Absolutely amazing atmosphere and the staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable. I was in and out within 10 minutes. 10/10 would recommend for first timers and people that have been getting poked for years.

I worked with Caleb on 12/21/21. He was kind, educational, and just a generally really great (personality wise). He gave me a free saline solution at the end!! Total sweetheart.😄 However, when he tried to put a curved barbell back into my rook it bled profusely. This was a piercing that I’d had for around 9 months and had previously been healing nicely. I should also note that the jewelry was out of my piercing for less than 24 hours. The bleeding seemed really strange… He also pierced my anti tragus with a labret. I do not recommend that this be offered as an option to future clients (Caleb did offer a curved barbell or a labret). My piercing became incredibly painful (despite ibuprofen and ice). I just had it switched out by my regular piercer and she confirmed that the anti tragus is prone to swelling and the labret stud is generally too small. I really appreciated Caleb’s customer service skills, but generally found this piercing experience to be much more painful than it has been at my usual shop. I would be unlikely to return based on this experience. I’m giving three stars because customer service was 10/10 and Caleb likely has many successful piercings…just OUCH Update: Had to take the Anti Tragus out…. It was forming a terrible bump. My piercer told me the angle of the piercing and my anti tragus anatomy may both be contributing. It sucks! Minus the hump it was really cute.

I normally don’t post reviews— especially negative ones— but got a conch and a cartilage piercing from here last august and I feel like I should warn others from this place. The woman piercer was unfriendly and unprofessional. The piercer only washed her hands once, not between the piercings and touched the trash can with her gloves before piercing my ears. She didn’t give me a choice of what earrings I wanted or anything. She gave me no instructions on how to get the earring out. Both of the piercings never healed, I cleaned them thoroughly and all of my other piercings from other places healed and perfectly fine. The conch piercing ended up falling out and closing up. The cartilage piercing was so infected after months of trying to clear it up. I ended up wanting to take the earring out, but it was stuck on my ear. No one could get it out and I had to go to urgent care (where they even had trouble) to get it out. I ended up on antibiotics after they finally got it out. Choose somewhere more clean and professional for piercings!!

Pins & Needles | Aug 21, 2018

I would suggest getting that lasered off, or covering up the entire tattoo....white ink would only slightly lighten the name...only solid black would completely cover
