However, my boyfriend was present during the appointment and heard the conversation firsthand. The comments about me needing to lose weight were made at least 5 times, which is why they made me uncomfortable. I also found the owner's use of the term "extra flesh" in his public response to be unprofessional and reflective of the concerns raised in my original review. Never once did I mention "extra flesh" so you see they literally body shame even publicly. I stand by my experience. While my piercing healed well with the titanium jewelry I selected, the repeated comments about my body and the pressure I felt to purchase more expensive jewelry are the reasons I chose not to return. -------- I originally booked an appointment here because they operate by appointment only. However, I was surprised to learn that both appointments and deposits are cash only. In a time when most businesses accept cards, Apple Pay, and other digital payment methods, this felt unnecessarily inconvenient. During my visit, I decided to get my belly button pierced. Unfortunately, the experience left a negative impression. Throughout the appointment, the piercer an Asian lady repeatedly commented that I needed to lose weight. These remarks were unsolicited, unprofessional, and made me uncomfortable. For context, I am 5'3" and approximately 123 pounds. Regardless of anyone's size or personal fitness goals, customers should not have to listen to repeated comments about their body during a piercing appointment. I came in for a service, not for criticism about my appearance. After that experience, I decided I would not return. Another issue I had was the constant pressure to purchase more expensive jewelry. I specifically requested titanium jewelry because I had researched it beforehand and wanted an option that is commonly recommended for sensitive skin. Despite this, I felt repeatedly pushed toward more expensive alternatives and was told I would be more likely to experience problems if I chose titanium. In my case, that was not true. My piercing healed without infection, and I was happy with my choice. Six months later, once my piercing had fully healed, I wanted to upgrade my jewelry and visited Platinum Ink Tattoo & Piercing. The difference in customer service was night and day. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and professional. They answered my questions without judgment, made me feel comfortable, and provided a much more positive experience overall. I was also surprised to find that both their piercing services and jewelry were approximately half the price of what I had been quoted at Eddie's. On top of that, Platinum Ink accepts multiple forms of payment, including credit cards and Apple Pay, and they welcome walk-ins, making the entire process much more convenient. I cannot speak to the quality of the tattoo work here since I only received a piercing. However, based on my personal experience, I would choose Platinum Ink Tattoo & Piercing without hesitation. Customer service, professionalism, and making clients feel comfortable should be a priority, and unfortunately that was not my experience here.

If you are interested in dermals, this is the place to go. I got 4 back dermals (2 at a time a…read morecouple weeks apart) here bout a year ago and was kinda nervous, not sm about the pain, but that I wouldn't like the location or that one was higher or sumn like that cuz it's not an easy piercing to just redo. I love how they don't just eyeball it but actually measure and draw out lines to figure out placement. Loved how all of em came out. Despite my efforts to keep them happy, I've had two incidents since where i was genuinely concerned that the only solution would be to take it out cuz that's all i saw online. I was so relieved when eddie informed me it'd be possible to save it (not a guarantee tho) using an extension bar and thank goodness it worked cuz both are completely fine now. I doubt i would still have em if i went anywhere else bout the issues i had. He is always rly prompt with responding on ig which I rly appreciate, especially when I had concerns. I first came here to get my tragus and third lobe piercings, and as someone who's really particular bout things like placement and symmetry, I got reassurance seeing Ayan measure and line up the placement of my third lobe piercings. Seeing how in depth they do even lobe piercings, I was confident in coming here and only here for back dermals. Also as a heads up this place is cash only Highly recommend here for all piercing needs:)

I'm big on professionalism when I call a business and outer limits met and exceeded all my expectations. When I walked in for my appointment with Lucas I was blown away by how clean/sterile this place was. I was actually quite shocked it was also a tattoo shop as well just by the beautiful appearance. The receptionist was again super nice and Lucas my piercer (I randomly picked because I didn't know anyone there) ended up being extremely knowledgeable on how to troubleshoot my angry nose piercing that didn't seem to want to behave. He also didn't leave me hanging with just one appointment, he has also been on call via text for me anytime I need help or have any questions. He also has the best vibe too. I would and already have recommended this shop and Lucas to anybody looking for a piercing.

I have yet to find a spot by myself so I just bit the bullet for paying for valet. We came in an hour before closing and were greeted by Samara - who did a wonderful job getting us set up for our spontaneous piercings! We were then directed to Lucas. He did my friend's tragus piercing and my dual lobe piercings. I haven't been pierced since I was a baby, but Lucas made the whole experience real easy. Overall, he's a super chill guy that makes an effort to strike up a conversation and make you feel comfortable about the whole process. Other than the fleeting hot sensation from the initial pinch, the process was pretty painless. Bonus: we got some sick stickers featuring his bull dog Everyone we met at the shop was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Their website is also a fantastic resource in case you don't ask all of your questions about healing in-person. My friend and I truly felt like we were in great hands so kudos to everyone for setting such an easygoing vibe. I've been back a few times since January for a quick monthly check and to get my piercings downsized recently. As expected, I was met with top-tier customer service, true to the shop's personal brand. I feel confident coming back for future piercings. Lastly, if you're downsizing - I highly recommend making an appointment. I was in and out (no more than 15 minutes), but I was surrounded by 4+ walk ins. It's really easy to do so over their website vs. calling.

Morgan is hands down the most gentle and skilled tattoo artist I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I've been going to her for a while now, and with each session, she somehow manages to get even better. Her attention to detail is incredible, and what really stands out is how collaborative she is. Before each session, she has the artwork ready for me to preview, and she's always open to my input, making sure the design stays true to her vision while incorporating any tweaks I want. During the session, her patience is unmatched. She's mindful of when I need a break and will adjust where she's working if a certain spot is getting too sore. It's clear that she's not just about completing the piece but about creating something truly beautiful while making the experience as comfortable as possible. I couldn't be happier with my latest piece, and I can't thank Morgan enough for her talent and care. I'm already looking forward to the next session! read more

ParlorSix8 is hands down the best tattoo shop I've ever experienced. Morgan, the owner, has completely reimagined what a tattoo shop can be--and it shows. She's addressed everything that's traditionally "wrong" with tattoo shops and created a space that is calm, relaxing, inclusive, and safe. As a woman who loves getting tattoos, this shop is a dream. The booking process with Morgan was seamless from start to finish. Communication was clear and professional, making the entire experience stress-free. Not only is the shop itself absolutely beautiful, but the artistry is truly top-notch. I've been tattooed by both Morgan and Nick, and each experience was great. Highly recommend! read more
