Talk about an amazing first experience in the world of piercing and tattooing!! My daughter wanted to get her belly button pierced so we called ahead to find out what the requirements were. After walking in we were greeted by the very friendly professional piercing specialist, Casper. He gave us some papers to fill out while he went back to get things ready. I couldn’t help but notice the cool vibe the place had! The Victorian style furniture with the deep purple walls that h...ad decorative black stenciling and the impressive artwork hanging everywhere created a very artful environment. So Casper was ready! He called us back and explained everything in great detail. My daughter started out nervous but was calmly reassured by Casper’s professionalism. He marked the area and made some adjustments and next thing you know he was done. He thoroughly explained the aftercare to her. We even had a chance to joke around with one of the other artist’s who shared some friendly bantering with Casper. This is the to go place and Casper is the go to guy for all your piercing desires!!
