    uneven, rushed.

    did a walk in, waited, got rushed, got uneven piercings, vibe was okay tho. could've taken more time to make sure everything lined up right. i think it was kelly the main piercer.

    Little horseshoe tattoo by Selena.

    We had a great time here. We had a group get tattoos and the ladies were gems. Helpful and kind. Im sure we made their day also. Lol.

    Keloid backside view after Hole Thing removed the pricing they did crooked
    Jacqueline V.

    I was a walk in for an ear cartilage piercing and it was done by an apprentice of the owner. She was really nervous seeming, shakey and sweaty. It never healed right and looked crooked. Followed piercing healing protocol (I've had many piercings and know how to take care of them) and it developed a keloid because it was crooked. Went to a different piercer to get her opinion and she agreed it was crooked. Came back to Hole Thing to show them it was done wrong. The owner wasn't there so someone else looked at it and told me it was done crooked and that she personally never lets apprentices pierce her clients. She took it out for me and gave me the owners number so I could ask for a refund. Never answered my phone calls and when I came back twice, staff took a message for me but no one ever responded and no one could process a refund. Do NOT recommend. Waste of money, time and had a hole put in my body incorrectly causing me more pain than necessary because it wasn't healing.

    right ear (fine)

    TERRIBLE!!! I went about 4 months ago to get my triples pierced. Offer no selection of jewelry and left me with a cheap looking stud. Might I add overpriced as heck. Here's the kicker though, my right piercing was fine, even, and lined up with the rest. My left ear was dotted fine, but when I went to go change my jewelry about 2 months later after it appeared to heal, the piercing on my left ear was almost down to the edge of my lobe. Not only is it ugly, poor work, and inconvenient, I simply cannot wear jewelry in it because it feels like it'll tear my lobe! DO NOT COME HERE. Try 'Til Death' instead, right up the street and much better people and quality of piercing

    I was really happy with the services provided everyone was really nice and they even took me as a walk in appointment with me and my cousin. Marcus and his wife are very nice and patient also keep in mind I'm not great with pain and they were very patient with me. I love my work! Will definitely come in again

    Got my first nose piercing. I love it! It was quick virtually painless and I'm going back to get my permanent stud put in. Highly recommend getting pierced here!

    Had an amazing experience with Anchor Rose Tattoo from start to finish…read more Called in and the gentleman who answered the phone was kind and very professional. I told him what I was looking to get and where I wanted my tattoo located. He asked questions and after that found the artist best for what I was looking for. Being I wanted black and gray he suggested Som. Set up an appointment for like a week out and asked if I'd drop of a deposit. Finally came the day to get my tattoo, I met with Som and we went over my tattoo I let him know it was for my sister, and he came up with a bad ass design and her nick name. Som is a super cool dude and even with a guy with anxiety put me at ease and we chopped it up during the tattoo. The rest of the staff were super friendly as well. Once Som was done I was blown away by his work, even a day later I keep looking at his work and and super happy. I have plenty of tattoos on me, and Soms work stands out. I showed my sister and she definitely wants to come in when she's in town. I will definitely be back, the rest of the staff was friendly as well, everyone at least said hi as I walked by.

    I have been wanting to get my nose pierced for quite a while. I have had both nostrils pierced…read morebefore, among many other piercings from when I was younger. But it's been over 10 years since I've had a piercing and I was really anxious about it. I'm part of a local moms group on Facebook, and when the question is always posed for a good piercer in town, everyone always raves about Karissa at Avenue tattoo and how awesome and good she is at piercing!!! So I knew that's who I wanted to go to!! I've been toying with the idea for months but keep chickening out. But yesterday, I decided on a whim to go there so I just walked in. She was busy at the moment doing another piercing but the front desk girl was able get me in an hour later so I just went to target and shopped around while I was waiting. I was super nervous and anxious about it but she was so kind, calm and welcoming. She's also just a super cool person and easy to talk to, so it was a good distraction while she was getting everything ready. She was very gentle , clean and thorough. Explaining the process and everything she was doing as she was doing it. Her calm, welcoming personality really helped my anxiousness and ease my mind. She did the piercing and it was SO quick, barely hurt!! She put the jewelry in and I was done. She explained the healing and care process very thoroughly. The whole process from walking in, to paying and leaving, was 15mins tops!!! Prices are very reasonable! Basic jewelry was included with price but I paid a little extra for a gem. I'll go back in 2 months to see how it looks/if it's healing good and change the length of the bar if needed. I highly recommend Karissa to anyone who wants a piercing!!! she also does younger kiddos ears too!! I'd totally take my young daughter to her in a heartbeat if she wanted her ears pierced!!! She is the BEST in town!!!! Thank you Karissa!!!!!

My skin started to swell and I went in to get it changed to a longer bar and they said that they were not able to change the bar because they had multiple other appointments which I understand, however, the next day my piercing ended up inside of my ear which resulted in a lot more pain that could have been avoided.

We arrived in this super low key spot in Sebastopol. I immediately was drawn to the aesthetics inside. Jess was welcoming and really nice. Jess covered the procedure and aftercare in detail. We picked out jewelry. They have a bunch of options. We wanted gold. I went with a cute piece from this brand Juniper that's made in Canada that composed of a cluster with opal and CZ for my double helix. Every purchase they plant a juniper. Loved that. From this visit, I found out that an orbital consists of two piercings and decided to go with one. It's all I could take. My girlfriend chose hers, super cute crescent moon for her conch. Within 30 mins we were off and ready to go. Jess sent us home with saline sprays. Unfortunately, my ear ended up swelling and it was super painful for a couple days. I contacted Jess and she changed my post to give more room. No infection, my ear is back to normal. Super grateful Jess was able to see me. Whatever you do, don't touch your piercing and be careful of snagging. An irritated piercing isn't necessarily an infected one. I'm looking forward to getting more piercings! Jess is someone to trust in getting one done with care and comfort. Super happy and more than satisfied we came here.
