I got two piercings done here for my birthday. A daith and a tragus. The piercer was very nice and talked me through the process. I am happy with the service and the results. The only negative is that my sister could not accompany me back there due to COVID-19. Nonetheless, the staff was pleasant šŸ˜Š

I went in for a walk in. I told them the tattoo I wanted and I was told it wouldnā€™t be a long wait. 2 more people went before me even though I was there first. I waited 3 hours and still didnā€™t get my tattoo. Then I saw a lady show a picture to an artist and the tattoo was tiny and he said it would be $80. What an absolute joke.

The person that did the piercing of my nose was amazing and I would go back.. he was very informative about my piercing on the things I needed to do before I even received the paper with the instructions.

Cara was AMAZING! So soothing and put us all at ease throughout the entire process. Best piercing experience I have ever had. Such a sweet and loving person! Plus sheā€™s beautiful! Inside and out šŸ˜

Got my nose pierced a week ago by Cara. She was amazing. Helped me with my anxiety over the piercing and it was such an amazing expierence! Sheā€™s awesome, highly recommend going to her! Also, the guy who sat up front and checked me in was super nice and talked to me and my friend the whole time. The overall experience was great! Will for sure go back to get a tattoo or another piercing.

The tattoo artists are awesome and very artistic they know exactly what theyā€™re doing itā€™s money worth because of the interesting body art that you could choose from in a book they will make it look so alive in order for your new tattoo to be an eye catcher. I would definitely choose this place to get some ink. Their tattoo artwork is outstanding keeps people coming back for more and am one of them. Keep up the good work.

Went there yesterday 7/22 and they were super busy but understandably so. Caleb did a great job with my tattoo and my friend got two piercings that looked great too. Very happy with my experience and will be back

I came into this shop while I was in town for a few days to get a small letter tattoo done on my wrist and so my friend could get a tattoo dedicated to his parent. An artist named Joe tattooed me. His attitude was nothing short of terrible, and his ego was delusional. He shut down my original idea and told me he would be unable to do it because the tattoo was too small... Which makes no sense considering he has "over 11 years of experience." He drew up a design I actually liked and that fit my style so I ended up getting it, his line work was great and I really do like the tattoo... the problem I do have is that I asked him to fill in a spot on the tattoo that he missed and finish a line he had missed and he told me not to worry about it and to not look to close because "Nothing is perfect." I am going to have to get it touched up by my artist in my hometown. I paid him for the tattoo and then my friend was greeted by him.

My buddy wanted his first tattoo dedicated to his parents, just a simple anniversary date. Joe said his idea was "Stupid" and that it wouldn't make a good tattoo. I was sitting there listening to him spit out utter bullsh*t to my friend for a good 15 minutes. He then drew up a classic Heart with a ribbon that said Mom and Dad that looked like the stereotypical biker tat. I'm assuming that's just his style but the idea was terrible. I then told my friend we should leave and I am going to take him to my artist in our home town that has done my sleeve and 4 other pieces on top of that. I have never once heard a tattoo artist shut someone down and tell them their idea is stupid. it was so unbelievably disrespectful and it made my friend feel unwelcome in the shop. That type of person is what gives tattoo artists and shops a bad name. I would be willing to give someone else a chance but Joe is not someone I would recommend to you.

Lastly, I am not someone to bash on someones work and or their shop. This is something I have never done before but honestly I really felt like I should leave a review. I hope you all benefit from my advice. Sucks I have such a meaningful word on my arm tattooed by someone who doesn't give a damn.

I got pierced a few years ago. Honestly it hurt sooo bad for a very long time even water hurt!! The piercer he was amazing and I hurt for the first few days. However water didnā€™t kill me when facing it the pain has subsided!! He knows what he is doing and I honestly expected to be sore for the next year ! Amen it only lasted a few days. It is important to have a knowledgeable piercer for this simple fact. I donā€™t think you should ever have to hurt for a full year! Iā€™m happy I took my last one out and went here to have them redone.

Jenna Ensor

Cara pierced my daith and my flat cartilage! Both were $65, which is very reasonable! She was the best! Did a great job explaining the process and made me feel at east the entire time. Her coworker (donā€™t know his name) that checked me in was also super nice! Overall super impressed and will go back if I ever want something else done. šŸ˜
