Came here on a weekday night to get navel piercing. The people here are really nice and keep all…read moreexplanations simple. I actually went to Adrenaline after visiting another place that told me that there's a risk of migration/rejection due to the shape of my belly button. I went to adrenaline looking to get a second opinion and they said that migration or rejection is due to the piercing itself more so than the person's anatomy. I thought that was interesting and found both places to have a reasonable backing to their explanation (but then again, I don't know that much to begin with). Overall, the experience at Adrenaline was pleasant and there was minimal pain. I give this place a 4 as I think they can be more thorough with explaining their equipment prep procedure and the aftercare for piercing. This picture is 2 weeks after piercing and the cost was ~$80 (jewellery included).

Upon entering you immediately feel comfortable, & see the artists working together to create the best pieces, theres no ego, or competition between them. Over a 2 year period & many sittings, Kelsey created two incredible pieces on my arm, both of which we're created in such a way to wrap around my body, the 2nd of which she free handed majority of it with sharpie to sit in such a beautiful way. Despite her tendency to call her machines "bumblebee" & "the hammer" her artwork is incredible, beautiful, & a hundred more amazing things. I would defenatly come back for another piece.

**Obsessed doesn't even begin to cover it**…read more Visiting Vancouver from the States, I stumbled across *The Fall* while scrolling through the internet--and I'm so glad I did. After some research, I knew I had to have my tattoo done by Fay. A few weeks before my trip, I called, paid my deposit, and sent over my design with the tweaks I wanted. Everything was set, and my excitement started to build. Fast forward to the day of my appointment--I arrived right on time, and Fay was already waiting, ready to go. She printed out my design, and let me tell you: she *nailed it*. First try, no edits needed. She even printed a few different sizes so we could settle on the perfect one. And before I knew it, she was tattooing. Yes, it hurt (because, of course it does), but the pain faded as quickly as it came. Chatting with Fay was a blast, and to top it off, she even touched up one of my older tats. And the pricing? Absolutely fantastic for the quality. But I wasn't done. Apparently, one tattoo wasn't enough--I decided to get a tragus piercing with Adam. Now, it had been 10 years since I'd had anything pierced, so naturally, I didn't quite remember what to expect. But Adam was a total pro. He distracted me effortlessly with great conversation, and before I knew it, the piercing was done. His vibe? Impeccable. Between the tats and the piercing, this experience was beyond exceptional. I'd travel out of my way again just to come back here. Thank you for making my visit unforgettable!

About five months ago I got my belly button pierced and the girl who did it pierced too deep into my skin, which is why my belly button is always in constant pain and is developing a large bloody purple pus lump which comes and goes all the time. I'm not happy with this, but there's nothing I can do about it now. I went to Body Jewels and the staff there took a look at my belly ring and said "whoever pierced this did it way too deep." Because of this inconvenience I would advise any girls who want their belly pierced to go to Adrenaline or any other store!
