Brought my younger sister to get her second holes pierced on her lobe. While the website clearly states that this shop does all types of piercings, Hector rather rudely informed us that he only does body piercings and could only help us if we wanted "a 14-gauge hole in her ear". If that wasn't bad enough, he then said "I don't do little diamonds. If that's what you want go to Claire's or Spencer's." It is one thing to refuse our business, but to then suggest going somewhere that uses a piercing gun blows me away. Every piercer I've ever spoken to (including the three that pierced me) has informed me exactly why you should NEVER use a piercing gun. I will never recommend this place to anyone. Read Less

This by far the most beautiful tattoo I've ever gotten. I had work done by Tommy Sturgis. After seeing his work online I knew this was the person I wanted. He tattooed a picture of my dog that past last year at Christmas. Tommy took the time to hear how important this tattoo was to me and we worked together to make the picture perfect. The entire staff was very friendly and the workstations are highly sanitary. I can't imagine having anyone else work on me from this point on. Read Less

Had a tatto done by Tommy Sturgis. This is a man who truly cares about what he designs and puts on your body. I had him tattoo a picture of my dog that past away. He was very compassionate and understanding as to how important this piece was. The results are breathtaking and its as if it was painted on. I cant imagine going anywhere else to have work done. I would suggest calling first and making an appointment. I walked in in the afternoon but he was very busy. He still took the time to be pleasant and asked me to come back at 9pm. I highly reccommend this shop. You will get results you love Read Less

My little sister got her nose pierced at a different shop about 4 months ago and it wasn't healing properly. She got a nose ring so it was harder for her to get it out. I called the shop around 10pm on a weekday asking if their piercer was available and sure enough they were. At this point my sister was very frustrated because she was trying for several days to get it out (a lot of scar tissue had build up) and right when we met Rylee she reassured & made my sister very comfortable. She is very knowledgable, professional and has amazing bed side manners (not sure if that term applies to piercers but she's AMAZING). We will def recommend anyone who needs piercings to go to Rylee. She's amazing and so friendly. Read Less

I waited until a little later in life to start getting inked, and after working with Char, I'm glad I did. I cannot imagine a better experience with anyone else. In my profession, I work with a lot of artists, and can tell you, from an outsider's prospective, Char is among the best I've ever known. From the cleanliness of the shop to the creativity behind every piece she lays down, I've known very few who were even in her class. Char truly loves her artwork, and has a deeper understanding of the technical side of tattooing than some folks I know who've been in the field for 20 years or more. She's always developing new techniques, and is not afraid to tell anyone that they may regret a tattoo later. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone with something negative to say about a session spent on Char's chair Read Less

This by far the most beautiful tattoo I've ever gotten. I had work done by Tommy Sturgis. After seeing his work online I knew this was the person I wanted. He tattooed a picture of my dog that past last year at Christmas. Tommy took the time to hear how important this tattoo was to me and we worked together to make the picture perfect. The entire staff was very friendly and the workstations are highly sanitary. I can't imagine having anyone else work on me from this point on. Read Less

Had a tatto done by Tommy Sturgis. This is a man who truly cares about what he designs and puts on your body. I had him tattoo a picture of my dog that past away. He was very compassionate and understanding as to how important this piece was. The results are breathtaking and its as if it was painted on. I cant imagine going anywhere else to have work done. I would suggest calling first and making an appointment. I walked in in the afternoon but he was very busy. He still took the time to be pleasant and asked me to come back at 9pm. I highly reccommend this shop. You will get results you love Read Less

My little sister got her nose pierced at a different shop about 4 months ago and it wasn't healing properly. She got a nose ring so it was harder for her to get it out. I called the shop around 10pm on a weekday asking if their piercer was available and sure enough they were. At this point my sister was very frustrated because she was trying for several days to get it out (a lot of scar tissue had build up) and right when we met Rylee she reassured & made my sister very comfortable. She is very knowledgable, professional and has amazing bed side manners (not sure if that term applies to piercers but she's AMAZING). We will def recommend anyone who needs piercings to go to Rylee. She's amazing and so friendly. Read Less

I waited until a little later in life to start getting inked, and after working with Char, I'm glad I did. I cannot imagine a better experience with anyone else. In my profession, I work with a lot of artists, and can tell you, from an outsider's prospective, Char is among the best I've ever known. From the cleanliness of the shop to the creativity behind every piece she lays down, I've known very few who were even in her class. Char truly loves her artwork, and has a deeper understanding of the technical side of tattooing than some folks I know who've been in the field for 20 years or more. She's always developing new techniques, and is not afraid to tell anyone that they may regret a tattoo later. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone with something negative to say about a session spent on Char's chair Read Less
