SERIOUSLY words alone cannot express how wonderful my experience was here… truly a GEM & one-of-a-kind place! 🤍 I’ve had several piercing experiences & this was the best I’ve had beyond comparison… it was the experience I have always hoped for 🥲🙏🏼🌸 From the moment I walked into the shop I felt overwhelming ease & comfort. Brody was welcoming, incredibly charismatic, & honestly one of the most genuine, down-to-earth souls I’ve ever met. He has the energy that feels like talking to / catching up with an old friend! He was so knowledgeable & radiantly passionate about what he does & that high vibe energy permeates throughout the entire shop… you can feel the DEEP Love that was poured into every detail of its creation! 💖 I came in to get my nose pierced & I was a little leery because my last experience was painful, harsh, & ultimately unsuccessful 🫠 but Brody walked me through everything & made me so comfortable & at peace through the process… made sure I liked the placement, explained how it was going to work, etc. The piercing itself was flawless & nearly painless, & 3 days later I am still pain free & healing so nicely — the FIRST time I have EVER experienced that after ANY piercing! I could go on & on but all this to say I am so incredibly grateful I was guided here. The Universe responded directly to my wishes through Archetype! 🍀🙌🏼💫 I freakin’ love my cute lil nose ring & it adds so much character to my look. (Also just fyi, I was specifically looking for a shop with fine jewelry options & it’s surprisingly uncommon!!) THANK YOU, Brody, for being YOU & sharing your light with the world in this way! 🌟 I will ALWAYS always always recommend & come back to Archetype for my future...
Read moreI was visiting Cincinnati and decided to stop by Archetype on a whim to see if I could consult someone on a piercing I got a few years back (at a different piercing shop). Brody welcomed me into the shop even though I didn't have an appointment and he was AMAZING from the start! I immediately knew I was in good hands. He asked about the history of my piercing and willingly listened to my novel of a story (ha!) and understood my frustrations. He helped me understand the type of jewelry that would look best in my piercing while intentionally considering the shape of my ear. I selected a beautiful new piece of jewelry for my existing piercing and I also decided to get a new piercing before leaving! It was just the perfect opportunity, so why not. When I saw my new jewelry and the new piercing together (they are on the same ear) I was SO thrilled!! Brody is a true expert in his craft. I've seen lots of piercers over the years and Brody is hands down THE BEST of them. No one else, and I mean no one, took time to sit and talk with me like Brody did. He helped me "style" my ear based on what I liked and what would look best on my ear shape. I'm from Memphis and I told him I would literally travel back to Cincinnati for any other piercings I ever get, and I meant it. I know that sounds so silly but it's true. Do not hesitate to visit Archetype for all your...
Read moreI got my last piercing 6 years ago and haven’t changed my style since. A few weeks ago I went to Archetype and got my other nostril pierced and got a new piece for my previously pierced nostril. I looked online and scheduled a consultation (same day) which was free and booked a nostril piercing because I was pretty sure that’s what I wanted. Brody greeted me with warmth and walked me through the process. He also explained his pricing and tip expectations/lack thereof. We explored some options and he calculated the prices of everything along the way so i wasn’t surprised. The piercing itself was nothing. Uncomfortable at worst. Not going to say painless but a lot less painful than my other nostril i got in Florida on family vacation. I love the results but I’m mostly impressed with the shop. The vibes are inviting, jewelry selection is unique and great quality, and you can tell Brody loves what he does. Highly recommend! I never get piercings but I’m now debating what my next one will be just so I...
