Christian is so chill, and has so much talent, I can't even put it into words. He took an idea I had for a cover up, and made it 1000 times better than I ever imagined! He put me at ease, and my tat is beyond beautiful, I HIGHLY recommend him. Clean, sterile, efficiant,  and very painless. Very happy!! Read Less

Got my nose pierced on Saturday and am so pleased with how it turned out! Everything was super clean and the piercer was so professional & walked me through what he would be doing and even measured to assure me a ring would look right in the future, not just a stud. He was extremely thorough with all the details about aftercare as well. I will definitely be returning for future piercings and tattoos. Read Less

Got my design done by Christian, didn't come out as expected - Going back to see what he can do to improve it. Color is not quite like the image I showed him - it came out too dark. 02/17 Went back and he told me he would charge me to brighten it up. I am not happy with that b/c he did the original coloring too dark. But, I will say it's a nice piece and I have received several compliments on it. I would go back to him and specify coloring more.

I got my tongue pierced at this place and the guy who pierced my tongue was nice and informative about the do's and dont's of tongue piercings. This was one of the first places that I went to that had numbing gel, which helped a bit. He also gave me two other jewelries for free and a change for free for when I downsize once the swelling goes down. I highly recommend this place, they seem very professional and passionate about what they do. Plus most piercings are only $40, which is not bad compared to other places. Read Less
