Called a few days later cause I thought it was too swollen and needed a longer bar, came in to get checked and she seemed irritated that I didn't when all I wanted to do was make sure since I paid for this piercing and it's also prone to rejecting anyways lol I called again to figure out the size of bar I had so I could order some for when I'm healed. Didn't know the answer , couldn't help me , I felt embarrassed so I haven't tried to ask them anything since again, they are not welcoming. (Also the old lady with short grey hair was drinking a beer while doing tattoos lol)

From the moment I walked into the shop I was welcomed and helped immediately and felt very comfortable. The waiting area is spacious and they even have snacks! Not to mention how gorgeous the entire shop is, loved the whole vibe and decor. The owner Madii has done several of my other piercings in the past as well as my daughter's ears. Hands down the best shop! **as far as a lot of people saying they're expensive, when the girly up front asked what I was looking for I said I'm on a budget and she immediately took me to a whole section with lots of options!!!

Decided to get a piercing last minute and they were able to accommodate me. Communicated and booked…read morevia text, which was very convenient. The person communicating with me was knowledgeable and patient enough to answer my questions/concerns. The place was a little chaotic with different tattoo artists in one place attending to their own customers/clients. There is, however, 2 people that would welcome and direct you where to go and that's very helpful. The person who did my piercing was very friendly and made sure to explain the process before, during and after (e.g. how to take care of my piercing so it heals properly). A couple of weeks later from the time I got my ear pierced, it got so swollen that my skin swallowed the stud and I had to pull it out last night. It might be a user error but that was so painful and I would not want to put myself through that pain again. LOL!

I took my wife in to get a few piercings done, and I was really impressed with the whole…read moreexperience. The place was clean, organized, and ran very efficiently. The piercer definitely has a direct, no-nonsense personality, which I could see might not be for everyone, but honestly it gave me confidence that he knows exactly what he's doing. He worked quickly and smoothly. I've seen piercings done before that seemed slow and uncomfortable, but this was the opposite. It was fast, precise, and over before my wife even had time to react. She had multiple piercings done, including a flat and a small constellation placement, and they turned out great. Everything looks really well balanced and thoughtfully placed, not random at all. What stood out to me was how thorough the aftercare instructions were. He made sure she understood exactly how to take care of them and even mentioned things like being careful while washing her hair, which we wouldn't have thought about. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend him. If you want someone experienced, efficient, and focused on doing it right, this is the kind of place you go.
