't put in a long enough shaft to accommodate for the swelling, so I'm hoping the back of my earring isn't embedded into my skin now... All this to say, Kevin, if you had just been kind & had communicated with your customer, this could've avoided a lot of pain and problems for me. All I wanted was my earring to be put back in, as I have twice before this...with no issues. Sadly, I will never step foot into a screaming needle business again.
