I’ve been going here since I was 15 years old and I just love them they are very friendly and welcoming I’ve gotten all my piercings here from them ( I have 16 so far and wanting more ) and I have one tattoo I’ve got done from here also the pl e is very clean they always always use clean needles to pierce you and have gloves on. They are super fast and easy they also change your jewelry for you if you don’t want to change it yourself.

We had arrived 20 mins before close for 3 nose piercings. They got us all in with no issue! Dan was our piercer he was super friendly and fast! I’ve never been pierced so fast in my life barely felt it at all! I highly recommend for piercings never got a tattoo here so I can’t say anything about that!

Quick and easy (not rushed but I knew what I went for) experience. Female piercer was awesome and the male that changed me corkscrew stud into a hoop after 6 weeks was equally as awesome! My friend also went for a second hoop after because of the great experience and we are both pleased!!

I had been here before for a nose
piercing around last summer and had a good experience, however, i just went back today to get it pierced again (closed up lol), and continue to have such a great experience. i wanna say my piercers name today was morgan. she was super sweet, professional, and knowledgeable. She made sure the placement was okay before she pierced it, and even though i was familiar with the process, she still walked me through step by step what she was doing/going to do. the place is reasonably priced, and would recommend morgan to anybody looking to get a piercing. she’s my new favorite and will not go anywhere else!!

My daughter got her septum pierced here. Very professional told her what to expect how to take care of it. Only downfall they need to have a sign somewhere cash only because a lot of people deal with just there cards although they offer a atm certain cards seem not to like it. I'm not going to take anything away from the review for that because they were great with everything else. I loved their flash art they had on the walls and the cleanliness of the establishment. I have my own tattoo artist but may consider giving them a chance.

My FAVORITE place!!!!! The owner, Veronica is FANTASTIC!!! SUPER CLEAN shop. Brandon is awesome as well... great conversations and laughs. VERY accommodating. Dan is an awesome piercer. Receptionist are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and kind too. There's a reason South Side Tattoo has been in business so long and is the best. They do common things uncommonly well. Thanks, SST! 😊

My fiancé and I went to get her nose pierced. The shop was clean and we were greeted when we entered. Upon filling out the paperwork, the girl came to get us for a nose piercing. She asked about placement and gave a recommendation with a sharpie before piercing. Once agreed, it took no time at all. It was reasonably priced and quick. We were very satisfied and would return again.

First piercing, came for a walk in because that's all they do, waited less than 20 min on a Saturday night and there were plenty of people coming in.
Guy that did it was professional, clearly knew what he was doing, and I had 0 worries as far as "Is this gonna be done right?" Just "How much is this gonna hurt?" because I hadn't done it before.
It hurt, but he was fast. He had marked it before hand, asked me if I liked it. I asked if that was a safe placement and he confirmed it, so we pierced, and was done in less than a minute. I asked him questions about aftercare and when I could switch it to a different style ring, he answered all my questions and pointed me in the correct directions.
If you want a piercing, two of my friends already exclusively use him, and if I get another, I will be going back to him. Clearly knows what he's doing, and I'd have no worries going back.

Every time I get pierced here the piercing is crooked. It usually rejects. We have to look at the piercing every day. I’m not sure why the piercer doesn’t take an extra 10 seconds to make sure he’s doing it properly. I don’t recommend. He’s extremely careless and will leave you with crooked piercings.
