I had done some research on helix piercings, trying to find the best business to get my piercing…read moredone and how long recovery would take. I had read review after review of how amazing Amy was and when I went to book with her, I noticed she was booked a month or two out. While it took me about 4 years to get up the nerve to get my helix pierced, I am really glad Amy was my piercer. My sister and I decided to get our left ears pierced at the helix. Because my ears are significantly smaller than hers, I chose an 18K white gold star. She chose a much bigger earring with a beautiful 18k white gold butterfly. She loves the butterfly but has stated that she wished she got a smaller earring initially. She wears glasses and states that sometimes the stem of the glasses hits her earring and causes some discomfort for awhile. And we noticed that when we took our masks off, the ear loops caught on the back of the earring, so just be cautious of that. Amy explained everything thoroughly to us and answered all of my millions of questions. She used an 18 gauge needle and showed us how she sanitized the needle and the earring. Honestly, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. While it did hurt, I can honestly state that I preferred a needle over the piercing guns. To make sure that we were satisfied with the location of the helix piercing, she marked on our ears to show us what it would look like. We were able to look in a mirror and she adjusted it accordingly, as we saw fit. Before piercing our helixes, she used a light behind our helix area to make sure there were no blood vessels along that area. She stated that that can be the difference of bleeding a lot or bleeding very little. She thoroughly cleansed the area and allowed it to air dry completely. I am much more comfortable if I can exhale when someone sticks me; and not only did she state that that's what she does with everyone, she also allowed me to hold the mirror to watch as she stuck me. She shared detailed instructions on how to properly care for our ears and that it will probably take a year to completely heal. We didn't need to twist the earring around; but after a shower, spray the wound care on the front and back of the earring, to remove any residue. The very first day, our ears were a little red and swollen; but by the second day, the swelling had gone down tremendously and it hardly bothered us. 10 days later and our piercings are still doing fabulous!! I 100% recommend Amy!! I was willing to drive from Lexington KY to Louisville KY to get this done. And I am so happy that I drove the distance. One thing I would like to add, parking is behind the building and it isn't really marked very well. But I was able to match the street number to their address. Park and walk around to the front of the building and call the number on the door to let them know you are there. They have masks if you forget to bring your mask and want everyone to wear one.

Walked into a Uncle Bob's and was pleasantly greeted by staff and Uncle Bob himself. (I will disclose that I have known Bob since first grade, but had not seen him in over 38 years). Their piercer is in every day they are open (go figure). He was honest and didn't have the materials I need to fix my jewelry piece and says he didn't want to attempt to replace it with something else because my ear was irritated. Here comes the best part of businesses I love. The piercer referred me to another tattoo and piercing shop. Businesses who realize their limitations and take the best interest of a potential customer are truly the best. They were not afraid to lose business and genuinely cared.

Honestly the best shop in the entire area. One visit and you'll never want to go anywhere else.

You're not going to find a better piercing shop in the entirety of Louisville or SoIn. Can't recommend enough.

I had been looking forward to getting my ears pierced with my cousin for months. I had been looking…read moreat their website and knew that in order to get an appointment, that you had to call day of as close to noon as possible. So I did that, I called at 12:10, the person that answered was not helpful. They asked what they could do for me after not saying anything after picking up for phone for ten seconds, and I said that I wanted to make an appointment for my cousin and I. She was silent for many seconds and then said that they don't take appointments, walk-ins only. I was confused because on the website it said appointment only, and to call at noon to make an appointment. So I was like I guess they changed their policy. I drove over 30 minutes to get there, and when I walked in I was declined service because they do not take walk-ins. The lady that "helped" us could not have cared less, even when I told her what the worker had said to me. I suggested that she have a talk with the workers because, and I quote from her, "This happens all the time". How can your workers not know what to do in situations like this, especially when policy is on the website and likely have people in everyday for piercings. So she said try calling again tomorrow. So my aunt called them at 12:04 today, the following day, to get our name on the list to call back and make our appointment at 1. They called her back and said they were fully booked up for the day, and would only be able to have an appointment for one at 1 o'clock, which was the time that they called her back. The lady was rude, and not helpful, they clearly do not care about helping people or getting business so do not go here. There are plenty of other great places to go with much nicer and more helpful people. The management clearly seems to be lacking, so don't waste your time, money, or gas to try and go here.

There have been a few times where I have come in to get new jewelry (went to the beach and the waves literally unscrewed my piercings..) and all of those interactions have been pleasant, including Zoe just giving me some of the little ball thingies. I went again in March 2023 to get my bridge done. Once again, Zoe did a visibly very good job, and it was a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, he did not actually do a fantastic job. He put in a curved bar instead of a straight one. For reference, you are supposed to use straight bars for bridge piercings, to prevent them from tearing or rejecting. I was, however, advised by other piercing shops and people with more experience than me to leave it in until in healed, so I did. A couple months go by, and it healed up fine. Not the best, there were some times I would wake up and there would be a little bit of blood caked on the piercing, but it was visibly good. I ended up going to a music show at the Whirling Tiger, and got hit in the face in the pit, tearing the piercing a tiny bit (I would like to state this one is entirely on me, and it would have likely torn even if it was a straight bar). It wasn't too bad, and I kept it clean so it could heal fine. Time went by and it just didn't heal, because the shape of the bar was causing too much movement. I eventually went to Artfully Insane to have it looked at, since they are right by my home. They were honestly shocked at it. Not only was the wrong type of bar put in, it was apparently hand bent. Basically, there was a 100% chance of it getting torn, by the shape alone, but because of the imperfections in the curve, it was a miracle it had not been rejected or gotten infected. I really wish I thought to get a picture of the jewelry before the man in there threw it away. I now will have to wait two months to get it repeirced, while this heals. There is a chance now, too, that I can't get it repeirced for a while or even ever, just because there is a chance of abnormal scarring because of the imperfections in the bar. I am not giving them the lowest score, because aside from this, my experiences have been fine. Zoe is a very nice guy, he did a great job on my septum, everything is affordable, people are friendly, etc. etc. etc. My last experience was not fantastic, so maybe find another place for surface piercings.

You aren't allowed to record anything in there and the room was not very welcoming. I went in for a conch piercing and left with a hoop in the wrong spot. I don't know a whole lot about piercing but you most certainly don't pierce with a needle and cork and stick a hoop in there. It was very painful and she gave me very poor advice for how to clean it and take care of it. After doing research on why it hurt so bad I figured out getting a hoop is highly discouraged as it makes the healing process super difficult. The front desk worker was very nice and helpful and I can not speak for the tattoo part of this shop but the piercing is awful. You definitely get what you pay for here. Go to Mythos instead.
