Good job on my piercings. Smooth process. He asked for cash only, no card. So we had to run to the ATM beforehand which was a little annoying.

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

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.

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

Awesome expierience! Riley did my septum piercing she did a great job. She was very professional and clean. She knew exactly where to pierce it and it didn't hurt at all. I was extremely nervous and she made me feel so comfortable. I've gotten a tattoo fixed there and two other tattoos from the artist's there. I didn't know where to go to get the septum and I called around to other studios but I am extremely happy I went here because they took care of me. I will definitely go back for more tattoos and piercings. Also great prices can't go wrong with that! Read Less

These guys are great! They are very professional with their work, pricing is great you won't get ripped off. Best shop I've found in TX being from CA. These guys will make sure you get what your looking for and more. Stop on in check it out and see what you think, it's worth your time. I personally go to Johnny because we've been friends and he does great work on me.

The shop is clean and well put together which is a great quality to see because a lot of shops are not that way.-Bobby 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
