Had my lower helix pierced here and the piercer (whose name I sadly forgot) not only told me she pierced it wrong but was extremely rough with the needle still in my ear. This piercing never healed. I also had my helix repierced at the same time which came out fine but has never fully healed. The tattoo I received here was great and healed within a few days.
update 10/31: neither piercing healed despite me properly taking care of them and resulted in a large knot of scar tissue.

Went there to get my daughters nose pierced for her birthday. Clean environment, great atmosphere and every employee had a positive attitude. Will definitely hit them up for my next tattoo.

Lyric handled my first tattoo so professionally. Cleaned throughly after previous guest's appointment, redid stencil until it was just right, and made everything feel comfortable. Clean shop with friendly artists!

Had one small issue on my visit, talked to the owner Greg, he went above and beyond to fix it and make sure,I was satisfied. He was very easy to talk to and just had a great attitude about everything and I know his apology was sincere. They really do have high standards at this shop and he makes sure they keep them. I am very pleased with that, b/c some shops wouldn't care, but The Studio is all about satisfied customers and really do keep their word . I am very pleased with them. They have amazing artist. And Miriam she is a piercer, she is awesome, years of experience, sweet as can be, very friendly, makes you feel very comfortable she changed out the ring in my daith piercing. I would highly recommend The Studio to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing!!!😊

Took a while before anyone acknowledged me. Once they did everything was great. Friendly and polite. Very large place for a tattoo and piercing place. Miriam did a great job on my piercing (labret). She was fast, clean, and thorough. Made sure it was placed just like I wanted it. Thought I would try here because of all the piercer reviews were good. Plan on being back for my brow.

Lady who did piercing was very nice and explained everything she was gonna do before she did it. Everything was sanitized and clean. She answered all of our questions and made it a great experience. I would def recommend to someone who is getting their first tattoo or piercing. We will def be going back.

Miriam is hands down an awesome piercer! She’s done multiple piercings for me, most recently reopening my septum. She’s super generous with her time and makes sure that you are comfortable. Getting a new piercing can be nerve racking for easily scared people like me, but she is so friendly and considerate. I only ever go to her

Went to get my first piercing for my 18th birthday and the piercer was soo good! She explained everything too me and saw I was I nervous and helped me through it. Once the piercing was done I passed out at the register 😂 once I woke up the piercer was holding me and the checkout lady was very nice! They got me a bottle of soda to help my blood sugar go back up , great experience and great staff. Will definitely come back

Several of the staff looked at me and ignored me as I stood at tha register waiting to be greeted. They are not African American friendly here it seems 🤷♀️ The rumors are indeed true. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. EDIT: Since owner was disgusting enough to be verbally rude instead of apologizing. Let me clarify something. I have no affiliation with any other shop and don't know personally ANYONE that does tattoos. The shop was not busy, there was not a single sole that appeared to be a customer. The entire staff took one look at me and ignored me. They were sitting on the sofa chatting. I gain nothing from being honest.
