If you have any piercing desires, Seven is your person. He is absolutely the most present, kind, calming, professional, knowledgable and talented piercer I have encountered. I would trust Seven with ANY piercing and cannot recommend him more enthusiastically. My dear friend and I had just come from SoulFire Piercing Studio in NW Portland where we had had a downright horrible experience and even considered not getting pierced at all after leaving there so disturbed. Avoid Jonathan at SoulFire if you want someone who humbly considers your personal desires vs. his own egotistical 'artistic' impulses.So we were delightfully surprised when we walked into Ritual Arts Tattoo and Body Piercing and were welcomed so warmly, guided to tea and water, comfortable seating area, books and portfolios of the various tattoo and piercing artists, and a FINE selection of beautiful and tasteful jewelry to choose from.Seven took as much time as we needed to feel comfortable with our choices of placement, explaining anatomy and style with great accuracy and kindness. The piercing experience itself was fantastic. Seven helped us feel at home and comfortable, talking us through the process and checking with us throughout to make sure we felt at ease. Both my friend and I got right ear Conch piercings with lime opal studs. I stretched my two lobe piercings to an 8 with glass single-taper plugs, and my friend also got 3 other lobe piercings. All looked perfectly placed and aesthetically pleasing. It truly was a divine pleasure and ritual experience to work with Seven. I shall likely return for any of my piercing needs in the future. I encourage you to treat yourself to a beautiful and intentional piercing experience with Seven at Ritual Arts. Read Less
