I had a piercing done and the manager was disrespectful and rude. The piercer was aggressive and spoke to me in a harsh manner and never provided aftercare for my piercing I do not recommend coming here ever!!

I love this place, they have some of the best people I ever met.I highly recommend for anyone to come here if you need ink or piercings or people to just talk to.I feel so welcomed and I’m treated like family. Sometimes I stop by for an occasional hello.

I got my septum pierced... IT'S CROOKED!! It looks stupid. The piercer wasn't very friendly either. I'm upset and my boyfriend is mad because we waited over a hour for unfriendly service and a CROOKED piercing. I also never got care info in my email like i was told. Won't go back here again.

I went to get my doubles and my cartilage / helix pierced. Chris did it and he did a wonderful job! I could tell he really knew what he was doing and I was a little nervous but he really helped make me feel calm! Everyone there was very nice and willing to help! He explained everything he was doing while he was doing the piercings and I felt very comfortable the whole time. I would definitely recommend going there for piercings.

I have gotten both my nose and belly button piercing done at expo and both have been all around amazing experiences. From the friendly mannerisms from the piercer and employees in the store to helping me with my piercing problems, I will always suggest going her to my friends and family members due to such a warm and comfortable environment. Wouldn’t go anywhere else to get any future piercings done!!

I’ve never had a piercing before. When my wife called the phone was immediately picked up and provided the information we needed. The piercer Chris was amazing. He did a great job at calming my anxiety, fast, and provided me with info to take care of the new piercing at home. 5/5

Got my belly pierced and the guy and girl are Awesome ! Went back for an alleric reaction and he switched it out for free and told me to come back in a week if it doesn't get better . This is the best, most caring piercing place ! I recommend this place if I could 100 star rate it I would !

This place is HORRIBLE! I went in with my daughter to get her pierced and they said the piercer was not available, but to me we could pre-pay and they would call us. They gave us a $5 discount for the trouble and told us if we found someone to do it sooner, they would refund the money. I came back in today (one day later) and was told they would NOT Issue a refund and acted like I was lying. The woman at the counter just called the manager who said no refund would be issued, even though their employee said it would be. They told me that the person who told me this shouldn't have and that I signed a waiver saying I would forfeit a refund. COMPLETELY RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL!! DO NOT RECOMMEND!!
