If it has to do with piercing, they are okay at their work,
Tattoo, not so much really water painting and causes raised skin, along with think thick lines, all on one line,
Some of the lines dont close when they where to be closed, going else where to get the tattoo fixed up.
I would not go here for tattoos and the water paint used.

Brie did my nose, she was really funny, professional, made me feel comfortable, and did it really quick. I recommend self expressions and Brie!!!

They did my nose piercing, super quick and it looks great. Only bone I have to pick is a lacking jewelry assortment for some piercings.

So the peircing I bought here fell out when I was asleep. When I put my ring in, the hole has shrunk. So when I walked in I was greeted by a super rude girl. I asked if she could help me put my ring back in and she said "well if you couldnt get it in, I can't." Isnt your job to peirce things? Are you guys actual pericers or just mall employees.... do not go here.

Brie is always a joy to be around! The whole staff is friendly and makes you feel comfortable! I would recommend Brie to any one of my friends and family!

This shop tries to piggyback off Body Jewelry Plus (BJP) and misleads customers into thinking the stores are under the same ownership. They are not. They even copy the store layout. They are not associated with them AT ALL. BJP is a MUCH better shop to go to for piercing or tattoos.

Brie makes you feel comfortable. She did my dorward helix piercing and has put in new jewelry on older piercings. I won't go anywhere else.

I walked in yesterday and the piercer was very rude! She acted as if she didn’t want to be bothered! She quickly shut me down when I asked about an industrial piercing.
