Jimi was professional, caring & amazing as always. I took one of my daughters in for a couple more piercings... He has done quite a few on myself & my 2 teens with plenty more to come & will be the one who does all of my younger kids if/when they decide they want piercings. He thoroughly explains everything he is doing as well as shows everyone everything & makes sure everyone is satisfied. The best part is he checks on the person he is piercing repeatedly to make sure they are doing okay the entire time & that they're comfortable. You can't find a better or more caring piercer & he continues to take care of you if needed. This is the guy you should see for all of your piercings.

My daughter & I came here for cartilage piercings. We happened to come on a day where they were having a special (lucky us!!). Any piercing (to my understanding) at $30!!! That's HALF the usual cost so I was already impressed. The wait time was relatively short even though it was a Saturday afternoon, the shop was clean & they had PLENTY of interesting things to keep our eyes visually stimulated. Once we got to the back, our piercer- Jimmy Bones was welcoming & easy going. His vibe helped relax my daughter who was getting pierced for the 1st time & pretty anxious. Mr. Bones was clearly no rookie as he was able to keep a lighthearted conversation with us while he setup. He even had a young apprentice he was guiding through the process. Overall super satisfied, will definitely be back for future work!

I was so nervous to get my nose pierced but Jimmie calmed me down, and told me it was all doing to be fine. He did if super fast, that I barely felt it! Everything was brand new he even opened up everything in front of me so I know that it’s never been used. When I got into the room it smelled super clean and I was a lot more comfortable. He went over everything I need to do and I was very comfortable talking to him. Definitely go get your piercings by him 10/10!!

I really enjoyed this place. I wasn't here for a tattoo, but was here to get my nose pierced. The guy who did it was extremely professional, but laid back. He was easy to talk to, and made me feel very comfortable to be there. He started off by introducing himself after we (my twin sister and I) arrived, and then invited us back to his area when we were done with our paperwork. He then went ahead and gave instruction on what to do and a brief background of how the process was going to happen. He described every piece/instrument he was going to use on me and how it was going to be used, and showed me that everything was sterile by unpacking them in front of me. During the piercing process he was talking to me and letting me know what was going to happen next. I liked this because then I wouldn't have been surprised, like when the clamp was being removed there was a pop noise, but I didn't jump because I knew it was coming. And I was prepared for the pinch before he put the needle in. It was a great experience for me overall, and I'll be seeing him again for future piercings! I also can't wait to get a tattoo here. 🙂

My roommate, boyfriend and I all got our piercings done together here and we have almost hit 1 month. Because of the placement and weird angle they aren't healing right and my boyfriend's grew an irritated piece of skin, kinda like a lump. We did all the right things for aftercare but all go the same result. I don't recommend getting pierced here.
