I went and got a double nostril piercing & had a septum jewelry change. The piercer was really sweet & fast. I would recommend coming here for sure !

I would recommend piercing, the guy was very polite and carefully, fast and very clean. I would not recommend the place for a tattoo, the guy arrive 45 minutes later, made me wait 45 more minutes to do a poor job. More people came to complain about him while I was getting the tattoo. Please do not waist your time. Now I found a tattoo artist to fix his job.

Super awesome staff. Great environment. Amazing prices. Even though it was busy they didn't make me feel as if they were rushing my piercings. Kelly D was the best piercer I've had yet! I would highly recommend.

Brie is an exceptional piercer, and I’ve had 13 piercings, so I have some good experiences (& bad) to compare her to.
Shout out to her for the exceptional work, even after hours of piercing people on Fri. the 13th.

Stopped in a for a septum piercing. Bree was very professional, clean and quick. My piercing looks great! It was almost painless. Would highly recommend

I got my belly button pierced here. The staff was very reassuring and they made sure everything was sterile. (I've had 13 piercings, so I know what should be done). The only reason I do not give 5 stars is because I haven't heard the best reviews about the tattoos. A few of my friends have gone here for theirs. But the piercing portion is definitely an A+.

Anywhere else is $40-50 RIDICULOUS it’s a little hard to find with all the construction butttttttt love this place I asked them if they had a tip jar that’s how happy I was 🤣
