Fast, friendly and professional. Really appreciated that they're taking covid seriously, and have taken several measures to ensure staff and customers are safe.
The piercing itself took all of maybe two minutes to clean, mark and poke, once the paperwork was out of the way. Granted, I was only getting a basic lobe done yesterday but, compared to the botched job I received on my other ear at Piercing Pagoda a few decades back, I'd recommend a qualified piercer, every time.
They also had a decent selection of starting jewelry, at reasonable prices. If I decide to get more work done in the future, I'll definitely be giving these guys a call.

Absolutely beyond a doubt the best piercing I have ever gotten.

Andy was amazing. He was very patient in any adjustments to the design I wanted and walked me through the process!

I got my first tattoo here and the experience was great! The were able to schedule a walk in appointment within two hours and the design was better than I initially had in mind. Collin was a fun guy.

I have a scar on my foot that I've been trying cover forever. I scheduled an appointment with Jesse, based on his profile of being detailed oriented with his designs. I was reluctant to see how he planned to design my tattoo, but after providing him with my vision based on designs I found on Pinterest, he took all the designs and used small aspects of them to cover my scar and even added some additional color contrast to the design that I wasn't expecting, but absolutely loved. Jesse was patient, personable and funny and bonus, he has an awesome neo-soul, evanescence type vibe with his play list that made my experience even more delightful. I will definitely be scheduling with him again as I want him to expand the tattoo up my leg.

Everyone was extremely genuine. Parrish was super kind and funny. The employees who greeted me and signed me in were very nice and helpful and helped me feel relaxed for my tattoo. Parrish did an amazing job and I’m really happy I decided to get my first tattoo here. I also got my second helix and forward helix pierced. Jasper was so nice and he helped me feel more relaxed for my piercing. He was super chill and I love the results of my piercings. I will definitely be coming back to get more tattoos and piercings. I recommend this place for everyone especially to the people who are tattoo/piercing beginners!

Words simply can not express my deepest gratitude to Jesse at TimeBomb. Jesse was so amazing and took the time to ask what I wanted in terms of my tattoo. He was extremely friendly and did such an amazing job with not only touching up my oldest daughters name but adding on my youngest child's. If your looking to get a tattoo I'd highly recommend reaching out to TimeBomb and asking for Jesse!

Everyone at this shop is so nice, and in terms of customer service they are lovely. The shop itself is so fun, they sell lots of awesome jewelry and curiosities. In general, I love this shop and that’s why I go. However, I did not have a great time with my ear piercing. It was my first time ever getting a piercing, and I wanted to have it done right the first time. I just got lobe piercings. My first piercer was lovely and the whole experience was great, but unfortunately the posts she gave me for my piercings were too short. My ears swelled. The back of one of them even became imbedded in my earlobe, and the other one was starting to as well. I came into the shop again to get this fixed, and the gentleman who fixed them was also a super cool guy. It was a smooth process, though painful, but he got the imbedded piercing out. However, it had to heal and be re-pierced. That was fine. We gave it some time, and then I came back in to get it re-pierced. Again, smooth process, however I noticed immediately afterwards that it seemed rather crooked, but being naive to piercings I shrugged it off. I’ve finally just switched out my original jewelry (it’s been nearly 4 months now) and during that process came to realize that the re-pierced ear was extremely crooked, to the point of it being difficult to even get a new earring in. Maybe he did this to avoid scar tissue? If that was the case, a heads up would’ve been great.
I wanted to give this shop 5 stars because I honestly really like the shop and those who work there, but this hasn’t been a great experience, and now I have a crooked piercing.

I came in for the first time today to get a septum piercing. Was greeted with a warm welcome from the guy at the front desk. Jasper, who did the piercing itself was really great, welcoming, funny and made me feel comfortable before it. I would recommend him and Time Bomb as a whole to anyone I know! 11/10. ✨Go Little Rockstar✨

I have had one piece done here so far, and I have another appointment coming up in a few weeks. The image attached is the one I have from them now, it was done by their artist Colin.
These people are awesome in every way. The workers who operate their communication (email/phone/reception/etc.) are friendly, efficient, and always know what they're doing. Colin was a super cool dude, and as you can see he is great at what he does, I was super satisfied with the results and he did a great job turning my idea into some beautiful art.
I have another appointment coming up in 3 weeks with Capt. Gordon for my largest piece yet, and I am beyond excited!
