It was a very relaxed environment and my tattooist, Sam was great. The pain was totally tolerable probably due to the skill of Sam. I love my new tattoo and would recommend this place 100%

I came in about a month ago hoping to get a triple forward helix piercing, but Brett recommended I opt for one or two as my ears are particularly small -- I decided on the former. He was very professional, explaining why it would need to be performed with a labret and highlighting the importance of aftercare. He pierced me quickly and painlessly, even complimenting my ability to sit through it, and -- most importantly -- used a needle as opposed to a gun (which would have damaged the cartilage but some less careful parlours do). He also handed me a form detailing the steps to disinfecting the fresh piercing and tips on identifying an infection; this reassured me whenever I felt I was not looking after it well enough. I recommended him to a friend and will soon be returning to get help replacing the initial labret. Read Less

I got three ear piercings (two lobes and a tragus all in the same ear) yesterday. As a huge wimp, I was really nervous when I first arrived but was soon made to feel very at ease. All three piercings were super quick and relative painless. Brett was very patient when I was being a little bit indecisive about whether or not to go ahead with the tragus piercing but was happy to address my concerns and didn’t try to rush my decision. The soreness lasted about 1-2 hours after leaving the studio but I’ve not felt any discomfort whatsoever since, even when cleaning. All in all I’m very happy with the experience and end result (just hoping I don’t cock up the healing process) and would happily return for any future piercings. Thank you! Read Less
