My friend Nikki has been wanting her nose pierced for months now but couldn't find a legitimate place to get it done. Finally, I talked to my friend Tasha who recommended Inkorporated Tattoo Studio to me. She said she got her nose pierced there and it was a breeze. I called them up for my friend and they got us right in. Their piercer, Jeff, takes walk ins from 4-8pm everyday. When I called it was around 1pm and he wasn't in yet, but they called him up and he swung right over to do my friends piercing. No hassle. It was so easy. They are very accommodating. Jeff was awesome. My friend was a little nervous about the piercing but he walked her through step by step. He was so chill, friendly, and awesome! The vibes are so awesome at this place. They even have a dog Remy who is absolutely beauuutiiifullll! They also do some amazing tattoo work. Check out the pictures. I wouldn't go anywhere else in central new York for a piercing or tattoo. This place is legit. Check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed!!!

Just park on the street- the door to the shop is to the left of a small restaurant, right next to Genesee Tower. This shop is a combination of a tattoo and metaphysical shop. I spoke with both owners. It was a fun conversation. I learned a little back history about Covet. I did miss the tarot card reader. She has specific hours that she is there, and you can make an appointment. Great energy in the spot. There's a nice selection of jewelry, books, clothing, crystals and stones, beauty products, and oracle and tarot cards. The examples of tattoos showed great artistry. I did talk about pricing and availability. Currently Jae has their books open. They also have body piercing available to book. Don't miss out on visiting the shop if you're down in Bagg's Square!
