I've wanted to get another piercing for years and just decided to go for my septum on whim. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. This place was IMMACULATE! It smelled nice and everything was clean. The art was tasteful. They sterilized everything and showed us the chemical strip that showed that everything was sterilized. Nicholas was warm and kind and answered all my questions. I was shocked at how painless my septum piercing went; I wanted to add on a service but got scared. Now that I see how well this shop treats people, I'll definitely be back!! My wife went with me and wanted her own piercing after watching my experience! 10/10 would recommend

Guardian Art Gallery was my first tattoo experience--and it couldn't have gone any better. First of…read moreall, I walked in and immediately noticed the cleanliness, which was very important for obvious reasons. The whole place was tastefully decorated with Angel's artwork (more on him later). Next, the receptionist (I'm kicking myself for not catching her name) was absolutely lovely. She was very kind and accommodating. When she learned it was my first tattoo, she explained exactly what to expect and reassured me that I was in good hands. We had a pleasant conversation until Angel was ready to take me back. When Angel escorted me back to the private tattoo room, the positive notes from the reception area continued. Everything was very clean and Angel explained each step of the process, even telling me exactly where he was going to rest his arm while he worked. I watched him set out his equipment and, again, he kept things clean and remained kind. The tattoo itself is absolutely gorgeous. It's a small lotus flower tucked behind my ear. I was completely blown away by the level of detail he was able to achieve with such a small design. The shading is exquisite and he added his own touch to the design that I had provided. It's perfect! So, if you're looking for a location to get a tattoo, big or small, Guardian Art Gallery is the place to go and Angel is the best man for the job. I can't say enough about the entire experience. Also, Angel was military, so be sure to thank him for his service to our country!

I do recommend going here for a piercing but I don't recommend doing any hoop until your piercing is healed because it can effect the tissue in your skin and you don't want to damage anything (just trying to help with an infection as well.). I do like how friendly Kevin was and I will be going back for more piercings!

Really. NO STARS should be given…read more Do not go here for nose piercing. The coo screw piercing is archaic. My nose swelled so much, the stud embedded into my nose. I called to see if he could change the piercing, he didn't return my call, I went to "Stay True Piercing" in Newington and they were astonished by what the piercer at Transcend did to me. Said the method as from 1992. I was in pain with the most uncomfortable piercing. transcend may be good for,tattoos, but go to a reputable piercer. do NOT go here.
