Indigo Skin Design — Local services in Antioch

Lee was awesome. After having my septum piercing done wrong last year at another piercing shop, I waited until the hole closed up and I could find a reputable place around the area. After being referred to Indigo from my esthetician, I decided to give it a try. I explained what happened with my septum piercing last year and Lee took time and care to ensure she did a good job, although she probably would’ve anyway even without this knowledge.

I get that routines and scripts come out quickly in customer service. But words matter—especially when speaking to blended families. I hope this serves as a reminder to handle those situations with a little more care...

Both piercers are very professional, knowledgeable and likable. I’ve gotten my left nostril and septum done here. I went in wanting to get a gold septum ring to match the rest of my jewelry but after discussing everything with my piercer he encouraged me to buy something cheaper for the healing process (it’s better to have a big ring while it heals and I was planning on downsizing once completely healed) that way I don’t waste money on a piece of jewelry that I most likely wouldn’t wear again. I truly appreciated that because instead of trying to upsell me just for profit he kept it real and did what was best for me and not...
