My friend and I went to True Art Tattoo for a belly button piercing, and from the moment we walked…read morein, the experience was disappointing. The piercer, a white woman with black hair, was unfriendly and came across as snarky and rude from the very beginning. Instead of taking my friend to a private area, she had her lift up her shirt in the lobby. She then had her sit on the couch, looked her up and down, shook her head, and told her she was "too fat" for a belly button piercing and that she didn't have the right anatomy. Whether or not someone is a candidate for a piercing, there is a respectful and professional way to communicate that. The way she spoke to my friend was humiliating and unnecessarily hurtful. My friend already struggles with body image, and hearing those comments from another woman left her feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Watching someone treat another person that way was upsetting. After leaving, we went to another piercing shop, where the piercer evaluated her professionally and completed the piercing without any issues. We were also told that the interaction we experienced at True Art Tattoo was handled in a very unprofessional manner. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend True Art Tattoo. We encountered rudeness, body shaming, and a complete lack of compassion and professionalism. No customer should leave feeling belittled over their body.

He's not only incredibly talented and creative, but also super attentive and responsive from start to finish.

If you're looking for an artist who's both professional and genuinely passionate about what he does, Alex is the one. I highly, highly recommend him and Body Anthology -- you won't be disappointed.

The store was very cute and comfortable and clean. All things you want when getting a piercing! I saw the techs clean the headrests/chairs between client's which was appreciated.

She also made my niece feel comfortable! When she was done, they gave her an adorable certificate and sucker. The earrings are all hypoallergenic, which is also fantastic. 5/5 for sure!!

This is a wonderful Piercing Pagoda location. We went today to get my 6-month-old's ears pierced…read more We picked out earrings, I held her, and one ear was pierced at a time. The associate did a fantastic job marking my daughter's ears, then had us check the placement. She made sure that my daughter was held down by us so she was still, then did the piercings. The baby did cry, but forgot about it 30 seconds after the second ear!! We got verbal and written care instructions before leaving. The only costs were the earrings ($30-50 for 14k gold) and the cleaning solution ($3). I'd definitely recommend this location for baby ear piercing.
