Edit 4/2023: I started to get a little irritation bump in my helix piercing, since the starter stud was now too long once it healed (Starter jewelry is often a little longer to allow for swelling while it heals, and once healed, is too big, and can move a lot, especially when you're sleeping) I had a similar situation on my nostril that cleared up once I switched it with jewelry with a smaller length. Because the stud wasn't as easy to swap as my nostril was, I came in to see Nowah again, and he was great. He was able to replace the stud with one the perfect size/depth. I could tell the difference immediately, and now I can stop sleeping on that awful travel pillow!! It's literally the perfect fit! The replacement jewelry was reasonably priced and looks amazing. He also bagged up the old piece so I would have a backup in case of emergency. We'll be back for some more lobe piercing soon!
Edit 11/2022: came back with my daughter to get her nostril and my helix done. No hesitation... Happened to be during the black Friday piercing special, so there was a bit of a wait, but Nowah was both chill and accommodating, as well as professional. Enjoyed the music and atmosphere while we waited. Everyone working seemed to be happy to be there, which just adds to the excitement of the clients, I think. Observed Nowah counsel a walk-in about a piercing she had, and definitely showed a passion and care for the craft that furthered my comfort for the process.
Original: This is my second time going to Premier, my first at this location. (had my nostril pierced in July at the old GC location, which was a great experience) I stalked the Instagram of a few artists to find one to match the style of my desired tattoo and reached out via DM for an appointment, although they do take walk ins.
The energy of the Westland studio is wonderful! The team does a great job of making everyone feel welcomed. It's spotlessly clean, and airy. I arrived and was greeted quickly and warmly. The whole time I was there, everyone was friendly and helpful. Even though the shop was bustling, it was surprisingly relaxing.
Brandon took extra time to consult with me and perfect the image I had provided before we started. (I wanted him to replicate a coin) And he literally made it come to life. He got done quicker than expected! And it turned out better than I imagined. Highly...
Read moreHave been getting my piercings here for about 3 years. Came in for the Friday the 13th deal today. My two friends and I came through the doors right after open because we specifically all wanted piercings only. We all were getting nipples and navels. After waiting forever and listening closely to every name around 6:00 we asked how much longer it would take for us three who walked in at opening. The guy in the leather outfit dismissed us and said very rudely “that’s just how the day goes” and we’ll have to wait. And we asked three times and everytime he was rude and said we’d have to wait. So we did and at 6:45 they called my first friend to the line. But no one else. And she gave her ID after me and my other friend. We asked again and we’re told we’d still have to wait. And she had her bf pick her up at 7:30 since we all took the day off work and she worked at 6 am the next day. And than at 8:30pm we approached the counter again saying we didn’t wanna bother since we were told the multiple times “this is how the day goes” but a girl who came in the store at 5pm was already pierced when we asked her 10 minutes prior. So kinda rude for constantly not listening to us and then they finally pushed us to front of piercing call list after speaking to a newer nicer guy who we explained what happened. But we still than waited until 10:45 to get pierced. We left at 11pm and spent 12 hours total there. No accountability was taken even when asking the owner who was in the room for my friend piercing and he said he’d look into it. Piercers are sweet as pie. But disappointed with whoever’s running the document calling. Since I heard multiple names who weren’t there called over 15 times over the span of 12 hours. Also we only got piercings since the man in leather told us that’s faster but once again he wasn’t the nicest and I really could have gotten a tattoo or the two I wanted in the 12 hour span I was there. And I really do have great experiences at this shop so I’m super sad. And I did stay all that time since I really took the day off work and by 4pm we all decided we were staying till we got them cause any other tattoo place maybe closed by than. Shocked and...
Read moreI've wanted tattoos my entire life. I'm now 27 and have a whole bunch . It only took so long because I was never comfortable in another shop. This is one of the greatest group of artists I've ever encountered. Please don't hesitate to stop in if you have any desire for any body art or jewelry. I couldn't say enough good things in the way of how sweet and respectful everyone there Is. They will work with you To make sure you Leave satisfied. The shop is kept unbelievably clean And everything is done As it should be. Aaaand the artwork... From the apprentices to the sponsored artists, you'll get nothing but greatness. No matter the style, someone is ready to take on your next work of art.
Seriously cant say enough good things EDIT! After multiple issues, i no longer go here. Besides it being a challenge to get a few of the artists to answer. I stand by saying there is absolutely some real talent in that building. But the antics and way of business far out weigh that fact unfortunately.
Ive included a picture of my "black out sleeve" done here. The objective was to achieve solid black saturation. Now i know this is a process and isnt something that can always happen on the 1st pass. The artist now has me blocked and the shop no longer answers.
I can say the same for the piercing dept... my wife inquired about a piercing over a year ago.. she was told that they orderd the jewelry for it and would inform us when they had it. Since then, weve sent 4-5 messages over the course of 6-12months and nothing.
I dont understand why they do this, its unfortunate. Once my favorite shop, now somewhere i...
