Got a nose piercing back on 10/2 and my piercer was so amazing and made it so smooth for me! Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent experience all the way around!
My family and I were in town for the weekend and 3 of us decided to get some matching tattoos!! We called and set our consultation for Saturday at 3:30 and by 12:30 on Sunday my Dad was in the chair getting his first ink ever!! David and Lex were outstanding and helped make this a very cool and well organized forever moment!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

They did a fantastic job with my piercing. Moon was friendly, knowledgeable, and put me at ease answering all of my questions. I highly recommend Moon and Emerald Buddha Tatoo.

Great experience! My friend and I were walk-ins, just wanted to see if they were available. It was meant to be! They squeezed us in and were so cool about it.
Justin did a great job. Very friendly and professional. He checked in with me through out the session to make sure I was comfortable. My tattoo came out great :) I’m very pleased! I’d recommend these guys to anyone in the Galena area. Thank you for everything :)

Dave was fantastic to work with and did beautiful tattoos on my friend and I. He is a very skilled artist and made our time there a lot of fun. My friend also got a piercing and had a wonderful experience with the piercer who was gentle and knowledgeable. Everyone there was extremely friendly. The place is very clean and comfortable. You won’t regret going.

My daughter and I wanted to get matching piercings to commemorate her high school graduation and turning 18 (yes, it's more common to get matching tattoos....and I'm allergic to tattoo ink). We had heard good things about EB's sister shop, Ye Olde Tattoo Shop in Platteville, and when I called them, we were instead referred to Emerald Buddha. They just happened to be hosting a walk-in event 4 days later, so we made a plan. As soon as my daughter was done with track practice, we headed south. Unfortunately, the piercing walk-ins had been insane already during the day, so supplies were low. The staff and especially the owner were very apologetic and helpful in assisting us to figure out our alternatives, and we were successfully pierced.
Moon was very friendly, willing to answer all questions (and I'm pretty chatty), and very professional. She took pains to ensure that every item/liquid used was not on my very long list of allergies, and she explained the process more than once, including as she was doing her work.
I will definitely return to Emerald Buddha if I choose to get pierced again and recommend it highly!
