I received my very first tattoo (@ 50!) from Jordan, who is a fairly young delightful female, who's very talented as a designer & applier. Sarah, who is the piercer while I was there, as well as a very knowledgeable and helpful counter clerk, & a kicked back, off duty tattoo artist,(he's inked on the right side of his face, who's names I've forgotten. B4 & after my tattoo, I spent almost 2hrs looking @ jewelry and I couldn't find what I wanted to the very end, but they all were patient and professional. the only thing that I can criticize is the prices for the jewelry. it's high end stuff, but lots of times we are on a budget lol thanks for your help!

Honestly, this is a good place. You walk in to see a nice clean, tidy lobby. There is some wicked cool stuff in the display cases. Beautiful, quality jewelry. The staff are kind, cheerful, respectful and happy to answer questions. And they communicate through the entire piercing process to ensure the client walks out happy. I even got a sugar tablet today as I was a tad woozy.
EDIT
The Industrial piercing I got here nearly a year ago is holding strong. Healed beautifully.

Vern is such a cool guy. He squeezed me in between appointments today to change my rook bar. In and out. Thanks Vern!!

Sarah has done a few piercing for me, and let me tell you she is awesome! My piercings that she has done, all of them heal up so nicely and I have no problems with them during the healing stages no pain no nothing. I highly recommend this place for if you want a painless piercing done, the staff too is really nice and makes you feel comfortable!

Niko our artist was friendly, professional, and overall wonderful to work with. At the end of my tattoo session with my wife, she wanted to get her nose pierced as well, they had no problem accommodating or needs. It's a clean, layed back, positive place and all whom helped us were really awesome.

Had an amazing experience!!! Went in Monday to get a VCH piercing for my husband for his birthday, and Sarah did an amazing job!! She was SO helpful at calming me down (I was REALLY nervous to get a below-the-belt piercing) and walked me through the aftercare, along with explaining to me everything she was doing leading up to the piercing itself, completely putting me at ease. And even though the piercing was PRETTY DAMN painful, she did a great job, and it was over and done before I knew it!! If I decide to get any piercings in the future, she is DEFINITELY the one I'll be coming to!!! Thanks again!!! 😁😁💜

I got 2 piercings today & I love them! The shop was very clean and they had all Covid precautions in place. My piercer was Sarah and she was very nice & explained everything she was doing and why. I can't wait to book my next appt!!

Got a few piercings from here now, from Ares. Ares poked me with damn good talent and a professional process as well. Being able to chat and just get a piercing with a good person, is f*ing ideal and makes it an easy flow. Thanks again from the shop and Ares for the good experiences! Will go back for more piercings and the tattoos are for next year!

I came to get a piercing during my lunch and I had left my ID in my bag at work. When I got there and realized that, I let them know and asked if a picture of it would have worked. All the receptionist (or piercer I don’t know and don’t really care) said was “nope!” I paused and just said “okay..” and she said “so we’re canceling today?” with a cheery voice. I said “well yes since I don’t have my ID” she said okay and looked away so I walked out. While I can totally understand policies are policies. Delivery is important. Customer service is important and the transaction left me feeling uncared for and upset. I was trying out a new parlor for the first time and not only am I definitely not coming back but I’m obviously not suggesting this place to anyone.
Edit: owners response not only proved my point but I got a text saying “thanks for your review. Note that you’re blocked from booking appointments with us. Have a good day.” After I said I was definitely not going back. “Literally 15 seconds” and “left without saying anything else” when reviewing the camera footage you can clearly see me have a response and have the receptionist look away from me. Love your professionalism. Top notch.

I was really looking forward to visiting this place. It looked really cool from the picture, I really loved the vibe, and it was for piercings. Most places cater to tattoos.
I was strictly looking for jewelry. I brought my other jewelry (captive hoops) for my snake bites, so as to ensure that I'd get the right size.
They have a beautiful and wide assortment, unfortunately I wasn't helped.
I told the lady behind the counter, what I was looking for, and showed her my jewelry for reference in size.
She said she wasn't sure if they had what I wanted. I asked if she had a measure, in order to tell me what size I needed.
She said she didn't have a way to measure.
Other people showed up, and I was pushed aside. They had appointments for lobe piercings.
I understand that they had an appointment, and needed to be taken care of, but in addition to not helping me, she didn't let me wait until they were done. She gave me a card, and told me to make an appointment. Basically showing me the door.
I just wanted to buy jewelry. They should have had calipers, or even just a working knowledge of standard sizing, in order to help people.
It's not practical to be there, and ready to buy, only to be turned away and told I need an appointment. If an appointment is needed in order to just buy jewelry, that should be made clear in advance. I wasted time, gas, and left with nothing.
She was at no point rude, or unpleasant, but I wasn't helped in any way.
I hate to be forced to shop online, but I've yet to be helped by any local shops... I've visited 4 so far.😔
