First time getting a tattoo. It was really nice. The guy was informative and a great conversationist, which got me distracted from the pain. Dope dude

I've gotten piercings at this place twice now. Both were wonderful experiences. The staff are really friendly and answer any questions you may have. They acknowledge you the moment you're in the door and help you immediately or if they're busy let you know they'll get to you ASAP. I got my tongue repierced there July of 2017. I let her know the troubles I had with it the 1st time, she listened to what I had to say, gave suggestions on what she could do differently, looked in my mouth and at my tongue for a few mins deciding how she could best help me not have problems this time around, and I've had this piercing 4 times as long as the 1st time with no issues whatsoever. The most recent piercings are my nipples I've had them done for about a month now, again the piercer answered any and all questions I had and made me feel super comfortable about what was going on. There were 3 people including myself getting piercings at that time, he had us gather around and went through the aftercare processes we would each have to do. Again I have had absolutely no problems with the piercings and I will definitely be going back for any other piercings I get. Read Less

I was extremely nervous to get my nipples pierced but the girl working was so educated and very sweet and friendly. She made sure to explicitly tell me how to care for the piercing and gave me a pamphlet explaining as well. During the piercings she talked to me and made me feel very comfortable, explained exactly what she was going to do and made sure the marks were symmetrical. She asked me what I preferred for her to say when she did it. It was a good price for a quality piercing and piercer. Loved her and I love my piercings as well!! Definitely reccomend. Read Less
