First and foremost, I would recommend Foundation Body Arts to anyone looking for a piercing or tattoo. Whether you have a hundred piercings and tattoos or you're getting your first one done, this place is great. Some other shops I've been to can be a little intimidating, but everyone here is super friendly and they create a very welcoming atmosphere. A little background: I had my first nostril piercing done at a different shop and it went well. Eventually I wanted a nose ring, but by that time the piercer at that shop had left and the owner hastily put my nose ring in... It was uncomfortable and in certain positions the seam would catch, but I kind of figured that was just how nose rings were and was just going to have to live with it... That is until I went to Foundation Body Arts! I stopped by over the weekend because my nose ring had gotten stuck and I was too afraid to try to get it moving again. Ben reassured me that it was a simple fix and at that point I had also decided that I wanted another piercing. I don't know a lot about piercing, but both Ben and Justin were patient and took the time to explain different aspects of the piercing process to me. It was great because they are totally supportive of the ideas you have, but will also give you down-to-earth advice about your piercing options and choices. After throwing around a few ideas, I decided to get a pair of high nostril piercings done. Ben was very professional and efficient, and even explained how the little autoclave machine worked! He took a look at my nose ring and showed me how the nose ring wasn't done properly - the seams weren't lined up and the ring was out-of-round. He pulled out my nose ring, tweaked it a little bit, and popped it back in. I was amazed - Problem solved! Then he handled the high nostril piercings - I was nervous but Ben made the whole experience very relaxing and as close to painless as possible. You can tell he works with great precision and puts a lot of care into making sure you're comfortable. Before I knew it, I had two new piercings and a nose ring that is now comfortable! I am extremely happy with my experience here and will absolutely be coming back. I already recommended them to a friend, who decided to get their ears and nose pierced and they had a similarly excellent experience. 100% would...
Read moreBen Lynch is the kindest soul, He has a direct and kind communication style that makes you feel safe despite knowing you're about to get a body mod. The prices are great for top quality jewelry that’s made for piercings and long external/internal wear. I’m allergic to most metal, even gold and I’ve only been able to wear 316L surgical steel for years, but all of the gold pieces Ive gotten here are stunning and Ive never had an issue. I’ve gotten a total of 3 piercings, 6 size changes, and they are by far the fastest healing, well placed piecings I’ve ever had. I’ve had a lot over the years, so here is my Pro tip: just because you’re getting a cheaper deal from another place, it does NOT mean they’re knowledgeable, or qualified. Also, thanks for listening to my ranting...
Read moreCame here as a walk-in for the Halloween event for piercings, which says 50% off the piercing fee. I don’t think mine applied (?) but my experience was def worth the $$ regardless.
Ben was awesome, such an easygoing guy who was super informative and understanding! He made my piercings much less painful than when I went to more cheaper place that I regretted.
I initially wanted an industrial but he explained that it wouldn’t be a right fit for my ear considering the structure of it, which I was fine with. He was patient when I told him I needed some time to think on what I wanted.
I ended up getting a nose piercing and a helix on one ear and I’m very satisfied!! I would absolutely recommend Ben, it was a quick and easy process. Just overall...
