Coming into the shop I asked about getting my Tragus and Helix pierced. I had to ask about the jewelry selection which was super small, and I also had to ask about the type of metal they use which is surgical steel. I later found out when I emailed them, that they offer higher quality metals, which I would have obviously paid for had I been told they have them. I also had to pay before getting the piercings which is not cool.

Overall, the experience with the helix went pretty well, I wanted titanium jewelry but went ahead with the surgical steel they told me they used because I though the piercer would know best.

As for the Tragus, let me tell you, it was pierced terribly! I had another piercer look at it and the piercing went at an angle back into my ear way too far in the canal. When I had it taken out, the jewelry ended up having to go back into my ear before it could be taken out because of the angle it was pierced at. The bar was only 1/4” which wouldn’t be a problem had it not been at an angle which left the bar super small with no room for swelling. On top of this, my Tragus is pretty small so I was concerned if I could get it pierced at all, the lady looked at me like I was crazy which leads me to think they’ll pierce whatever even if it’s not in the clients best interest.

Pretty annoyed by the whole experience and will...

I really wanted to like this place but my experience with this place peircers have been terrible. You would think people putting literal HOLES in your body would be competent enough to not peirce you crookedly but I guess not. My first terrible experience I got my septum repeirced and the lady peirced my septum crookedly. She then ask if I wanted her to repeirce it as if I would want crooked jewelry in my body. She then repeirced it and it was STILL CROOKED I walk out upset and wanting a refund but the owner repierced my septum correctly for free. I then got my ears double peirced for prom and the person that did them didn't even line them up correctly. I put new jewelry in my already healed ear holes and noticed the studs don't line up at all. I tried not thinking about it but I'm beyond upset. One of my ears jewelery is literally overlapping the stud while the other isn't. I don't even want a repeircing I just want my money back. I don't trust these people to put anymore holes in my body. They've lost my trust and I believe these peircers should go through more training because this shouldn't have happen to me more than once or at all for that matter. Wouldn't...

I’m writing this review with a heavy heart and deep disappointment. My son recently got his first tattoo to honor his late father, who tragically took his own life. This tattoo was supposed to be a meaningful tribute, but instead, it’s turned into a nightmare.

The tattoo is peeling excessively, and the ink is barely present. What should have been a strong, vibrant piece is now a half-finished mess on his arm. The quality of work is shockingly poor, and it’s clear that little care or skill went into the process.

This was my son’s first tattoo, and the experience has left him with a bitter taste in his mouth. Instead of a beautiful piece to remember his father by, he’s left with something that looks awful and incomplete. He trusted the artist with something deeply personal, and that trust was completely betrayed.

I’m heartbroken that this meaningful tattoo was ruined, and I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone. If you’re looking for a place that values their work and respects the importance of what they’re doing, I’d strongly advise you to...
