Amazing experience getting two piercings done by Jennifer! Very professional, super clean and safe environment. Have no doubt my piercings will heal with no problems!

This place is awesome! Jenn made the piercing experience great. I was super nervous going in for the piercing and she put me at ease immediately. She thoroughly explained after care and made me feel more than comfortable through the whole process. Can’t wait to go back!

Best daaang piercing experience I have ever had - this was twenty for me (and my first gauge up). Thank you Jen & Heather. 🙃

There is no other shop to even consider. Heather Ruin has done 3 of my tattoos and Jenn Sumo has done 4 of my piercings. As a healthcare professional, I am so impressed with the level of sanitary practices and use of personal protection equipment (PPE) that is practiced here. I could go into further detail but it would get really boring, so just trust me that they go above and beyond to protect you and themselves.
They both have great knowledge in their fields. Jenn has helped me pick out the right jewelry each time because I have allergies to certain materials. She has helped me almost end a lifelong battle with migraines with my Daith piercing. And, for people who doubt this, my Neurologist is the one who introduced the idea and wrote a prescription for me to get it (Insurance won't cover it. But my job needed documentation that it was medically necessary.) If you have migraines, please call Jenn! She is so knowledgeable about this.
And, as for the talented Heather Ruin, there is no one else's art that I want on me. She is so brilliantly artistic that it is insane. You can take her an idea and she can magically bring it to life. I'm excited to begin working with her on our fourth tattoo idea.
Attached are two of the tattoos she created for me. My semi colon butterfly and my sweet Hedwig. **Update** For some reason, my pictures aren't showing here but if you want to see Heather's work you can click on my name at the top of this review. They are attached to this review there. If anyone knows how I can get them to show in my review here, please let me know.
Heather and Jenn,
Thank you both for all the pain and laughs you have given me these past few years. I adore and respect you both so much.

I went to Man's Ruin yesterday to get my rook pierced. I had never gotten a professional piercing before, and Jenn made the experience wonderful from start to end! She does a great job of putting you at ease and talks to you like a friend. They have a lovely selection of beautiful handcrafted jewelry. I loved that she thoroughly explained the jewelry and took the time to help me choose which size would fit best in my ear. Jenn is extremely quick and professional in her work, the actual piercing took her only SECONDS and was practically painless!
I will most certainly be back for all future piercings :)
Thank you!!
P.S. Jenn also gives wonderful ice cream recommendations!

They were amazing to my wife and I! We came in looking for matching tattoos, when we got engaged. They helped us size the images, and did them both on the spot. Didn't even have to set up an appointment. I highly recommend the place! Great artists, and kind people!!

Great atmosphere. Very professional and super clean. They take all precautions and that is very much appreciated! Friendly business. The work these ladies do is superb. I've been coming to Man's Ruin for almost 20 years. Heather Rocks! Down to earth and you'll never be disappointed.

My fav place to go for all piercing needs! Jenn is so funny and comforting. You will feel as if you’ve known her your whole life when talking to her! I felt very safe and there was never any judgement with anything. Love these ladies
