Do not go here if you're looking to deal with someone reasonable and intelligent. I came in to get my naval pierced. Ken, who does all the piercings, was overly sexual and completely rude and inappropriate with my friend and I while doing the piercing. He did not follow his own guideline dot when piercing me and as a result my piercing was crooked. The jewelry fell out on the first night and he refused to give me a refund when I came in again the next day to tell him I was dissatisfied with his service. He verbally harassed me and threw out several sexist comments before demanding that I leave his shop when I informed him I would be filing a complaint with the BBB and DeKalb chamber of commerce. The guy is a tool and it was the worst experience I've ever had getting a piercing and dealing with another human being.

I finally got my nose pierced. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the piercer who's personality, and customer service was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Thank you times a million! Will be back for my next piercing!

Got my first tattoo done by Justin after looking at several other shops in the area and I'm glad I went with Out on a Whim. The staff is super friendly and professional. My wife and I won't be going anywhere else for all our future work.

Nice shop! Like some in town they don't make you feel out of place. I am from out of town and had a piercing jewelry emergency and they were very polite and able to help me out with what I needed!

Kayla is THE BEST and I swear it. You will not find a better artist with more talent... ANYWHERE... I drive over y hours to have her tattoo me. WORTH IT! No one is touching what she does, not even close.
