Nice people but not experienced piercers. I went in here to get my ear pierced and the guy was super nice but pierced my ear in the wrong place! I asked for the daith and he pierced the rook. When I went back he took it out and pierced my ear in the right place, and gave me back the $10 tip I left for him. He also told me I could switch out the earring in 4 days which is not at all standard for piercing aftercare. They wouldn't refund me when I asked for 100% or even 50% back for their error. They said if I'm willing to pay for the needle and clamp used in the process, they'd give me my money back. Pretty ridiculous to ask the customer to pay for their mistake. I have never left a bad review in my life but don't feel good about customer care or professionalism at this place.

Got a tattoo there today. John was awesome! He was flexible in his scheduling, and he was super helpful. In fact, he helped fix the design, and it turned out better than I thought it could. Extremely satisfied!

I just got my Medusa pierced by Wesley and had to take it out a few hours later. He was very friendly and kind while piercing my lip, but after it was done I noticed it was very crooked. I commented on it, but he assured me it was just because of the swelling and the entry point. I paid him and left the shop. Then I very quickly noticed, after looking very closely in excitment, that it was for sure pierced in the wrong spot- a couple millimeters left of the center. I went back immediately to get it taken out to reduce scarring.. he got VERY defensive saying I didn't know what I was talking about and that his "3 or 4" years of experience shouldn't be overlooked. He took it out, not at all as gentle as he was when he pierced it, and only gave me half my money back. He wouldn't even give me sterlized napkins to wipe the blood.. he told me to use the toilet paper in the bathroom. And finally, I left with an Aloha and his only response was a role of the eyes.

Charlie was our tattoo artist. He did a great job. I'm amazed with the outcome of my tat. He has a very great personality, attitude and is very respectful.

Call to confirm availability, once earlier in the day and once later, both times we were told to come in, that they had multiple artists available. Both times after showing up promply we were turned away because no artist was available. Basically gave us the runaround and was a waste of time and gas. Dont claim to be available if you are not. Not cool.
