I would not recommend coming here for a piercing. I came in with a friend and the piercer wasn’t wearing gloves, and also didn’t WASH HER HANDS after piercing my friend before trying to pierce me. Ew. We obviously stopped her and asked her to do so. She didn’t mark the position and let us check if we were ok with it. She didn’t ask what nostril I wanted pierced before trying to come at my nose with a needle. When we asked about after care instructions she said “whatever feels right for your body” WHAT?? I quickly called another shop to ask for their advice but long story short, don’t go here.

Got a triple helix and my girl got her septum. Grace was amazing. Very professional and very satisfied.

I will never go back to this place. I went to get my septum and a regular nostril piercing done. She did the nostril first and it went fine, when she did the septum she pierced it threw and started shoving the needle threw the other side of my nostril, she didn’t even notice until I said something and then she proceeded to blame me and said she couldn’t see the needle because my nose was too small. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Was recommended by my husband’s friend, love my piercings; clean, fast, and professional. Ask for Kaylee, she listens and gives good advice as well.

My son and I impulsively decided to get tattoos today. Very accommodating. We walked in with no appointment necessary and were cared for right away. Great atmosphere, the shop staff are so friendly and talented. Especially Matt who inked us. Thanks all, we will be back!!

Went in with about four friends and we all wanted simple tattoos or piercings. Initially we were all really impressed with the work and the attitude of the workers. I got two small dog head outlines on the back of my calf that I was super excited for. However, now that mine has healed, it is very easy to see that the lines are not only uneven with the other dog, but the line thickness is not consistent on either of them! I wish it had been a little better done because they were so kind and their place was clean, inviting, etc.

The first time I went to get 2 very small (2"x2") tattoos and waited up to two hours. Tommy gave me ZERO after care, it ended up turning into a scab (which isn't supposed to happen) and when it fell off, layers of ink were gone. Luckily, I have one free touch-up but after talking to other people I was told I'm supposed to have free for-life touchups. I do plan on going to get my touch up soon, but in the meantime I got two new piercings. Only after I left and the area that got pierced got swollen, I realized that the ring she gave me was TINY. I know nothing about piercings but I do know that they oversize the heck out of jewelry when they pierce you, to allow room for swelling. I'm not sure why she thought this was the right size. Literally my skin around the piercing is swallowing the ring. AND ON TOP OF THIS.... not a single employee wore masks. They just blatantly did not care about the fact that COVID is higher then its ever been. I do not recommend this place.

I've gotten 3 tattoos here, all done by Tommy. The experience was great and the art is stellar. I've brought friends and family with me and will be recommending and sending more people their way. As well as setting up my next appointment. Thanks guys!

I made an appointment here to get my boyfriend a surprise tattoo. We came out of town to get it, only to be told when we got there that our artist had been home sick for a couple days and our appointment was cancelled. We hadn’t been told in advance. Another artist worked on a sketch for us and told us he’d text us later that night to reschedule for the next day. He never did, so I messaged Southpointe on facebook the next day. Someone told us they had to “talk to someone” to figure out an appointment time for us. They never got back to us about it. Over all, we are just disappointed by the unprofessionalism here.
