My boyfriend and I wanted to get our septum’s pierced, so naturally, we chose this place based on great reviews and pictures. We were not disappointed. Everyone was so friendly, and our piercer, Selina, made us feel very welcome and was friendly as can be. The place was clean and lively. This is definitely going to be my new piercing place and will be coming back soon!

I recieved a piercing this weekend along with one friend, and the other two friends got tattoos. the service was great and our piercer really made sure we were comfortable and calmed us down before performing the nose piercing. Mine is healing great so far and I can hardly feel it. My two friends who got their tattoos are satisfied and it looks great. It was a good walk in and I am glad I stopped by.
Thanks!

My experience at Steady was AMAZING! I got my tattoo today, it was my very first one. I got a rib piece done, and was actually pretty scared. The tattoo artist, Craig, was absolutely fantastic. I had friends come in there with me, but only one could be in there at a time. And he did so well helping me and helping them talk at me rather than with me. And all that was on top of an amazing tattoo that I absolutely love! Highly recommend!

This is my go to shop. Period. Both Selina and the current piercing apprentice Raechelle are top notch. They are so thorough, thoughtful, considerate, and pleasant to work with. I have seen Selina on multiple occasions for a handful of ear piercings. They explain the entire process, such as temporary jewelry for healing and installing a more ornate forever piece once the piercing is healed, how sizing works for temporary swelling, how to treat and heal my piercing most effectively. They always make me feel heard, understood and treated with care, especially with long term piercing goals in mind. The last time I went in Raechelle had changed out my jewelry on healed piercings I had temporary jewelry in and they had extended the same high caliber of service. I have plans to continue coming here through the years and highly recommend Selina and Raechelle for all and every piercing need.

Do not go here for piercings! They require you to by in-house studs and rings, the majority is "surgical steel" which they recommended to me. Surgical steel is basically a marketing term and does not hold any medical standard. Surgical steel should not be used in fresh piercings, especially if this is your first piercing. If Steady Tattoo was a reputable place, they would use gold or titanium in fresh piercings.

I went to Steady Tattoo for my first piercing 6 months ago not knowing a lot about piercings. They pierced my ears with surgical steel studs. I went back in four months later saying that my piercings were still sore and were not healing even though I was doing the proper after-care. The male piercer completely discounted my concerns and told me piercings could take 6 months to heal.

I waited until 6 months and the piercings still had not healed. I finally went to my doctor who said that I likely have a metal allergy (for most people this is nickle) and that is why my piercing never closed and was irritated. My doctor also inspected my studs and said that they did not appear to be 100% stainless steel. Most surgical steel has about 10% nickle, which could have been causing this adverse reaction.

I was scared but the artist who did my nostril piercing Selina, did a fantastic Job. She was great, she calm me by explaining the process to me and all. It was quick and didn't hurt. The girl in the front desk too was nice and helpful with the choice of jewelry. Overall I will recommend this place.

Steady is a great place to get a tattoo done, whether this be your first tattoo or one of many. I got my tattoo, a crow with cherry blossom branches on my side rib cage area, done by Jessie. She did phenomenal work and it only took around 3.5 hours total in two sessions. I had a design in mind that I explained to Jessie and she was able to draw up a design that I absolutely loved. The coloring done was amazing and I am completely satisfied! Jessie is a very professional and super nice artist. And the new studio has a great environment and is in a convenient location. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get a tattoo done, and I'd love to come back someday to get another tattoo done!

I've had 2 very good experiences at Steady Tattoo and Body piercing. The first time was when I got my chest piece done about 3 years ago. I remember the old shop being nice and as comforting as possible as I was getting my chest tattooed for 8 hours.
I recently stopped by Steady to get a piercing in anticipation for my wedding in October. I was hesitant about the healing time, but Blake was very helpful in informing me of the pros and cons of getting the piercing. He seemed honest and as though he was looking out for my best interest. I appreciated that. Nothing bugs me more than a salesman.
I ended up getting the piercing (obviously) and was pleased with how professional Blake was about it. He didn't rush me and took time to explain everything he was doing. He was matching a nostril piercing that I have on the other side of my nose, and I appreciated that he took the time to make sure that the new nostril piercing was pretty darn near perfect.
I'd definitely recommend Steady to anyone who is looking to get pierced or tattooed.

Best piercer ever! I walked in and saw Selena for a lip piercing. She did such a great job! The process was painless and I haven't had any swelling. I won't go anywhere else for piercing again!!!! I highly recommend steady tattoo for piercing and tattoo (I've also gotten a tattoo there and that was a great experience as well).

just had my nose (nostril) pierced by Selina and i’m so happy with my experience. she took the time to get the placement perfect & listened to my feedback. she is incredibly gentle with both removing/changing jewelry from healed piercings and administering new piercings. the best piercing experience i’ve ever had !
